I KNOW a car looks good when I scroll to the photo and say "DAAAAAMN" out loud. Looks terrific. How many leaves did you remove from the front...
I've been enjoying this build for a while. Iron Trap Garage is definitely in my top 5 YouTube channels. Quality content, great production, no filler.
Way cool. Growing up, my parents told me stories about friends of theirs who would ice race their Saab up and down the east coast. I've always...
I believe he used the Old Yankee Speed Co. kit. [MEDIA] Here's another video of someone using the OYSC mounts: [MEDIA]
Vern Tardel's books are an invaluable resource: https://www.verntardel.com/store/c16/Books.html I believe you get a discount with a HAMB Alliance...
A small detour for this installment. Browsing Facebook Marketplace as one does, I saw a listing for a trailer made out of, as the seller stated in...
I really dig this car and I'm enjoying its evolution. Subbed.
A few days after hot tanking my intake, the finish was very dark and uneven. I decided to sandblast the intake to get an even finish before...
I've been keeping an eye out for vintage speed equipment since I agreed to buy the Model A, and the week before Christmas, a Fenton 2x2 manifold...
Believe it or not, that was the first one I'd ever seen in person!
Shortly after I started college, I met @Don Moyer at a cruise-in in my hometown, and he preached to me the gospel of the Traditional Hot Rod. At...
Thanks HEATHEN! Very cool info in that catalog page you posted. Mine looks like it might have been polished at some point - it's very smooth....
Thanks! I picked the manifold up this afternoon. Looks like it'll clean up nice.
Yup, same article I found. Kind of wild that these intakes were apparently so ubiquitous yet there's so little concrete info about them! Thank...
Hello, I'm trying to nail down a production date on this Fenton manifold I'm planning on picking up tomorrow. I know these things are pretty...
Man, I hope I get this lucky when I buy mine. Good going so far! Can't wait to watch the reassembly after it gets back from the machine shop.
Cool thread with a lot of awesome photos! I have a 2.5 car detached garage behind my house. It's a pretty good size, but the layout is somewhat...
I tried to take advantage of what may be the last nice day this year to rake some leaves and get some work done on an OT project car. The sooner...
Just finished reading through all five pages. Looks great so far, you've done amazing work considering how rusty this was when you started! I...
I spend a lot of time on two wheels. I'm more afraid of driving a hot rod in traffic because it's less nimble/maneuverable than a motorcycle. That...
This is an awesome build, and it's pretty incredible that you're accomplishing it with spare parts. Good on you for actually building a solid car,...
The Uncertain-T is an incredible car that pushed boundaries both visually and technically, and the story behind it it fascinating. I'm glad that...
Just finished reading through all 28 pages. Great build, I'm in awe of your resourcefulness! It's really starting to come together!
No sweat, man. I knew exactly what you meant and I had to think for a minute to remember what they were called! Awesome tool to have around and I...
This is a great idea. Get some miles on the car, and see different stuff than you usually do. Solid plan.
There's a weekly cruise night that's walking distance from my house. I usually only go once, maybe twice a year; there's not a whole lot to see. I...
Sucks that this happened to you, but like you said earlier, it's a good opportunity to get up close and personal with your Flathead. That sounds...
Hey, you're not selling a couple of banjo rearends on Facebook Marketplace, are you? I just found a pair in your neck of the woods.
Hi, I'm Cam, from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio - an Akron suburb. I've been into cars for my entire life - seriously. My earliest memory is a car show,...
Got out of a long-term relationship, decided to drown my sorrows in gasoline and bought an OT childhood dream car of mine before they got...
