That really does sound like an unvented tank; ask me how I know. Try leaving the cap loose for a while and see if anything changes. If the vent is...
Well, I went through my flathead phase 60 years ago and won't be doing it again but still understand the appeal. Among other things I love the...
I saw it when it was new and thought it looked like a brothel on wheels. Time hasn't made it any better.
Those studs don't look long enough. With the wheels on, it appears like there would not be much thread engagement. Might just be optics, but you...
Is it RHD? It looks Australian.
Just some extra capacity to help keep the oil cool under hard conditions. If it's in good shape that's a good deal (as long as it has a diff, not...
A heavy 1/8" thick washer on each end would let it accept a 2" shackle.
I think it's because the body's been pushed back and channeled a little but the rad is still in the original place.
Could look cool if the grille were pushed back and down into it's normal relationship with the body.
That looks like really solid raw material for a build. '37s were under appreciated here for a long time, but as the supply of '36s and '40s has...
Could just be age. The tip surface slowly work hardens from constant pounding and eventually becomes brittle and starts flaking off. The surface...
I really like the 3.5 chop (it's what I did to my '33) and, if as you say, the current 3" chop is poorly done, taking another half inch out would...
As mentioned they could be sharpened with the right equipment, but those were meant for cutting the cast iron seats of the day. Even sharpened...
Move the front axle and flares forward 6". I'd do the same with their successors.
Was it parked immediately after the first shot? The as found pic looks like it's still wearing the same tires.
It may or may not have anything to do with your situation, but KYB shocks have had a (much) less than stellar reputation for about forty years.
AMC V8 as used in their Can Am (Trans Am?) cars. If you are going to do something different, you might as well go all the way.
That was the first commercially available CVT. It was a belt drive with variable width pulleys as are seen on some lathes and whatnot. I believe...
A chop, even a very bad one shouldn't have any effect on the area you're showing. My '33 5w looks just like that.
First be sure that the M/C rod has a bit of play. If the master can't fully retract fluid will be trapped in the system and as it heats and...
I'm doubtful, but have not tried it. The chrome is a very very thin layer over nickle and copper. You could try it on a scrap bumper or something...
It looks like one of those no lace slip-on shoes.
Years ago I put one in my wife's car that played the first bars of "I'm in the mood for love". The first time she used the turn signal she nearly...
Not sure about yours, but the tubes on mine were the same OD as 1/2" plumbing copper. If yours are, I would just cut off the bad section and...
Those would look cool with baldy caps.
Yeah, my wife's friend, the massage therapist, was constantly complaining about the endless grinding noise produced by her neighbor, my friend the...
Looks like you're adding caster rather than camber.
Bury it in a damp spot for a month or two.
That extra bolt hole is strong evidence that it was originally intended for something else, but who knows what?
Looks like you are setting it up for proper Ackerman with a front tie rod. Is that the reason?
Separate names with a comma.
