Someone really signed up here to post what's a muffler on a 13 year old thread?
This is my car. It's 15" all around. 5.60 15 front and 8.20 15 rear
Oak bows in PA and Wescott fiberglass were the only two who offered them when I needed mine about 6 years ago. Pretty sure I ordered one from each...
Pretty sure that's one of Joe Conforth's cars, some of his stuff has been in the Rodder's Journal.
Is that body shortened and narrowed? What's the story there?
Check out a Napa UP 36664. It's 16 1/2 long but otherwise seems to match up.
That picture has been around long before AI. It's a promo shot and there's more pictures like that,but the car isn't in the movie.
I was reading the June 1967 Hot Rod magazine and I saw this ad for forged aluminum Hurst sticks, have you ever seen one? [ATTACH]
Not the most outstanding picture, but I built something similar to alchemy on my roadster. Left is front, right side is the rear. I used a stock...
HotrodA is right the 49-50 merc borg & beck pressure plate is the ticket. Getting hard to find.
He never said he never changed the oil? I think he means he doesn't have to take the filter housing on and off.
You can still get the old cal custom style chrome generator covers for that Ford generator. One of those would look right at home on there.
I uses these bulge seat lugs on my old wheels, dorman 611-093 still 1/2 thread and 13/16 hex head like original. [ATTACH]
It's basically the same engine, might as well have more cubes. Might be a little harder to find a bellhousing adapter but they're out there.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but cut down sports car doors. [ATTACH]
The archive is an interesting subject. I've considered selling my old hot rod magazines since I can bring them up on my phone or computer. But...
I called yesterday because I have an older set of Diamondbacks that probably need replacement soon. It's 20% off. It's tempting, but I think the...
Huh?
I've got radials, 225/75 15, which is probably close to an 8.20 15. My car has a drop axle in the front and a few leafs out of the back. If it was...
I went with the larger 36% and cable shift so there's a T handle under the dash. I have 3:78 and a tall rear tire but the healthy flathead pushes...
I have one in my '47 coupe and I love it. I did have to notch the floor under the rear seat, it would hit on bumps, so I would imagine floor...
It's not a bad idea to disconnect the battery if the car is sitting for a while anyway.
I'm curious how you used a GM voltage regulator on a Ford. I didn't think they were interchangeable.
I never saw the roadster having black cycle fenders on the rear before.
I have a Mitchell in my '47 and I have a very similar Borg Warner adapted to a torque tube like the one above in my '40. The Mitchell is a little...
I'm 40 and these are the first two model cars I built with my dad when I was a kid. They'd been knocked around quite a bit over the years but I...
You just need shorter clips to hold the cap on, along with the crab cap and rotor. Before the Ford parts places carried them VW bug clips are...
I have a few questions I thought it's worth starting a new thread for. First off, this cam spins in the plate, not easily, but when it was in the...
That looks like a dropped and filled axle to me.
Bringing up an old thread for a coupe of random questions. I have a Y block Rev pol I plan to convert to a double life. When I took it apart to...
