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...
If you want gloss and you are painting a car, sure, but if you have a car like that '46 Ford it might be a great option to get a whole new look.
I built my roadster with the whitewalls going for the 1955 look. I swapped on the mags two summers ago. I like both personalities, might go back...
I really love the way it looks in that pic when Setzer owned it. Similar enough to the movie, but nicer. I'd love to see it like that again. At...
Awesome video! Random detail I noticed, I never really thought about hoodies being a thing back then, but there they are on a chilly morning,...
Why is someone who has been on the hamb for 20 years asking rhetorical questions.
I just had a similar problem. I'm thinking with the way the car was rarely driven it was probably never right. I'd take the front calipers off of...
I'd rewire the whole car, make sure everything is good, then dive into the EFI end of things. While you are wiring be mindful of what you can add...
Update, car is yellow and we used it in our wedding also. My cousin still had my uncle's old camera, our photographer was able to recapture that....
I believe it's referring to the heater itself, as the other side mentions South Wind, which was their line of car heaters.
Sure what do you think?
I'd try to replace the original tapered seat lug nuts with bulge seat lug nuts, they probably wouldn't run down as deep into the wheel so you...
The Keystones had the K logo between the lug nuts on the back. Maybe if OP cleans up some of the cobwebs you'll see some small marking in that area?
Separate names with a comma.
