Good looking job on the pipe.
Love single bar flippers, those are going to look great sparkling while moving down the road.
Nice build. My '40 coupe has stamped numbers on the right side of the firewall. According to Mike Kubarth the presence of numbers are the...
I totally agree. Lowridering is the best thing that could happen to a fat 4 door
There is a factory accessory pan that goes between the bumper and tail pan. They called it a gravel deflector as owners were reporting stones...
I will be using this shrink tube to bundle my wiring: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B2WFDFJ5?smid=AKIJ435WAXXE9&th=1 [ATTACH]
I believe the master cylinder boot needs to go on the push rod first with the first rubber convolute after the small opening over the washer on...
Really enjoying your build.
Yep, got mine yesterday in GA. I will admit, I have two previous issues still in the wrapper to read. They are too nice to take into the...
Been wanting to try this guys mix, looks extremely promising and cheap to boot. [MEDIA]
All this starter chatter had me back in the garage and digging through stuff. I believe if the chassis is on stands, the axle hanging on the...
I have done this too and also needed to add a one way valve in the fuel line to prevent siphoning back into the tank leaving a dry line every morning.
Thank you for this. I also do happen to have a freshly rebuilt/reman 56 324 olds starter (came with parts motor I got the #10 heads off) and have...
Chugging along. When we last meet the engine was in but pointing at 7.5* down and needed to come up a lot to match the 4* up the rear end is...
Good to see Don in a full suit with gloves. Too many guys being nonchalant with the paint in short sleeves and bare hands.
Sounds like fuel percolation with heat soak. Basically the hot motor causes fuel to evaporate out of carb bowls. Modern fuel is not designed for...
I have been using an Airtex E8016S that is low pressure (about 3.5 psi) and not noisy at all compared to a Holly blue or red when mounted to the...
It was my understanding that it was not impalement bur rather that coats and handbags could be snagged and then the pedestrian would be dragged along.
Only considered bargains against previous bloated prices. Continuing the trend towards making hot rods affordable for regular people again. The...
I really did not want to cut it up and was stalling as best as I could but needing to make progress and BAM he called, crazy. I knew somebody...
The AutoTrans guy david edwards said not to use a gasket between the flywheel and crank flange as the Pontiac manual specifically states not to do...
I totally agree. It looked HUGE on the floor and was like how is this going to fit, but it does.
I built the 51 olds hydro that is going in my '40. Its chronicled in my build thread in my signature. It was not all that hard to do but finding...
Back on the struggle of the right rear fender.....I have been looking for nearly 10 years for a good one under $500 and no luck. I had a...
Post up an image from the manual. For many of the J tools there is a work around.
Keep this thread going, no need for a new one. You can change/alter the title if you wish and everyone who has been following will still get...
The two on the right is the way to go. Diamondback Tires can shave off the lettering when you buy from them.
Nice to see you back at it.
Last year with my son at home before college, two years left with the girl child at home so family first. Hoping for a few last hurrah trips and...
Be mindful that the speedway kit pushes out the front tires quite a bit on each side, around 1". If you have a narrowed front axle you are OK but...
