This is not an especially cool or slick AV8 but, it gets extra points because it's mine and it lives in my garage. And I didn't go into debt for it.
My reasoning for going back to the stock setup is to try to gain enough room to run a mechanical fan instead of electric...I will probably just go...
A little over a year ago I purchased a hot rod project that an old fellow had decided to give up on. It is a 29 Model A roadster with a 1948 59A...
It is 1/8 inch toe in. In my mind that it negative...1/8 toe out would be positive.
Death wobble is gone with front axle at 6 degrees positive caster. And, yes, I did check toe in as soon as it was suggested and I have 1/8 inch...
I haven't posted pictures because I have already taken the wishbones off in preparation of resetting the caster. The majority of the post I have...
Thank you
What is scrub radius?
I’ll get some photos in the morning and post them.
I do not have a panhard bar, that is probably something I am going to need to do.
I have not checked the toe in. I will have to research how to check and adjust that.
Yes the kingpins and all connections seem fine. It didn’t do this before I adjusted the caster.
Yes, I installed a dead spring perch but it caused more problems than it solved so I took it back off. That’s WTH
I am new to hot rodding in general and Model A's specifically. I have a 29 roadster with a V8 that I bought from a fellow who started building it...
I bought a model A which had been started as a hot rod project back in September. I have been finishing it since then and recently got it...

A couple of months ago, I bought a Model A project that an old fella had started but not able to finish. It has a 1948 flathead V8 in it and I...

Just got my new project home Saturday with a little help from some friends. 29A roadster with a 239 flathead 8. The fella that started it lost...
When my wife's daughter came over on Saturday she asked where I was. My wife said he is out of town this weekend for the HAMB races in south...
I hope this is the right place to post this. I joined the group back on April 2nd and a couple of days later I got an email that said my...
My 36 Chevy pickup sits low in the front, lower than I would like. The original leaf springs have eight leaves but mine only has three...I know...
The helicopters I rode had two Jesus nuts. Helicopters are just thousands of spare parts all moving in close formation.
I'm still pretty new to the world of hot rods, I have always loved them just never seemed to land in one place long enough to get into the hobby....
If I learned anything during my days working on helicopters it was, listen to the old timers and the guys that have been there. The lessons they...
I don't think I ever said anything about hating it, quite the opposite...I love this little pickup.
Yep, early 36
The 1936 pickups were high cab in early 36 then they had a mid year body style change to the low cab. And the box is original to the truck.
