Originally I was going with the parallel leaf springs that came with the S10 rear end, but they would have been too wide and interfered with the...
OT (moving) but it does involve moving the 29 RPU and its new home. Loading up the A was bittersweet, that shop was great; [ATTACH] The old shop...
We've used these kits (from HF) several times on old pickups and trailers, worked well for us.
The first question for me, is do you own or are you buying this property? None of my business, but it would factor into any decisions on building....
While briefly living in Hawaii in '84, prepped n painted the landlords boat for my rent. I used Isocyanate marine paint and painted it in an old...
In my dad's shop, in the late 60's, we painted a lot of cars for the local car lots, high school kids, or anyone looking for a cheap paint job. We...
I usually upload to the cloud on Smugmug, then do a copy and paste to the HAMB. Thanks for the tip.
Do any of you know why some posted pictures disappear (leaving a red X), while others do not? I'm suspecting there is a file size limit, does...
Lots of great information, responses and encouragement here. Other than safety concerns (which I have for him like many of you), I'm in the "go...
JR's "mock up" parts are better than my permanent parts, his skills are amazing!
I'm learning a lot from watching your process of overcoming challenges. Your various solutions on transmission mounting/cross-members and rear...
Great story and road trip. Two references to Rufus made me laugh, just a wide spot in the road (on I-84) but we've stopped here a few times. Good...

Really appreciate the build details on your cool CCPU project. Very helpful as I slowly build my RPU, thanks!
Man, can't wait until I'm at the point of channeling the body! Am definitely listening to suggestions and logging them in my brain.
I started down the road of building a Duntov 283 and committed myself to solid lifters. I've built quite a few different SBC's (including my...
Took some measurements this morning on the Amazon priming tool and the corresponding areas of a Mallory distributor. There is a small difference...
From outward appearances the priming tool has a similar groove to the distributor housing that is intended to complete the lower oil circuit to...
This morning I tackled mounting the radiator. I figure that every part and piece that can be bolted on, is something less to pack and carry, and...
OT (kind of); About a week or so ago, my wife asked if we could go look at a house to buy. I knew she didn't like the house we are in because...
First attempt at priming with my battery powered drill was a no go. Just not enough power or speed to fully prime the motor and get oil up to the...
The next step was to finish dressing the front of the motor, starting with cleaning and painting parts; [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] The water pump pulley...
Just found your build, in my humble opinion your work is extremely impressive. My build will never be to your level, but I can sure study what you...
My dear old mom was a kid at heart and was up for anything. Would ride in all my cars no matter how loud, helped me change the rear end in my '59...
Donated parts from Joe; [IMG] Not sure what I'll use from this pile, I'm going to try and use those motor mounts. Just ordered a frame boxing...
Dig your car, and really love your mom going for a ride!
I'm glad you appreciate his efforts. That guy started with some frame rails and that old body. Guess I'm a little slow on the draw and probably...
One of the local hot rodders kept telling me he had a "rat rod", I should come over and see it and he also had some parts for me. I went yesterday...
Gorgeous car, best of luck!
A little more progress; This old AVS is giving up its accelerator pump linkage; [IMG] Now it's ready; [IMG] Now that it's ready to go the...
