They're frozen in there pretty hard. Tried some heat and a chisel and hammer. Didn't budge. Would you suggest to keep working it or leave it. They...
This is good info. Thank you guys. This might be a dumb question as I'm new to this car. But does the outer roller stay in the drum? I ask...
I'm super bummed about this because the biggest car show of the year is this Saturday. I was driving my 32 roadster yesterday when I heard a noise...
250!? It's to about 80 now. I'll be sure to torque it down tight. I was wondering about that because there's is a cotter pin in it. Thanks
Thanks for the help everybody. It was a sheared axle key on the drivers side. It wasn't too bad. Just a little filing to clean it up. Yesterday...
It is a banjo rear. With a broken axle shaft would the tires still rotate with the rear lifted?
It'll go into gear. But it won't move
I'm having a hard time getting my 32 roadster to go into move. It's a freshly rebuilt 59a, new clutch plate, clutch disk, and throw out bearing. I...
It's been a while since my last update. Life has been busy We had the engine rebuilt from the bottom up. Bored out, new valves, pistons/rings,...
That's exactly what I thought. I got the rebuild kit from third gen. It looks like everything else fits as it should. Are the screw holes a...
How do you date a fuel pump. The fuel pump rebuild kit that I purchased doesn't match the pump that I have. The holes on the diaphragm don't match...
Would it devalue the vehicle if we bought a brand new gas tank? This thing is in rough shape. Probably an inch of rust sitting in the bottom.
Thanks Tom. In the past I have used carb cleaner right after draining the muriatic to prevent flash rust. Out of curiosity what chemical/ acid...
[ATTACH] What's the best way to clean the gas tank? With smaller engines I have used muriatic with some marbles, and then kreemed it. Or the other...
What are your thoughts on the water pumps? Should we replace them? I think the chrome looks really cool. [ATTACH]
Found this scratched near the driver's side door. Kind of looks like a lucky horseshoe? [ATTACH]
I'm thinking that this will be our next tactic before we shell out for the puller.
That's a good question. Neither of us really had the knowledge or means to move it and get it running. We assumed that something was really wrong...
It has a left column shifter. We think it can off of whatever the engine was from because there no place in the tranny for a floor shift.
They sure are!
Yes those are latches for a hood lock. We considered removing them, but decided against it.
We want to add a fan, but we're running into clearance issues with the tach drive generator. Does anybody have any suggestions? We would prefer to...
That's really hard to hear. I'm sure there were more than a few classics that were lost. Our neighbor up the street had a Shogun....
We're hoping to have it ready for the Black Canyon car show next spring. You'll have to come check it out.

Whenever I see it I get butterflies in my stomach. Haha!
Some of you may have seen my post on the Roadsters Only page on Facebook about my grandfathers roadster. It was suggested that I go to the HAMB to...
Sadly, the car is not running. The block is at the shop getting dipped and magna fluxed.
I know that this question has been asked before. And I feel like I've tried damn near everything that has been suggested. But I'm at my wits end....
