Thank you! I'm just wondering how loud its going to be in my ear with the window down.
It's probably not everyone's cup of tea but here is my 63 Sprint. I just finished up the exhaust, and ended up having to dump it in front of the...
Finally decided to post mine. It's not 100% traditional, and im not exactly sure of the direction but I am having a ton of fun building it. This...
Very clean.

If the cooling system is running good, you should check leak down to make sure you dont have a lifted head gasket. Also check the cooling system...

Sorry, my understanding was the firewall was different on the 33/34 than the 32, leading me to believe mine is a 33/34. I'm still learning the...
1933/34 model pickup. Doors for this year seem to be as rare as hens teeth. I was thinking of building RPU out of it. If I do will standard 31...
A strut bag will not work. Struts have solid mount lowers where as you would need your lower mount to pivot due to articulating suspension....
Looks like you shortened and put some new dimensions on your control arms?
