What part of NC? I'm out near the coast.
I'm helping my 85 yo neighbor revive his 1939 Chevy business coupe after it's last drive in 1971. After getting it running and replacing almost...
Keeping them in the family must be a Carolina thing. Mine was built in Norfolk Virginia just a few miles north of here and, with the exception of...
Looking good!
FWIW I have it on my 55 Customline with 460 based power. Works great. Just a slight bit larger than stock.
I'm doe also. Got just about all of my stuff from them this go round. My window channel felt was barely stuck and falling out. Called and a...
That's me! Had a fuel pump problem in Charlotte. In tank fuel pump got hot, fuel got hot, pump quit. I had to stop for fuel every time I got to...
Tube is open, it's the tank fitting. Wondering if it has a baffling.
I recently ran into an issue with fuel tank venting. I'm running fuel injection with the pump inside the stock tank. I didn't use fuel pump...
Saw your car but never could find you and the car! Looking good! I only counted 3 '55 Fords.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know of a source for stainless shoulder screws for the 55 front parking lens? These repops rust in no time! Thanks!
I thought it was a bit thicker but it's been a long time since I had the car. Never throw anything away! Thanks! Bill
Yes, please! Duplicating on my sedan.
Yes, that's it! I've added a lot of power and torque and would like to stiffen the frame. It would be great if you could give me the thickness!!
Yep, that's the one. I want to stiffen this thing up some. I had one here but didn't measure the thickness. I just didn't think to do that at the...
Anybody know how thick the steel was on these? Thanks!
Thanks for the help! I'll change that out.
Thanks for the reply. I questioned the #10 from the alternator because I was seeing the larger amp alternator kits using #6 and #8 wire from the...
I'm just getting started with my 9+3 kit. I believe that the 10 gauge from the panel to the battery gets the fusible link? What size wire do I...
Hi folks, I have apparently made a mistake (I got yelled at in all caps) by asking the wrong question over on the main board. I am having a...
Its a gear box, regardless of when its built or what name is on the side. Paxton's and roots have gear boxes in them too. I wasn't asking about...
I appreciate you taking the time to set me straight! I'm not asking how big of fart pipe to put on a Honda. If my post was in the wrong spot in...
WOW! No one? I'll give some feedback on my own post then. Although I have never noticed the wobble before it is/was there. It's hard to imagine...
I have a low runtime whipple 2.3 supercharger. Pulley is wobbling so there is a bearing going south somewhere. My guess is in the snout. I've...
Has anyone mastered painting the black accent on the rear glass stainless? I cleaned it with lacquer thinner, painted with self etching primer and...
I'm still working on this. THANK YOU all for the information! I think that I will use a switchable breaker for the main power line from the...
Well I emailed Flaming River to see if their one gauge was solid copper. They responded that it was solid copper. It arrived today...4,700 strands...
Reading back through, I did not mention this is a street car so no track rules but I do want to be reasonably safe and not burn it up! I do the...
