Good point on Ford cars. Ford pickups used the hollow shaft up until at least 1960. Not sure after that.
Mine is definitely a working shop, so things get dirty. I use a Makita 18V leaf blower for all the display stuff up on the walls, and around the...
Here's some info about shortening the column/column shift mechanism/...
One more try on the full chassis. I bought a new tri-pod, as I was having problems focusing on the chrome...it kept coming out blurry when I was...

My son's 73 Camaro. This was a father and son high school project which we got on the road back in 2017. He's been busy with life since, so still...
Not gonna make it in '26. Shooting for 2027.
Thanks, that does focus more on the subject at hand.
I've been following along for a while. The car looks amazing with the hood sides on. The car looks just like the cars I remember seeing at rod...
I agree 100%. I'd love to see what a professional could do with it as it sits. Once the car starts going back together, a lot of these parts...
My great grandfather's California license plate collection that was hung in my dad's shop and recently relocated to my shop. Along with some...

That is correct for a Model A or 32/33-34 wishbone. 35-36 were offset towards the top, so that might be what you were thinking of.
Best bet is to heat and bend the spindle arms either up or down. I prefer to run the tierod over the wishbone, but many go under with it....
Looks like The Old Chrome Coupe made the back cover of the 2026 Bob Drake/Hop Up Calendar... [ATTACH]
Good seeing you as well! And we were all a little sad it wasn't the coupe! And I figured I better change up the sedan, so I wasn't just...
