We were headed down from Fresno with my buddies '46 Ford Tudor, but got stuck in town tonight. Odds are good we'll be taking it down next week...
When the brakes went out on my '47 Plymouth business coupe I realized it was much cheaper to spend $700 on a running '74 Monte Carlo and do the...
So tempting, but there's no chance I could make it in time from Fresno...
The ex skipped town and left me with her Pontiac hearse with a 455 in it. Since I'm not blowing money on dinner, movies, and flowers, I've got...
I used to work right there. When did they put in a Bob's? Looks like I'll be trapped in Fresno this weekend, but will probably be at the Bob's in...
I saw it in person on Friday at Bob's and can honestly say the pictures don't do it justice. Absolutely amazing!
Just caught this thread. I'll be heading from LA back to Fresno on Thursday. I'll call before I leave the Valley to see if you still need help. I...
It's a P-15, so 1946-early 1949. There is a round tag in the middle of the dashboard that probably says Special Deluxe. Looks like you have 1...
I have a small hinged panel in the trunk that opens up to a short neck on the tank. Spills end up on the ground, not in the car. To keep the last...
Those headers are insane! I love 'em.
The Fresno Tower Theater is a block from my house. They just replaced all the neon last year. [IMG]
That's easy, the Fry's by the Burbank airport with the '50s sci-fi theme. There's a UFO crashed into the building! [IMG]
It's a limited depth of field effect. You'll want to find a camera that lets you adjust your aperture which is the diameter of the hole allowing...
$40/hour and comes to you right here in Fresno? Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing it around town when it's done.
Go hit Bob's. You probably won't see a whole lot of great stuff tonight, but use your imagination. I moved a few years ago and haven't been on a...
These are very cool, although I'm not in the market for them (yet). One thing that came to mind when you started talking about them being a...
Having worked in IT for years and done my share of web work, I typically don't like Flash based websites. Yours is one of the few exceptions. Well...
Jaws Of Life? LOL!
Maybe this is crazy talk, but what about using an engine hoist? It would obviously be a last ditch effort. Might be just the thing to break it loose.
Spent some time in the early afternoon on the deck enjoying the sun with the dog, then headed over to the shop to do a little work on the...
My '47 Plymouth Special Deluxe Business Coupe as it currently sits. I have the door panels, they just aren't in yet. I'm waiting until I can...
It's a crappy cameraphone picture, but you can sort of make out the threads. At some point I'll dig out my real camera and get a better shot. [IMG]
Perhaps I read a few too many threads about safety just before I started writing this one. Three way seat belts, and collapsing columns, and...
That body looks to be in better shape than the touring sedan carcass I'm going to be building on next year. Go for it!
Now that I've done some digging and measured a similar shaft, I believe this should be fine. According to wikipedia the blank should have a...
I'm shooting for late '50s with my '47 Plymouth, with a some concessions for safety and a couple for convenience. It will be my primary driver, so...
I thought about drilling out the shaft an tapping it, but decided to see if I could get the die to work. Not being an engineer, I'd be worried...
Thanks for your input! Visually, it looks good, and given the amount of metal that was removed, I believe the threads are at full depth....
It's '76 or later because it has the month tag on the license plate. Not certain what color the year tag is. :-(
Although I don't post a lot, I have learned tons from this board and figured I might be able to pay back even a little bit. I'm posting this...
