I used to spray lacquer clear over chromabase urethane basecoat at a body shop many years ago on school buses outside because they didn’t fit in...
Wheel Vintiques made me a set in the late 90’s. 14x7” reversed 1inch. I always ran G78’s. When I called to order them they were confused as to why...
Pretty cool project. Is any equipment still inside? I wonder if the project car was for drag racing?
Good eye! AHRF profile on Don lists his T with a Miller head, Pierre Bertrand cam and a Wico ignition.
I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. I carefully studied the 29’ roadster at the 99’ roadster show. So many details to take in! I’ve read...
It’s my understanding that he no longer has anything to do with this instagram page. I have a few friends that are close to him....
I think the Borgward Isabella is a good looking car. Kinda like an upscale Karmann Ghia. Definitely missed the mark on the concept car![ATTACH]
IMG_0752 by Pat posted Aug 12, 2024 at 6:40 PMI commend you on recreating the original linkage! I’ve successfully ran a Harper for many years on...
These color photos are so great!! Thank you and please keep em coming!
Bob Weinberg roadster. I believe it was built by lakes racer Bill Edwards and the body was formed by Indy car builder Lujie Lesovsky. I read the...
Thank you for posting these! That Vic Schankenberg 29 roadster has been an elusive favorite of mine for many years. I always assumed it was black....
Does it have a panhard bar? Did the split wishbone kit change the height of the pivot point which could cause a caster angle change . Chassis...
Nice flow and lines. Looks like it rivals anything the West coast coach builders did at that time. Is that the shop? Nice building! Wonder if they...
I’m ready to paint. Would have to reconfigure the dash, bracing, pedals, fill in the cowl. I did a build thread many years ago. It’s all pretty...
25 year old me vs. 51 year old me would like easier steering. Probably won’t change it though.
[ATTACH]I always read these cowl steering threads with interest. I have a 8 to 1 midget box. Norm Rapp in South SF used to sell these boxes for...
I’ve had good success with 2 part epoxy primers on bare metal. I used a lot of ppg DP in different colors. Bodywork then followed by a high build...
I’m late finding out about Al’s passing. After reading the first post I understand why. I met him at the Portland roadster show 23 years ago....
Any Tig with high frequency. Old millers or Lincolns with hi freq are great if you have the space. I like er70-s2 1/16” rod. Some people like...
Made a big move to the Santa Cruz mountains. Mid century log cabin and some land. Been working on that every free moment since we moved in 2 years...
Still have it. Moving to the mountains and everything that goes with that has put the roadster on hiatus. Should be starting on paint and assembly...
Pretty cool! Not the most attractive Ford product. Add a couple more bars and you'd have a 8.50 cert cage!
I would definitely run the carbs with straight linkage. Not progressive. Not sure if the Weiand has balance ports. But I would set it up like it...
I set up a Man-a-fre. 4x2 for a friend.(Like Milner’s coupe). Used a uni sync. Linkage has to be perfect. No flexing. All carbs have to be matched...
This came as shocking news yesterday. I was honored to be interviewed by him for a Rodders Journal article many years ago. His words definitely...
I’m a fan of the hydraulic TO bearing. Just a line running up to the clutch master. I’m running a Howe. McLeod makes one also. Clutch masters by...
Wow! Incredible find! I immediately thought of the green t in Cox's book also.
The hold downs look like 30s Jag. I agree looks British.
Catching back up with this thread. Please count me in for a shirt! If you ever need welding help or advice of any process, I'll try to help you out.
So true. I can’t get him off my mind. Nor do I want to. Take care and rest up!
