Great eye! The entire grille is definitely offset to the right by an inch or so. The drivers side outboard grille edge essentially lines up plumb...
Ok, that's cool, but I don't see dropped forged I see a cast part. Cast steel and machined. I say that because the Super Bell lettering appears to...
[ATTACH] The Super Bell arms are drop forged and are not notched for a zerk. It's safe to say they did not (over) design the part...
"The PO didn’t do this scary work ,someone before him ." What concerns me is that multiple owners were "good with the work". The PO, as well as...
Most old towns have a historical society/museum staffed by long time residents that are a wealth of knowledge and have tons of photos and...
When I built my own home, I only farmed out the stucco and septic system. Electrical was the most intimidating trade. I bought a couple of...
If you can't read the stamping, hit it with a shot of white spray paint, then block sand it to reveal the numbers. If that fails cut a 3 sided...
I agree with @evintho, buy another 10 x 17 for $200. I would pour a concrete slab so you can anchor the posts. Or at least initially pour a...
I've got a soft spot in my heart for 40 coupes, but this one is drop-dead perfect! Seriously, did the original builder own a chrome shop? If not,...
Pic #3 of the guy in the roadster reveals a boy (just above the steering wheel) that looks like (slightly younger?) the kid posted with the Brew...
Watch a few episodes of the TV show Cuban Chrome. You'll see what obstacles they face. They'll machine, weld and adapt anything to make the car...
'The other side of the bridge' worked out just fine and your narrative and shots are top notch. I feel the lens adapter is photo-hot rodding, akin...
Call the tech/sales line of your desired camshaft company and tell them your build goal. They'll ask you to share what vehicle, drivetrain specs...
Jeez, all of my chips were on a Bad Chad build! The car's front end starts out with a well intentioned Rivera/61 Imperial vibe then progressively...
Interesting provenance of big money $$$. Leonard Firestone of the Firestone Tire co (who survived a kidnapping attempt!):...
Good call Alchemy. The LA 33 and LA 63 are old postal zones. When zip codes started in the early 60's LA was issued a 900 prefix, so those zones...
You uncovered gold when you deep sixed the "dog nostrils" rear window to find a 51 frame! The only sure course is to lay a 51 glass in there to...

Improvising, taking shortcuts to save time and not following the most elementary safety principles. He's an OSHA incident waiting to happen. He'll...
You answered your own question. Swap the rear with an appropriate width one, then add wider rear wheels and tires. The truck currently has the...
I’ve also had 403 all day on my PC ( chrome browser as usual). Cleared the cache and browser and restarted, still have 403. Iphone has been fine.
Super cool move Dad! She and the 'Vair are a great pairing! It'll look good with some old school drip rail mount surf racks. Don't forget the Cal...
Very tastefully done and she cleaned up great! Post some interior and engine pics. Do you know what year/month magazine it was published. Maybe...
If they won't accept that for the article, remove the blocks, have it inspected then reinstall.
Fordors is correct! It's San Diego Raceway, which was located at Ramona airport, Ramona, CA. At 0:18 you can see a plane taking off in the...
My guess is that it was part of an economy "universal" handyman's home tool set. (I remember when I was really young, my Dad had a super cheap ass...
Only a driver's side mirror to pass vehicle code. Even a convex passenger side is pretty much pointless. If you're looking that far to your right,...
That's a kick ass 5/W! Hope you're keeping those wheels on it. Welcome to the "deep pocket" world of 33/34 Fords. Bob Drake made repro hinges that...
A HAMBer with a 1953/1953ish Muroc timing program may be able to narrow it down. The 48 Chevy taillights on the Model 40 are a good clue. How...
Great deal, especially if you can cherry pick and not have to clear the place to the walls. Pic #1: Craftsman (?) case on floor, cases on bench....
Separate names with a comma.
