Here it is today, true survivor! :rolleyes::D [IMG]
The very freshly restored Eddie Miller Lakester will be there. :D
Well that's cool there's still at least one around. Anyone else have any ideas?
Anyone have any info on the car and trailer in this pic? I know the car was on the cover of hot rod in march of 54. The guy in the pic is the...
Did anyone happen to get a shot (or even video) of the Jimmy dragster's 2nd run? I saw the thing pull the wheels about a foot off the ground and...
Just me, I guess. Nice site, but the eye candy link doesnt work. :(
I dont know about you, but my truck gets 10mpg . . . I'm sure as hell not going to walk 10 miles for $3.50. :D
Wes, I'm in Temecula and have 4 wheels and tires that will work for you. I think they came off a 48 F-1. They're yours if you can pick them...
It will wear through. I would imagine that the outside will still look fine, but the parts that touch will eventually wear and rust. You could...
Alot of guys use aluminum on Jeep shit. Its a product called alumiflex...
You need a roll cage (not a roll bar) at a minimum. I know there are other requirments, depending on the class you enter. Unfortunatly not many...
Too bad its not SD - LA. :D Good Luck :)
yup:rolleyes:
I'm planning on bidding on some 36-39 hubcaps on e-bay, but really dont want to pay the inflated $40 shipping fee. I was wondering if someone...
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I found a 60 something ford rad. that fits in my chopped shell perfectly. I just need to find the inlet and...
Whats the wheel center look like? I would drill out the center and weld in a keyed bung, if possible. Or just press in the bung and weld it, if...
No problemo brudda. :D
I posted a thread a while back about bagging my 66 Chrysler. There were alot of good ideas, but nothing that I really wanted to use. My idea was...
PM me with the details. I'm about an hour north of SD, but plan on heading up to LA this weekend. I might be able to help. No promises.
Long Beach sucks. Its the same asshole selling the same garbage month after month. I quit going because of this. I know you wont miss me. :D...

At least we're on the same track! :D
August stays pretty warm, October can get pretty cold. There is always the possibility of rain. Ummm, something else to do in Wendover . . ....
Damn heavy cars! I dont think mine is going to be as fancy. Probably stock 14 inch wheels and bump stopped just before the frame is down, so I...
IIRC the 79's torsion bars are transverse mounted, not long ways with a mid (rear) crossmember. I dont know if it changes anything, but thanks...
I'm sure it would handle better, but you would still have to replace the A arms to clear the coilovers (I'm pretty sure). Also, if the coilover...
What did you do with the torsion bars? Crank down or remove? Thanks
Can you see any problems with removing the bars completely? If I can just remove them, w/o any side effects, that would make things alot easier....
Thanks guys. I like both the ideas. I will look into them somemore. Here is what I was thinking. As far as I can tell, the torsion bar locates...
