Thanks to Bob Cole in Long Beach, CA. The guy is FANTASTIC!!!!!!
OK, here is was the day I dragged it home: [IMG]
I'll be there. I've got my '56 Studebaker Champion entered in the show. It's not in the Suede Palace even though I wanted it there-- Sandy at Rod...
Good enough! I have a line on a '54 C Cab that would make a nice salt flats racer. Knowing I might be able to "borrow" your proven flathead...
I sure hope so. I won't be building a car for the flats for this year, but I have my eyes on the 6 cyl pickup class. How would that old flathead...
Dolling it up for the GNRS next month. These pics are a couple of months old, but you get the idea . . . [IMG] [IMG]
And NINE BILLION flies. Give me the bend ANY time! I have NEVER had a problem with mosquitos at the bend--you have to camp away from the...
The '56 Golden Hawk doesn't handle any worse than the Hawks with the Stude 289. Remember, the Stude V8 is a 650 lb monster--the Packard V8...
My car (Dodge Magnum) might not be HAMB friendly, but my 1962 Airstream Bambi trailer is! We'll be leaving from Long Beach at 4:30 AM on...
'49 Olds 2-door sedan.
I found this on line, but none of the stuff here applies: http://www.sw-performance.com/upload/122-126-SWPP-DimensionsWiring.pdf
No wires with the tach, but here are a couple of pics. [IMG] [IMG]
I picked up a SW Greenline tach at a swap a couple of months ago and I am about to install it in my '56 Stude. This is the later model that...
Pretty sure the trim comes out WITH the glass and goes back in WITH the glass as well! You'll garf it all up if you try to take it out FIRST.
If nobody comes through with someone closer (I made about 30 phone calls and nobody seemed all that interested), I guess I'll be making that drive...
Anyone out there know a good old school locksmith in Los Angeles. I used New York Key in Hollywood for years, but they gave up the ghost a couple...
The T-85 is THE grand mother of 3-speed OD transmissions. They are as close to bulletproof as can be. Have run them in Stude trucks and have one...
What profits? Without the government bailout (another 2 billion TODAY), you do of course understand that GM would have filed for bankruptcy in...
It really depends on what your goals are. If the project is going to be a frame up build, then it's obvious that it all sort of happens at once...
Why go to all that trouble when Stude Dana 44 rear ends are a dime a dozen and are plenty stong enough for anything that V6 can throw it's way?...
My wife's '55 half ton. Basically a stocker, but with a full flow 289 "cloverleaf" block and a T-85. Daily driver.[IMG] And my '56 Champion hot...
Had a buddy with a Gremlin. BUILT 401 with 4-speed and 4.55 locker rear end. Faded PURPLE factory paint with 'Levi's' interior, factory hubcaps...
Props. But the way things have been the last year or so, I think the tranny whores make more cash some weeks than I do . . . .
Dude, that's just flat out MEAN. Too bad Benito's is gone--a "rolled taco" is the perfect snack down on that part of Santa Monica. By the...
Not all that accurate, really . . .
Could do that, I suppose, But one end of the shaft has to be turned down .030 to accept a bushing (which I have) which in turn mounts to a...
The serrations aren't really all that important. The levers were pressed over the serrations and brazed. I have no problem making the levers (I...
Knowing my own limitations and having struck out for six months trying to track down this clutch operating shaft from various vendors (it's a rare...
I figure about 100 hours. What else are weekends for?
Define "low budget." Yeah, it started out that way, but this is a classic case of "mission creep." The more hours I spent the better I wanted...
