Old school build 1976. She said she was tired of the drag strip life and wanted to go back to a street car so i repainted her.
Flames not finished completely but just done a couple of weeks ago
This was my first trip to the drags and I can understand being worn out from years of it. But as a first time attendee, who had wanted to attend...
Drovestraight through 500 miles to finally get to see them. Wasn’t disappointed. Whole event was great! Unbelievable really. Organized and well...
I put a 455 in my '35 International pickup with a turbo 400. Like mentioned you will need to use a short oil filter to clear the frame I think....
12.25 with 660 center squirters, 12,5/1 trws and a Muncie in a '55 around 1979. Fun, fun, fun..
I'm running a '73 455 in the '35 international with the stock radiator (non pressurized) and it runs 180 at 65 mph so I don't think these big...
Bought a '56 chevy Belair for $125 that smoked so bad you had to cut it off at stoplights to stay in it due to the holes in the floorboard and the...

I say flame it. What about masking off outside the tape as it is now and fog in light blue around the inside edge of the flame letting the...
x2!
Thanks Guys. I'll see what i can do with the info.
I am ready to apply for a tag in Mississippi for my 1935 International. Inspection by Highway Patrol is completed, Tax Commision must issue a VIN...
I personally would just ring it and get the car on the road. On a street car like you describe I get the most bang for my buck with aluminum...
I just used some FRP (Fiberglas Reinforced Plastic) from Home Depot. 4 x 8 sheet, easy to cut, grind and drill. It has a texture on one side of...
Shock bottom out during the drive? Looks like shock may need to be shorter or mounts relocated to allow more travel.
Almost done.
Nice garages. I need to move up the ladder.
I tried luan in my '35 International but couldn't get the bends tight enough. I used some stuff called FRP (fiberglas reinforced plastic) form...

Sometimes you just get a few wild hairs in a brush and I just clip them with a razor blade or pull them out with tweezers. Make sure you get all...
I do a little of both and even though they both require paint and a brush, I find the layout and design processes very different. Its like I have...
Hobart handler 140 has worked good for me but I think they are made by Miller now. Mine even has a Miller electrode on it. Works with gas and has...
Same for me in my '55. Good streetable combo, plenty of umph.
Congratulations! I'm hoping to have my '35 on the road by the end of the year and it's very similar. Have fun.
If I ever see anything unsafe - welds, no floors, driveshaft encased in expanded metal, non car seats - it's a RR. If i see any trinkets - rats,...
Stud extractor shown works like a top. I've used it with an old Lincoln crackerbox welder and it does what they say it will do. Won't stick to the...
'56 Chevy Belair, 283 w/ 3 speed. $125 and when you stood on it from a standing start you couldn't tell tire smoke from engine smoke. Smoked so...
Leave it. Looks great as it sits. If it's boring you, look at lowering it, painting it, or redoing the interior, something new to work on.
I do it like 51 Henry J does it, too. Sometimes if its real bad, ice in the water helps pull it in and sometimes I drill a 1/4 hole in the top of...
