Will just the Chevy II spindles work or can you use the A-arms also? Has anyone setup any type of air bags on a 61-63 BOP? I am about to go...
I use AutoCAD for my house plans and Solidworks for everything else. Good choice with Solidworks. The only problem is your going to want to model...
Here is a little more info to add. I have a 1957 283 block that does not have side motor mounts that I had a shop machine for me. They bored it...
Just for reference.
Here is a sketch of what I'm thinking for mine. There may be a few more bars. Very preliminary.
I drove a little modified with steeles and whitewall motorcycle tires and it seemed to be fine but the car weighs nothing. I think in a drag car...
Hover your pointer over the pic for a couple of seconds until a little box shows up in the lower right corner and click it. The image will enlarge...
I'd like to know more about the axle on my project. I found a source for cylinders and parts but I don't like the looks of the old setup. I don't...
I paid $150 for a 292 with a 4spd. My ford-o-matic 2spd cost $1200 to rebuild. I would rather have gone with a adapter and different tranny. Is it...
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I know what you mean by it's my car and I'm gonna do what I want with it anyway. The springs are new so I think I'm...
Oh, the wheels are just rollers. So how bout suggestions on those also. Slicks? Dirt? Street?
That's kind of how the frame sits with the springs and such. The only way to go lower on the front gets into dropped axles. That's why I was...
Bolted up the suspension on the willys today and would like some input on channeling the body down. How do you guys feel about the stance as it...
Well, welcome to the neighborhood. When you get here I'll go on the nickle tour with you and radshit. He knows more people than I do. If you can't...
Do you have any more pics of that thing? Like the dash or firewall? It looks a lot like the cowl that I am using with the piano type hing on the...
The city calls my project "Debris". I think I'll call the rod that when it's finished.
This one looks nice.
The only lot I know of with old stuff down there is on Broadway just north of Rio Bravo. Nice walk but priced a bit high. You would like the...
I'm not sure what other shows are going on. There is a little museum up near Bernalillo on 528 that has some neat cars. A lot of Great American...
Westside Hooters show on Saturday 11-4pm, Chops Show at the Bowling Alley at Louisiana and Lomas on Sunday.
At one point in time I had a bright red '90 VW Van. Deb had taken it up to the local mart with a large parking lot and after doing her shopping...
Thanks 53, that's what I was looking for. I don't have a torch so making the heat is an issue, not to mention I probably cant weld with nickle rod...
Yes, you are correct. However I guess I was more curious if you can weld the cast type steel structurally?
I have attached a pic of how I am going to hang my rear springs. The hangers have been borrowed from the front of another chassis of the same...
Not this year but my girlfriends brothers car made the T-shirt. His is the '61 Buick. Have a Good Time.
Great suggestions guys, thanks. I am definitely shaving the handles. I like the two tone idea at the body line instead of the roof. I think I will...
Getting ready to strip down the fairlane and paint it in the next few weeks and thought I would see what kind of suggestions that you guys could...
I made it out but I forgot to take the camera with me. It was a very good turnout with quite a few cars that I had not seen before which is great...
I think everyone has already bashed all the current shows enough. I have learned tidbits from a lot of the shows like Trucks, Biker build off,...
Spence, Your problem sounds like what I was going through with my '60. If you haven't already dropped the tank then I would go ahead and do it...
