Hi BDUB77, Here's a little more history on the Roadster. Glad it's still running and doing well. I bought the car from Jeff in San Diego and had...
Agree on the living trust. I did it several years ago and make changes from time to time. Don't be afraid to give stuff away while you're still...
You may want to re-check the panhard bushings. Do you have a front panhard bar as well? My roadster was very skittish before I installed one (in...
Here's mine, started 13 years ago, now with 6500 miles under its belt. Started with a 1930 Sedan. 128" wheelbase, handmade bed curved to fit the...
You need a fan shroud
Oh heck, I just found it on amazon for less than half of what I paid 15 years ago!!!
Blues4U is correct. I used a micro balloon additive for latex paint and did the underside and inside of my truck and it works great. Very cool...
I'm thinking rust from the iron air piping, too.
I think they are saying April 2019, with a backlog of parts waiting.........Probably worth the wait. Several years ago I had a bumper they chromed...
Custom how? Do you have any pictures of what you have in mind? Once you have a direction then you'll figure out what the steps are to get the...
I'm planning on bringing Little Kong, our club's TROG car.[ATTACH]
Not sure we understand your question. Are you asking how much you will spend on a car building it yourself, or are you asking how much someone...
I'm not sure we're understanding the op's question. I have 2 Model A's a roadster and a truck. They both have custom built frames which are very...
I have the Milwaukee/SWAG combo and LOVE it. Use it damn near as much as any other tool in my shop. I got the miter gauge and foot pedal and...

Thread in a piece of threaded rod. Place a socket over the rod, place 2 or 3 washers over the top of the socket and run a nut down. The socket...

Not the same as yours, but my 292 Chevy 6 has a water heated (manifold) pad under the carb. I bypassed the carb heater, and the car ran horribly....
They're called ferrules. Available at auto parts store.
Hey Drew, I don't think you have to use the mat or cloth if you are covering the form with a fabric and then coating it with resin. I've done this...
I'm having trouble understanding your post/Question. Is this a finished car, or are you trying to insure a project for a finished car's value, or...
John's Simca was before I knew him . He is building a Fiat Topolino right now.
I just talked to John Callies who owns the car those valve covers are on. His car is called the Che'Pon 557 (chevy pontiac). It is done up in a...
My friend owns the car they are on. Based on Cook's website, they must have made those for him, as well as other custom covers for familiar names....
