I think we can all identify with you. Most people miss the point of our efforts. Does anyone make any cool looking 14 inch wheels? I had...
No singles for me. Traditional or not... I prefer as much safety as I can practically incorporate into the design.
Travel limiters on the front may help as well. I like to have about two inches of slack in mine on the front of my drag vehicles. They pull...
I suppose the bigger question is what are you considering chopping? That might change peoples answers.
WA did not even do a vin check or inspection at all. Just a paperwork drill.
Here's mine... fresh out of the garage and built in less than 90 days of evenings and weekends>> chassis and drive train from a 55 studebaker...
I recently used the ITS guy. No problems at all in WA state. Beat waiting 2-3 years and wondering.
My truck did not make it... but they did honor my entry and let me and a guest in and still gave me the goodie bag. I felt it was a good bargain...
I had some db looking at the truck the other day. Leaning on the corner of the cab talking to some other db. I came out of the store about a...
Crap... ran into overheating issues on the highway. Looks like airflow disruption around the remote radiator. I got some ideas to fix it up and...
Well... made the show but not in the truck. Had some overheating issues about 20 miles out. Turned it back home and went in the new truck....
The 32 ford truck with the studebaker chassis should be there...come see the ugly for yerself ;) It's red with the gray wooden bed.
Finished mine enough to take it. Tail lights flashed at 930 pm tonight. Its had 15 miles on it since the build up. The drivetrain got me around...
Good luck! I had two of my long saved guages come up dead and need replacing at the last minute. I always go fuel cell, new fuel pump and guage...
Just sent the info... thanks!
I'm still close but not quite done. Less than 90 days from the ground up on my truck. Still need... Fans wired Tail lights wired Seats built...
Did anyone else pre-register but not get anything back? Last year I got passes a couple of weeks early... this year...nothing??? Hope they got...
Thnaks for the tip DE SOTO... I'll check with them!
I looked around over there on the truck forum... no dice. Sure would like to know if it is a process that is not safe on the axle due to...
I added info... thanks!
Does anyone know of anyone willing to drop a Studebaker axle? All the vendors I see say Ford only :confused: Thanks for any tips! Edit... It's...
I think $5k is a good goal for a running vehicle that you atually like. But it won't necessarily be pretty :) I'd rather have five $5K cars than...
I like to give the benefit of the doubt to other guys trying to build something on a tight budget. I don't automatically assume that the guy is...
I'm thrashing on my truck every chance I get to make it ready in time. I'm confident enough to have preregistered :)
I was pretty shocked at how easily a "nice" wife becomes a greedy, overspending, false-sense-of-entitlement-having HALF OWNER of your business...
That's my mentality. It kills me to see the fenders I'm not using sitting outside. I hate wasting good steel.
In that example the car had a regular column and the column outer ran through the big end of the rod. He just cut off the rod in the middle. You...
I've got a spare collapsible shaft section from an old 85 vette sitting on the shelf. I plan to integrate that for safety outside the firewall....
It was on the chassis, fairly fresh, and paid for ;)
I love the look of the studebaker and I plan to take full advantage of the closed engine bay for modern power. I call the current project...
