I just kept adding to mine for rigidity. It needs to be stiff up and down as well as side to side. If the rollers walk forward or backward it...
I need to use a pressure type pre lube system to make sure all parts are lubricated prior to starting my engine that has been sitting for several...
Yep, that's pre-floorboards
Mine is not the most robustly built of all the ones I have seen here and other places but I can still put my assembled MGB on it (about 2,000 lbs)...
Thanks. I'll have a look next weekend.
Does anyone know if there are longer e brake cables/housings that will fit into '88 and later C4 Corvette calipers? I would rather not have to buy...
Next time you are at Costco grab some of the separators between layers of paper towels or toilet paper on the pallets. It makes great material for...
Thanks
I used the 12v HF winch motor. The hand control converts easily to a foot control. If you use a 15 tooth sprocket on the winch and a 48 tooth on...
Looks aside, electric fans make more sense than engine driven mechanical fans. Fans create additional airflow through the radiator. You need...
Along the same lines as Jogyver's swing away slip roll stand, I made a rolling stand for my 4' brake. To keep it from moving and tipping over when...
I would use an OEM fan rather than one of the aftermarket ones. The Ford Taurus has a great reputation for a good reason. Another fan similar to...
Thank you however, that one of yours is much better executed. Mine has been sort of an evolutionary process over the past 8 or 9 years and it...
I used a HF 12v winch motor and geared it with a 15 tooth sprocket on the cable reel (1 1/4" bore) and a 48 tooth on the roller shaft. It turns at...
I tried the sand blast route, it worked but is really slow and leaves an eneven edge. I would recommend the Rotozip with a 40 grit diamond bit -...
Do you have any more pictures of the T roadster? I like the look.
If you only build an engine once in a while and you don't like the tiny 8" degree wheels or you don't want to spend the big bucks for a large...
I worked at Bill Hays' shop in Midway City when he was doing the electronic ignition conversions in the early 70's. One day Joe came in with a '57...
I have 2 5/8" (2 5/8" hole) and 5" (4 5/8" hole) Autometer gauges. I layed it out using cardboard cutouts of the faces taped to the panel until I...
I want to wrinkle finish my dash but the spray cans always seem to produce uneven texture. I would like to use my spray gun because of the wider...
This place is definitely the best bang for the buck and worth the drive fron north county. Make a list of what you need first. I bought a small...
I did something similar although mine is also motor powered. The winch motor I used has a release that lets the reel freewheel so you can pull...

A few things: It's made from an MGB roadster It's been widened 11" It has C4 Corvette suspension It has a custom windshield made from '67 Impala...
All it tells me is that I'm going to try the Envirobase PPG paint when the time comes. Sounds like it's pretty hard to screw up.
There is a good article in the latest Rod & Custom on the subject. Charlie Hutton (of Coddington and Foose fame) demos the PPG Envirobase and has...
Now that is pretty damn clever!
Just an idea you might want to consider - I used to have a steering wheel on the gear end that I was able to use by dis engaging the spool on the...
Check here http://forum.britishv8.org/list.php?2 and here http://www.mgexperience.net/phorum/list.php?40 There are hundreds if not thousands...
Very nice! Do you have a site with more detail on the bead roller?
