Great seeing you for a second! Bummed I didn't get a chance to catch up. Hope to see you around soon
Does anyone have a good phone number for Jim at Bubba’s? Emailed but no reply and the phone number on his site is no longer valid. Sent from my...
The real bummer about how this all played out is that George passed just a couple years before Skonzakes and didn’t get to see the GS again....
Watching the auction live now. Anyone know when they’re scheduled to go up? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Would love to see side by side pics of the first and second version of the Golden Sahara. I think Jim was involved in both builds. Anyone know the...
With this being Barris' 53 Lincoln, the original engine would be a 317 Lincoln Y Block. Can anyone read the script on the valve covers? There were...
Can someone post results from the drags? Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Mine was pretty gutless with the stock single barrel. A dual carb intake and headers would definitely help. Sent from my iPhone using The...
I had a '62 as well that I bought from the original owner. Here's a pic after being rebuilt. The front hole was plugged on mine and the rear went...
SOLD - Nice condition early Mallory Double Life distributor for small block Chevy. Part no YC-310-HP. Complete with used cap, rotor points and...
Does anyone know of a good pinstriper near Paso Robles? Thanks, Shane
Is it visible from inside the engine compartment? Is it centered over the front axle or in front of/behind it? On the top of the frame rail or on...
I know about the plate in the glove box, but does anyone know where ford stamped the frame vin number on a 1962 f-100??? thanks, shane
How bout some econoline interiors? these things are huge inside. forget the mini bar. you can have a full blown tiki bar with a casino, rotary...
Got it figured out. When I reassembled it, one brush hung up and didn't completely seat. i barely touched it with a probe through the slot on the...
I don't know yet how it'll run with the dual carbs. i need to get one more carb, linkage, and headers before switching over from the stock set up....
i had a lot of trouble with the lever style too. kept having to adjust it. added a regular two wire inline (just looked through a book at napa,...
update: I pulled the cover off of the voltage regulator. the thing looks brand new. no fouling, corrosion. it's beautiful. With the engine off,...
I thought about the same thing. It's hot right now! anything that will hold ice, and take air from outside, cause it to flow over the...
I'm a sucker for copper and wanted a copper color but the rattle can choices were limited. I finally found some rustoleum American Accents craft &...
Thanks for the tip. I flashed the field wire with the other one that the manual said to touch it to to set polarity, fired it up again and the...
I just got my rebuilt ford 223 running in my 62 f100. I rebuilt the generator (replaced everything). I don't have a guage, just the gen light on...
After two years of being down (cracked head going up the grade by paso), I fired up the rebuilt 223 in my 62 f100 longbed stepside. engine is...
We just picked up this '57 Jewel. need to be completely torn apart and redone. gonna rip into it this month. [IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG][IMG]
My crank was bad and I had to get another one. Now I need another set of main bearings for my 223 ford six, and most places are around $120. Then...
Art is my great uncle. He's a great guy with a lot of great stories. His book is a must for sprint car enthusiasts. Shane
Sounds like you might have "work hardened" the third hole. It's all about speeds & feeds. If your drill bit speed was good, and your feed rate...
I think I saw Clark Kent changing in that thing.
Since the 215 and 223 are in the same family, the intake and exhaust manifolds should work on either, but verify it with clifford before buying. I...
Clifford also makes a nice split header so you can run dual exhuast. That would take care of the crappy stock exhaust manifold problem. Not to...
