Day still going well. Only been an hour since last post and I now have a lower cowl. Something bad is going to happen!!
Day 7 on the old crap bird. Bodged up the rear of the cab. Suicided the doors. Toshed in a rear corner and some floor. Running out of tin. So that...
Hi Guys. Here's the skinny. Took a pile of old crap that was in the shed and bodged together. Started with a Bedford[GM to you] ice cream van and...
I picked the truck up half built in the UK. Problem was the 168 tooth flex plate. The 9 tooth starter would not mesh with it. The numbers I ran...
Hi guys. Still arsing about with this odd ball flex plate. Its a Ford 289 onto a C6 box. Given up trying to find a starter. So do you know if a...
Its 168. Some 460s ran them and I think 68 Galaxy ran a small block with C6 and 168 teeth. Its a cock but will measure registry hole in the morning.
Hi guys, may have posted this before. I have a 302 sbf with a C6 behind it and a 168 tooth flex plate. It has the old cheese wedge inertia starter...
I can beat that? Piece of piss.
You didn't really say what you wanted to see. 20.000 photos of boredom. It would be like the old days with a slide show. So a few from the Faroe...
Hell. Nobody drives a hotrod further than me!!
Just a few photos from last years road trip to Iceland. France to the UK over to Holland, through Germany and Denmark. Ferry to Faroe Islands then...
Cool. See you in August?
I thought about that. As the index plate was thinner than the one one mine. So I spaced it out and that made no difference. 148 teeth also. There...
The starter that came with it was a Lester 17 part no E25F-11131-AA. But both lugs that bolt it to the box where broken. I took the starter off my...
Hi I have a 302 sb Ford with a C6 behind it. Of unknown year or car. Probably be a bitza. Counted the teeth on the flex plate which came up with...
Ok. I will apolagize now. This has nothing to do with traditional customs. The coupe has not progressed as I went for a drive in my old 40. First...
Thanks Erik. Here's another Warsaw Poland .I have 1,000s of them from my travels. Really must sit down one day and write a book. Will try and put...
Here's a picture of my old roadster when I decided I wanted to have a drive about the planet. In the middle of Siberia heading down to Mongolia...
Hi Erik. Its not as hard as you think. Fuel wasn't a scarce as you are told and for me seemed to be ok. But I did fit a 35 gallon tank,plus a...
I pie cut the body from front to rear. So didn't pinch the rails. A lot of work and then the screen didn't fit. You live and learn.
Here's a couple more. 1 up in Sweden a few years ago now when it was still "clean". The other in France a couple of years back. All ready, I hope,...
Here's mine. Not really a trad rod and not as clean as some of the others on here. But my daily/parts chaser/works truck.Knocked it together 12...
Sorry tail board didn't load
Well as a hot rodder I am the ultimate recycler. Plus I haven't got enough things to do with my time as it is. So with the back of the cab. I made...
It just morphed into a 3 window,was going for 5. I know how to weld but i'm still learning on the wheel. I put a curve into each piece but haven't...
Well the week has gone better than expected. After taking the advice given. The roof has been on and off,sail panel changed ,trunk drip rail and...
And this
Just found these. A bit arse about face. I know. But this is what I started with.
Well its been a hell of a day. Took the grinder to the roof for a de-crown it, didn't like it. Rolled a roof with a lower profile. Didn't like...
Thanks for the feedback guys. I wouldn't shoot any of you down. Because sometimes it just takes another set of eyes. Your close James D. But going...
