I thought that one had a 5.4 Ford quad cam engine in it. Maybe Im wrong!
If it was my decision, I would go for a Jaguar front end and steering. (I already apologize to the traditionalist, but the Jag front ends tend to...
And if you want to take the "not at all traditional, but Im sick of my bum sticking to the vinyl seats" option, I see there are electric air con...
Dayum guy, we should all save this thread, and then if we have a crappy day, we can have a reread of it and life will be great again. I doff my...
It was 1977, and I had just got my first job. I had no money, no tools and no car building skills at all. I did have a space in my dads 3 car shed...
Oh Hell Yes - that the standard answer if anyone asks if you need a Hemi in your car. Thats just how the world rotates. and its not like you can...
I had a 48 Chev pickup and wanted a decent towbar set up (but wasnt so keen to pay retail for a new one) I ended up at the wreckers and bought...
One that got away. I decided to do some "adulting" so sold it to cover off some business risk I thought we had (cash was king) Turned out the...
Probably Australian Its right hook (RHD) its running a Ford engine and its got guards. And those trees look like gumtrees which infest Oz.
And another bucket from New Zealand. Won best hot rod at the NZHRA National Show in about 2000.[ATTACH]
We were doing a bunch of shop tours back in late January, as part of a group from New Zealand who had traveled to the GNRS. During our time at...
Those Kangaroos were too hard for the Australians to catch so they put a bounty on them, and, faster than a diarrhea attack, 500,000 Kiwis had...
But apart from that, are they pretty okay?
Blown altereds have a long and much loved history of dodgy handling. Well the vast majority of them in any case. When I look at the front end...
Having taken a perfectly good BBC street bucket and changed it into a 9 second street legal race car (and then snotting it into the concrete wall...
Very nice. And heres a NZ based A tudor, which met up with a man with great skills, and came out as a South Pacific A400 [ATTACH]
Awesome! So are you a real short fella, or do you have mad skills and the most clever floor, pedals and seating arrangement known to mankind -...
Once the Model A guys all removed their A surrounds, and replaced them with 32 surrounds, nobody realised that the Model T types would hoard the A...
I bought this intake set up about a year ago (despite not owning a SBC), because I love it. I guess I will have to do another car so it gets used....
Well, yeah, I do sit and admire my projects. (I call it pre-living the experience) And When they become finished cars, I drive through town and...
Is it just me, or do others also think they are too heavy in "the nose"? Just an observation
[ATTACH] A better pikky of the EFI set up
If you lack the electronic smarts to do the job, then its best to go down the "get the experts involved" path. Price will blow out, but at least...
I was surprised that almost ever 32 (apart from a couple at the end) rode on Halibrand type rims. Most I have seen on here seem to be steel rims...
Actually bought it online, tho I have no real use for it. I reckon its a thing of great beauty, so buying it anytime is 100% acceptable[ATTACH]
I thought so. I saw a similar year but very tidy woodie at GNRS earlier this year for sale for US$120,000 from memory. I figured that means that...
Lifes a shit sammich sometimes, and guess what? Its lunchtime
[ATTACH] I pinched the pikky from a couple of pages back, but I have to say, (in my opinion) I dont think you can get a more perfect Model A RPU....
I first saw a pikky of this in a Peterson Publishing "booklet" in the 70s and thought it was way cool. We did our first ever visit to the GNRS...
I think they called us Australians just to wind us up. And I suspect that when the Aussies turn up, they call them Kiwis :-) Our worldwide hot...
