I haven't been around the HAMB lately because the cars I am currently working on are too new, but I wanted to check in and mention about Steve's...
Got home tonight and had this email waiting: From: "RockAuto Customer Service" <service@rockauto.com> To: donshotrod Sent: Wednesday, September...
Can't wait to see you and Sue again, Steve. Just take it easy and let the Dr's do their thing. Don
Oh yeah, just "whip up a little center pivot out of a lump of aluminum bar ". Easy for you to say, Steve ! :D Glad to see you back on it, mate....
NOW I AM REALLY PISSED AT ROCK AUTO !!!!!!!!! :mad: After having me take pictures of the water pump I kept, to prove that I really sent back an...
Yeah, I realize it is a small thing, but it is the principle that matters here. Their attitude was very uncaring and not helpful at all. They...
I've just spent my last penny with Rock Auto, I am very pissed at them right now. They are fine as long as they are taking your money, and I...
I've run those on everything with zero problems. The ones on my 27 have been on the road for about 26 years, and are all over the car, front and...
That is really terrible. Prayers going out to Ron and kids. This stuff is bad enough is a full size newer car, but a roadster has almost no...
Glad to see you posting again, Steve. You must have been kicked off of Facebook again ! :p Don
Two companies that have custom made radiators for me are The Brassworks ($1000.00) and PRC (aluminum but only $ 500.00) Both did a good job and...
On wheels, Jeff, I would not do anything more, but on a body I would put sealer over the primer. Scuff, wipe down, and shoot IMO. Don
Yeah, they are noisy son of a guns for sure ! Some are more noisy than others of the same exact model for some reason. I had on on my Jeep...
I've never run one with a regulator, but I definitely always put a good electric pump rated filter BEFORE the pump. Holley pumps do not like a...
Yep, we give our customers at work surveys to fill out on how we did. Guess who always fills them out ? Yep, the guy who is not happy about...
I've been buying their "junk" for over 30 years and have probably bought a dozen sets of tires or more. Zero problems with any tire. One rim was...
I tend to overbuild everything, so we use 18 ga on floors. Don
I had a camping trailer do exactly that years ago. The bearing failed, welded itself to the spindle, and tore the end right off the spindle. The...
I had a 63 Bonneville convertible in about 65. Put a 421 cam in it, tripower off a 64 GTO, and converted it to stick shift. Loved that car and...
Where I work, we sell batteries, lead acid and absorbtive glass mat (AGM, like Optimas) There are so many advantages to AGM, like they charge up...
What is the old saying ? "There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers ?" We all started somewhere, guys, and I still ask questions that...
Ok, I'll play. Here are the 8.20's on my 27. [IMG] Don
I felt you all would want to know and be able to say a few things to Steve. He's a tough old bird, but has a heart of gold, and I am proud to...
Steve mentioned recently on here that he found out he has some cancer issues to deal with. He is a very private person, so I won't go into too...
Pittsburgh has car clubs ? I may have to move back ! :D Don
Here is one possibility, since you already have a stabilizer on it. I had one on my 27 for years, and never had any handling issues at all....
My suggestion will have some people disagreeing, but, if it were mine, I would put a SoCal stabilizer on it. Some call them a bandaid, I call...
Yep, you could either mount them to the frame or to the engine with a couple of simple adapter plates. Not bad looking and strong, I bet. Don
Too late, I got off work before you and snuck over and got it. :D Don
