Its time for the second annual Git Down at Hala Kahiki, presented by the BLACKWALLS. This year featuring music from the Cocktail Preachers....
The Git Down at Hala Kahiki, October 20th. Its shaping up to be real nice show. [IMG]
Less than 2 weeks away! We're getting some great positive feedback, sounds like the turnout should be pretty good! Its a big lot though, so plenty...
Presenting the inaugural Git Down at Hala Kahiki, presented by the BLACKWALLS. Car show for 1964 and older traditional hot rods & customs (&...
Due to a schedule conflict that arose at Chef Shangri La, this event is moving down the road a bit to Hala Kahiki in River Grove. I'll start a new...
Definitely go easy on the Fong's if you're bringing a car to the show!
John, when you get the Merc done you should do a hang/cruise with me and Alex (Brokenpress). There's not a hell of a lot of "traditional" stuff...
Fuel pressure 3.5 psi. Higher than ideal, but that shouldn't be too bad, right?
Thanks for the input everyone. The seemingly random nature of this problem has been frustrating. Plan of attack: 1. Check fuel pressure 2. Clean...
The carb is rebuilt, and has very low miles (~350 over 2 months), so hopefully the seals aren't degrading already. The needle is the proper kind,...
Needle and seat are fine. Fuel pressure is a good question, but its just the stock pump not an electric.
I'm having an intermittent stumble/stall problem during acceleration, along with idle problems. Usually the car idles fine, and will accelerate...
Colani's website puts the year as 1974 (http://www.colani.de/, look under "Werk") Still freakin' cool though.
I used part number BK 6551022. Biggest difference from the 6551020 is the shaft diameter, 1/4" versus 5/16".
Looks like there was a pre-existing crack. Note what appears to be rust on the fracture surface in the second photo. That is quite possibly due to...
Bump for the daytime crowd, anyone else attempted this?
Not quite sure what you mean by "lower recess", but overall it sounds like the same problem I'm having. Need to rotate the caliper bracket, but...
Anyone done the Jamco front disc brake conversion on a 49-53 ford with dropped spindles? Their website says it works, but I can't get it to,...
A quick update for those that have this bookmarked. When doing the Ford 8"/Maverick swap, the u-joint you want is in fact the 210-2173. This...
I knew this would show up here sooner or later. The cryogenic treatment industry is about 98% snake oil. Terry, the HAMB metallurgist, just...
I'll see if I can shed any more light on some of these questions. Can the HAZ be altered enough to matter - absolutely. Think of it this way:...
As 38Chevy454 said, the primary advantage to rolled threads is in fatigue. The handbook I have here has a table of fatigue stress concentration...
I just ran accross the following the other day doing some unrelated etymological research: "On October 25, 2005, our contributor Kaz Vorpal...
Same thing here. I can't believe its been nearly 4 months. We'll get this going again soon.
I've ordered small quantities of spring steel before from Admiral Steel (admiralsteel.com). I see 0.020x1/4" in their catalog, seems like it...
It all depends on the type of stainless steels used. In general 300 series stainless will be lower strength, but these alloys can be cold worked...
Thanks for the feedback everyone. As Terry mentioned, we are already planning to address these questions at a later time. I know this post was a...
This is the first of a planned series Ive been working on together with Terry (38Chevy454), the official HAMB metallurgist, on the fundamentals...
If you really think you need a steel with chrome, then 316's a great one since it has up to about 18% chrome. A "shitload" of chrome is usually...
