Hey Scott, I'm just curious, as a guy that has people pay me to balance stuff, what about 86 and up Chevy 350's that come with no weight on the...
Well I have ridden in Bill's T-Bag and this car. [ATTACH] So..... Take your pick. Not sure which driver is a bigger nutjob either.
I work at a machine/hot rod shop where we do all engine machine work, build engines, run them on the engine dyno if the customer wants, and plenty...
I'll be there with all my crazy friends from Missouri! Any takers on a mid 12 second drive it 350 miles to the track grudge race? Come on! I...
Thanks guys! One thing I forgot to mention is when I think I have the piece shaped right, before you put the cover on and bend the tabs back, you...
Door latch mechanism tech. I don't know about you guys, but I HATE how the door handles on these trucks are always droopy so I decided to remedy...
I got the lock working, spruced up the window regulators, rebuild the door latch mechanism on the passenger side (still need to get the drivers...
It's probably obvious to you guys by now, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order in which I am working on things. On that note,...
Yup, just money. Cool isn't cheap unfortunately.
After an old guy told me that I haven't looked at a chrome glove box door the same since! Did you make a decision on the tires yet? I kind of...
Another update, got a few things done on the F1 this weekend. Garage is totaled, tools and parts everywhere, but at least I'm making progress! I...
I had to take a razor knife and just cut the old gasket away from the glass. When enough of it was cut away, the glass came out real easy. I...
Thanks! I have come to the conclusion that there are a LOT of bolts in one of these trucks! If the front fender is completely bolted on, it's...
Well I've been hard at it and I might be driving it this winter after all! I picked up a 27 T Roadster project and there's only room for one in...
You know what the chrome glove box is for, right?
Joey! Glad you managed to work Pon-Tanic into the story, I love that car! (and the name) My first pass was in my Roadster at the HAMB Drags in...
It's more of an up and down kind of thing. The steering wheel doesn't really move, it just vibrates some. JW, the axle isn't moving but it seems...
Congrats on third place! How will you do with cool wheels and tires? Here are some pics for inspiration. [IMG] [IMG] These two are my buddy...
I mean the spring is wider than the springs on some of the other Roadsters I have been looking at. Your RPU has a dropped Super Bell Model A axle...
I will look into that for sure! I have a lot of stuff to try, you guys have to give me a minute.... I have checked the runout and the toe on the...
I don't think that's it but I can check it to be sure. I was just talking to a dirt car friend of mine and he suggested the same thing.
I have not tried to remove the panhard bar but I don't see how it would change anything as it did this before I installed it, but if I get a good...
I have run the tires as low as 20 psi and it still does it but not as bad. At 20 the tires are pretty mushy, 24 is about as low as I can go and...
Whatcha got? I'll see what brown can do for me.:)
Haha! I just noticed last winter I said I was hoping to be driving it by spring, then in the spring I said I was hoping to drive it by fall....
That thing is looking good! Newport Engineering makes a really nice wiper setup for those trucks and it is a bolt in available with 2 speed with...
Sorry, I haven't been working on the truck this summer, my stupid Roadster has been giving me the finger and since I have a one car garage.......
The bushings in the spring are all fairly new, they look odd I guess because it's a goofy setup using the 2" wide spring and the stock shackles...
That is more or less what I do, but I use the same mark on the tire for front and rear and just rotate the wheel to move the paint mark just in...
I can't believe it but the wheelbase is exactly the same on both sides. Maybe off 1/32" or so, but I would have never guessed it to be that...
