Bicycle talk-ish: A crew of Amish guys just replaced my roof and siding. I’ve spent a lot of time talking with them. I called one of the guys...
Is flooding normal for the area? We camped at the foot of the Austin dam, but that flooded due to poor infrastructure, not weather. Beautiful...
Can you buy back the totalled cars?
Question on the bike. That's a crazy small front sprocket. What is the function of the bike?
Ryan, damn man. Hope insurance covered that. If you need anything just ask. Ed
How much was damaged by the flood?
Beanscoot shared with me that SKF N1444SA throwout bearing has the correct ID for the T170 RTS bearing retainer and fits with the early Ford setup.
Thanks for the replies and PM's. Sounds like sleeving the bearing retainer is the way to go.
Digging up an old thread. What did you guys use for the throwout bearing? Or did you sleeve the bearing retainer and use the old Ford setup?
Hello Tuck. I love old roadsters and 28/29 are my favoritest. I ran into Jeff Yeagle at a swap meet this weekend and we got to talking about...
Amazing work! Did you just use a router to cut steel? Is that a thing that people do?
Excellent idea on the dolly to safely tip the body over! As another non-rotisserie owning guy, I will have to borrow that one! Where does the...
Yeah man! Hope this new phase brings out your creative output! So jealous of your shop. My meager 1400 sqft seems so small!

Tuck, those wheels look fucking amazing. I zoomed in and those pop. You are a much better painter than me and your color choice is spot on. Are...

I think you're fine with your rear suspension mount. Look at aftermarket frames and how they connect to ladder bars with small diameter round...
I missed your post before I made mine. The SBC is a great choice. They're cheap to build, it doesn't take much to make them rip, you can make...
I have a 28/29 project going on 32 rails courtesy of parts from Irontrap. Fortune shined upon me and I live a short drive from them. Very...
Tangentially related to your thread.. Tim Horton the hockey player tragically died 50 years ago last Wednesday. He was 40-something and a beat up...
Been a long time since I read about the Roach Rod. The HAMB was a whole lot more punk rock back then. Sam, never met ya (wrong coast!) but I...
My nice weather daily driver 70 Skylark has the original 350. It runs great, has plenty of power and torque, even with the factory 2bbl. Not...

Holy blast from the past. It was fun watching you build this car, Rich! Whatcha working on now? ed
Mifflinburg! spent a weekend there last year. Cool little town with way more to do and see than we expected. Of course you have to stop at Rusty...
Man, beautiful that you get your kids involved! I work with my boy a lot and it’s a struggle to keep him engaged. Ed
