Sipe some crosscuts in a pair of 7.00 or 7.50 truck type tires. Either straight across or at an angle. That’s exactly what the low dollar racers...
The whole setup is cludgey, but if you don’t want to move the major components to better positions, I’d suggest a heavy wall tube for the drag...
I don’t know where my friend John got his inner panels. Might even have been US Ford pieces. He had a whole pile of roadster parts to scrounge...
I remember talking with ol man Brookville at the ‘92 Nationals, asking when they were going to start making ’32 roadsters. He said it would cost...
I’ve got a Cragar that will be put together some day, so I’ll just watch this thread to see what results/recommendations you get.
How about this theme, but with a tread we could appreciate? Like Firestone Double Diamond sprint tires. It would take less tires to cover the bed.
Condition and width make all the difference. Post the sizes and more clear pics.
Back up, then pull forward.
‘56 F-100
The pressure plate has heat marks. Not really bad, but they are there. If you are in a big metro, you might have a clutch rebuilding shop that...
The ad above baffles me. It talks about adding style to the Ford for 1953. Why would some company be making accessories for a twenty year old...
A 10” flathead clutch should bolt up to all flathead flywheels with a 10” bolt pattern. Except the 8CM flywheel which probably has the diaphragm...
We always have a good time. I also found a pair of Lincoln door buttons for $10, ‘48 hubs for use with finned Buick drums for $10, a ‘32 decklid...
La Jolla is way better ;)
Interesting. I’ve seen totally chromed ones that didn’t have the stainless band, but never painted ones without. I guess I was wrong.
[ATTACH] These are my best treasures of the weekend.
Retson, your pic shows repros. Real ones aren’t held on by the center cap. They have tabs on the back that snap over the wheel center. Another...
Wuga, where’d you find the 10 lb pressure gauge?
That’s about 1937. I think most of the chalk had washed off by the time we saw a flathead.
Drum, you haven’t been in the vintage hot rod world for long, have you? That’s a Stewart Warner panel from the 50’s. Used in hundreds of hot...
Southside Obsolete has the 6 to 10 couplers. Oops, I remembered that the 32 driveshaft has a coupler built in. SO also sells a 6 spline for you...
The Sanford and Son show is funny!
Look at the super rare axle in the 32 right next to it.
My Dad used one in his 33 tudor back in the 70’s.
[ATTACH] Mokan, baby! The track announcer said they’d time my race with a sundial.
Yes. Two is easy. Firmly mounted column is required, of course. Three joints is where things get complicated.
Twenty five years ago I saw a hot rodded 32 Auburn roadster in an industrial section of Des Moines. Just sitting forlorn in a back lot. It was...
You can use the 21 rods with floating bearings on a late crank just fine. That’s the combo to use with offset grinding to stroke the Merc crank...
Same length.
I could show you some John. But I can’t sell you any. They are not near as common as oil pressures and temp gauges.
Separate names with a comma.
