Great guy.[ATTACH]
Two words: heated seats. I have forced air heat (from engine coolant) in my roadster but in an open car at 80 mph it just blows away. I put in...
The coupe is looking good. Its always a big moment when the body and chassis are married back together. It suddenly becomes a car again. I...
Are these American TTO's? Which sizes? Yes Crusty Chevy, American Racing Torque Thrust. 15"x5" front (with 155/80R15) and 15"x7" rear (with...
My co-pilot from the trip to Bonneville Speed-week this past August just sent me a few shots from our trip. I thought I would share here since I...
Mine on the salt last week for speed week. Drove out with the Rolling Bones. The coupe had 400 miles on the odo when I left and it racked up...
Thanks Norris. I tried to do it as if the second owner had finished it in 1964 /65. I put in 1964 T-bird seats front and rear, vintage VDO...
[ATTACH] I just got done with my initial test drive of my '40 coupe. Paperwork shows that it was bought from the original owner in 1963 and...
THE SHORT, SHORT TRAILER. Here is my '37 Chevy with our teardrop trailer. I've had the car for decades but we only got the trailer a couple...
So sad to hear this. I have known Stewart since the mid 90s. Always quick with a smile and a great story. One of my favorite people to see...
Here's my '37 sedan. I got it on the road 25 years ago to haul the three kids around and it has been great transportation ever since. The...
On the first photo, what is mounted on the front fender between the headlight and the grille?
If you are anywhere near Flint MI area, I will bring over a 40 for you to look at tomorrow or you could come to my place and see two. Both have...
The wood blocks are tapered and provided good support for a long section of the floor. Are you thinking just round urethane bump stops at the...
I have been caught several times in the rain in my roadster, just part of the open air package. I frequently don't even bother to put the top up....
Fantastic book, one of my favorites. The writing is done well but the studio shots of the clay models are worth the cover price all by themselves.
The Ford in the video is a '41. The tell is the hood trim which is wider than the '40 trim. Otherwise the trucks are almost the same although...
[ATTACH] Moriarity, it seems that you have at least two of all the good stuff! This fender cover is my favorite. I started my career at AC...
Thanks for the information Speed-on. The tray is metal with enamel.
[ATTACH] Looks like this is the right thread to answer a question for me. I found this Stewart Warner branded tray a couple years ago. Thought...
Mine. Look changes with different light sources as mentioned in the OP. Looks good in all light except with a flash: nasty baby blue...[ATTACH]
Thanks t-rod
Truck is coming along great! Any chance that you could post the part numbers for the Flywheel, Clutch, Pressure Plate and Throw-out Bearing that...
Take a look at the headlight trim in the video. The deluxe actually has what looks like chromed standard trim ring and parking light. I wonder...
Post up as much on the TKO 5 speed install that you can. It may be a little OT, but that is what I plan to do on my coupe project this summer...
1.21 gigawatts. Great Scott!
Congrats Jeff and everyone involved in the build. Well deserved as the car is a knock out.
[ATTACH] The only thing worse than getting rained on while you are out in your '40 is not being out in your '40.
One more tonight; shot even closer to home. A couple of us 40s that happen to meet up behind the Hot Dog Stand during Flint's Back to the Bricks...
