283 small block Chevy engine. 2 bolt main, cast crank. I bought this for a project and decided not to use it - I assume it to be a good core for...
You guys made up my mind. It's going back in favor of P/N 65-80457 which is the basic 4160 I was trying to order in the 1st place. Thanks for the...
I ordered it from Summit, didn't realize it was set up for pollution control and had the extra ports. Guess I could try to send it back but I...
So if there's no charcoal canister, is it OK to block it? or needs to stay vented to atmosphere?
Hi guys, bought this carburetor from Summit. It's a 4160 600cfm p/n80452. I guess it has provisions to be emissions compliant which I really don't...
I installed EMS rockers as well and mine were about 1/8" too long. Heard this from a few other people as well.
If the doors sag when you open them, it's a good sign the front floor braces are no longer attached to the lower cowl (bottom A pillar).
One of my favorites.
Welcome from your neighbor in White Lake.
I asked the same question over at shoeboxford.com and someone replied they replaced it with a foam strip dipped in bitumen rubber. I guess it's...
I just lowered the roof on my '49 a few weekends ago. Took 5" out along the a pillars and 6" measured vertical out back... Here's a link to some...
Cool, thanks for the advice guys. I've got some junk doors laying around and a few sheets of 18ga so looks like I'm good to go. Figure I'll...
Hey guys, I'm finally getting to chopping my first shoebox this weekend (actually my first chop in generarl) and I'm looking for a little...
Stefan, if that's the original rust proofing, a little heat from a propane torch and a gasket scraper will go a long way... at least for the big...
Allmetal should be used as a 1st coat over a weld seam, then plastic over that. The advantage of allmetal is that it will not absorb moisture...
I agree with everyone that says pass. I bought something similar.... and now regret it. Once you get replacement rockers and 1/4 panels you'll be...
Volvo 140 steering box works great (so I hear) with a bracket from Fatman Fab. Hard to find and a little pricey I assume.
Check out shoeboxford.com, and search for paul bradley floors. There's a lot of pics there. From what I can see they look top notch, and cheaper...
That chop looks great. How many inches front and back? Getting ready to do one myself and I'd like to copy that line.
De-arching your springs will only change the free height of them, the rate will stay the same so the ride will be equivalent.
Giggidy.
From what I understand, all the 2 door front seats are interchangeable (coupe and sedan). And I think all sedans (tudor and fordor) have...
Some great work here. That's impressive.
Looks good. Can't wait to cut the lid off mine, but there's so much rust who knows when I'll get to the fun stuff!!
Welcome from another FNG shoebox owner.
Thanks for the welcome guys, especially you locals. Miller, thanks for the connection to the local chapter and Captain, I'll definately plan on...
