I have them in a 36 ford cabriolet. I have another set that will be in a model a roadster. And yes there are hills here, you will get used to...
I run them in my car and I love them. I easily cruise from 45-80 mph in high gear. They work well with a 2 carb flathead. I run a 29" tall tire...
Another shot of how it was. [ATTACH]
Without a doubt the ultimate hot rod dash... [ATTACH]
I recently put an unused one with minor shelf wear into one of my cars, put quite a few miles on it with no issues. They are fantastic distributors
I did it, I always thought it looked good
I am running ford gears in the transmission (low first and second, wide jump to third) and it pulls from a stop plenty good enough to keep up with...
I have been running a set of 3.25s from macs in my 36 Ford for a few years and couldn't be happier. I tried a few tire combos and it seems to like...
I wanted highway speeds out of my 36 and went for a set of 3.25 gears and a 28 inch tall tire. I dont know what rpm its turning on the highway but...
I'm not sure if you can tell from the pics but originally I ran big truck pedals in my roadster with a homemade crossmember. I had intended to use...
Just stumbled on this, my first project was one of these trucks. And boy I have to say Dodge didn't give you much to work with in the style...

Thanks, the wishbone is made up of the complete front wishbone from a 33 Ford 1 ton with the perch mounts of a model A grafted on the front. The...
I forgot a pic of the engine and trans installed. Its a little tight but everything fits. [IMG]
I made my F1 crossmember bolt in without removing the center crossmember. If you are using a 59a you should have no trouble getting enough room to...
Yeah that is @thunderbirdesq 's car. It looks even better now with the blocky flames and track nose! [ATTACH]
I'd be more than happy to help on the steering, its kinda tough at first. Shoot me a pm. Very cool! Thanks for tagging me, I didnt even think...
Keep it channeled with a flathead!! Those bones are bent like that to run the spring in front of the axle with split bones. Lots of cars ran them...
Woah! Very surprised to be mentioned here! Thanks guys!
I built this crappy little car when I was 19/20. I just turned 22 and I'm in the process of making it a nice car. I hope to have it done and...
Yay Mike! I like this!
It really floors me to think of how many of these cars were actually built. I mean countless numbers of them were scrapped, raced, wrecked, and...
