Excellent! That rear axle is great for keeping both wheels flat. We spend a lot of time working on the suspension geometry and calculating the...
Charles, It brings me much joy to see these pictures and read the specific history of the frame! I moved on from Coachsmithing in October of...
SOLD.
$600 takes it all. I need the room.
Too many projects, so I need to unload these blowers (8 of them). I have 6v-71, 6v-92, 8v-71, and 8v-92 blowers. $100 each for the cores, local...
I like the cowbell under the front axle. I appears that having enough "ballast" (people) in the back seat is the key. With just a driver I doubt...
I've been digitizing my grandfather's 8mm home movies (6.5 hours worth) to save them for future generations. I found this in a reel from the 1951...
We're working hard to finish this car by 7/18. I believe our client has an event he'd like to take it to around then. Not sure we'll make that...
Gary, From what I've been told... the Tojeiro frame (and De Dion tube axle) were originally built by John Tojeiro and never finished as a car. I...
Yes. The front is quite wide. The front suspension and steering was taken from a Jaguar XJ-40, and it has the same steering (stop to stop) as...
I have a stack of V-series blower cores. $200 each. All need to be rebuild/converted. None of them have front covers. I WILL INCLUDE THE...
Most of these pictures are just coming up as thumbnails. I'd love to see bigger pictures of that body work.
Thanks. The boss was just telling me this past week that many people can do an 80% job on a project, but it is the last 20% that differentiates...
From what I understand, our client has a letter from John Tojeiro requesting that this unfinished frame be completed as an American version....
And finally...
Even more pictures...
More pictures...
Here are some pictures of the completed chassis. The various skin parts are made and now will be assembled on hinged front and rear clip frames.
Car is a '29 Ford -- no fenders. I'm building a custom back end -- body will be 51" wide at the axle. Wheels are zero offset 6x15. I'm going to...
I've been told that the easy way to put a Ford 9" under a hot rod is to get an "early" Econoline rear with a significant differential offset, cut...
Why are the shaft seals necessary if sealed bearings are used? Will the internal pressure push grease out of the bearings (especially on the...
It was an online auction, and I've been bidding for 3 weeks. 15 minutes to go and I was starting choir practice at my daughters' high school. I...
I think I can do better than double. :p
$171.59 for all nine of them at a local diesel tech school. :eek: That's $19.07 each. :D 5 -- 8V-71 (for Mercedes V8 projects at work and home)...
I should update the thread to say that all of our build components have been selected and prepared. Gear box is a Muncie M22 (replica by Auto...
After months of mocking up and fitting every component we finished up the frame and painted it. It is painted British Racing Green (a tribute to...
I rebuilt the distributor (which was siezed in advance), and I hope it won't happen again because there is more air flow around it with the...
Both of the cars we have right now supposedly had original bodies. When we got them they were in various stages of "restoration", but some of the...
Thanks for the link! Our client sent us this steering wheel. Because all of our builds are commissioned we finish the cars according to the...
Well, it starts easy and idles smoothly, but I have not had the opportunity to actually take it out on the road other than pulling it out of the...
