Aww, that's cool Riz. Sad to see you leave R&C. I think the hotrod flavor that you brought the mag is the only reason I liked it. It'll...
Looking good guys!
Hey, thanks for all of the replies, guys! It's sounding more feasible now with some availability of reverse gear options. The vw transaxle idea...
OK, so this is a really weird question, but is there a way to hook up a motorcycle engine to a car transmission? Is this done anywhere in...
Wow! You guys are a wealth of info! Living alone in the mountains like I do, I don't know what I would do for tech advice without the internet...
The '49 chevy fleetline is IFS? If so, that wouldn't work for me. Looking to use a straight axle. Bummer.
Thanks man! That's only an inch or two narrower than the stocker and should work just right for me. I want this thing LOW so if the tires are...
Hey Hack, Thanks for getting out there on the ground for me. Early no less! This is hopefully for my '33 Buick lo-budget project. It's free...
I've got a line on a '49 chevy fleetline front steering and suspension. Does anyone have one of these that could give me a backing plate to...
Hey Hack! Sorry to hear you're down, and glad to see that you're already back to being positive. Depression is a regular facet of my life that I...
At least I've got some options. This is good news! I'll have to do some homework to see if I can get disc brakes and some other parts for this...
Thanks for all of the great advice, everyone! I think I might just shop around for some '33 plates, same year as the car. Sounds like this might...
Hey Prime Mover, whatcha got? This one has a dual-leaf spring front suspension that has about 29" axle perch to axle perch on center. Sound...
That's an idea too. Then at least I'd have one to get my no front plate ticket fixed with. I wonder if I could artificially age it well enough...
Hack, I'm hoping the '33 Buick might be the same, or at least have the same spindles, as a Chevy, but I'll look into a swap if that doesn't work...
Well, only one plate would be a repro, the other is genuine so I don't know if that would be a big deal. It might be. I'd prefer early '30s...
FH, that's a great idea! I've looked at their stuff before. It just seems like no one will make parts for this axle, but you never know unless...
Hey thanks guys! I just checked out euro-sign and their plates look fantastic. Unfortunately I found this at the bottom of the page: "We do not...
I've got one good 1940 california lic plate that I'd like to use on my car but the law requires two. Does anyone reproduce the earlier style...
I'm going to try to get this car together in the next year which is going to take a hell of a lot of work. To make things even more difficult, my...
How do you get contradictions out of a bike being built out of spare parts? [img] The whole thing is just a big bucket of stuff thrown together...
this is it for now
Hey guys, thanks for all the constructive comments! We all agree that it's not cohesive in the styling dept but I'll keep hammering away at it...
Well, I agree with you guys on the headlight but not the front end. It stays. There's no way in hell I'll trade a good handling front end that...
Here it is. It's a low quality pic but you can get the general idea. I've just mocked up some of the major components, no real work has started...
Alfster, that car is bad as hell!! Do you have a website with more shots of it I can admire?
Yep, that's a '70 all right. Dead ringer for my Dad's sitting out in the driveway. It's going to be for sale too. [img]
Pete your little Duck is the balls! I LOVE it! From the front fender stays, wire laced wheels on back to the dual megs, just awesome. Not to...
Bones that little sporty is just sweet! One of the best deals going too at that price. It's a great platform to build whatever style bobber you...
Greyhound! I'll give them a call. Thanks!
