Thanks all... this has given me some great ideas! I can try the rims by swapping front to back to see if anything changes (wouldn't go away, but...
I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas here... this one's got me stumped. I have a '63 Fairlane Wagon, 260 V-8, originally had the BW T85 w/OD...
If your tire is relatively new, it has a date code on it... if it's too old to have a date code on it, then it's too old to be safe, and you are...
Old tires can be scary and dangerous. Every tire has a date code on it... make sure you figure yours out and know how old they are. Here's a...
SPAL here as well... nothing but good to say. I've used them on several cars now, and currently have two 12" fans keeping my '35 cool. I was out...
Indeed a small world, and thanks!
Hey, that's me! Pretty neat to do a search on the hamb and stumble across a post about your own car :D
Maybe it doesn't need mentioning, but if you want to be sure you're system is leak free, make sure you run a positive pressure test (using...
For those of you with mismatched fuel gauges and senders, have you seen this little gem?.......
I am staggeringly bad at painting, as I have recently discovered when attempting to paint my car (it's about a 50/50 split between quality of the...
My '35 has Fat Man narrowed control arms on a Nova sub, 15x7 wheels and 205/65-15 Silvertowns. My wheels sit noticably further in than yours show...
Done it a couple times... regretted it every time.
+2 on Bill's. Solved the same problem for my '35 Ford with one of their kits (mine had to high-mount alt, a/c and include ps as well with...
This thread is why I'll never post a "build thread" here. I enjoy the HAMB, but really don't enjoy all the bashing that goes on. I love this...
I got a Derale PN 13021 thermal fan switch from Summit. Goes inline next to your cooler. And then got a small SPAL fan mounted on the cooler....
Looks like 35/36 but it had something extra bolted to it (bumper guards, aftermarket lights, etc.). That would explain the extra holes.
Ole Red, I wish I could tell you, but I think you all know why I can't. I'll post some design detail here, and by this time tomorrow they'll be a...
No, we (Victor) don't mold our own o-rings, but we do have to carefully spec them out, the compounds and hardness chosen and tested to meet UL,...
No politics from me... I think it's great. I wish more companies had the ability to do the very same thing. Sadly, many that would even want to...
Age: 42 Car: '35
Jack, good to hear you want genuine parts. These soft goods are often very specific compounds that have to go through a ton of qualification...
Purox stuff is still around, so there might be hope for that one. You can try contacting one of the torch repair houses around and see if they...
OK, not sure how bad you want to pursue this, but I found something that might be of some use. Doubt it... but if you really want to get this...
I'm afraid you may be SOL. It's not a Harris, Victor, Smith or Airco (Airco is 3 seat tip mix like this, but the angle is different), nor anyone...
CIG is still around in Australia - they are now Cigweld, part of the Victor Technologies family. CIG and BOC are separate companies now, with...
Got me curious, so I did some digging... It looks like Victor private branded for Sears in the mid to late 1970s. There may have been other...
Post some pics and any numbers you can find on it, and maybe I can help figure it out. Also, your head seal may just be wore out and in need of a...
That's a crappy reason to have to sell such a great car. I'm in!
Always into cars since I was a little kid... as a stupid idiot teenager I wanted a "hot rod"... bought a piece of crap because I buy with emotion...
To each his/her own. I have the utmost respect for any nice ride out there, whether original or not... but for me personally, there's just...
