Looks like 4 of 5 have been found, but the '28 Harley JD is still missing....
I had a similar issue years ago on an o/t vehicle with 4 wheel drums. turned out to be too little clearance in my m/c pushrod, and then after...
Thanks for the feedback. It looks like my best bet is to use an adapter, in the interest of safety. Having the tire a bit further out from the...
Oh, ok. Thanks. My drums have kind of a bell shape around the axle flange, which is why I'm concerned about support for the wheel. There's enough...
Hello Group. I'm using Ford 16x4 steel wheels on my A coupe, and will order new axles for my 8 inch rear to match the 5x5.5 bolt pattern of the...
I like your bike. I didn't mean to insult you, so I'm glad you didn't take it as such.That said, there's, "traditional" there's, "proportional"...
Stock wheelbase for A's was 103.5 or thereabouts. A bunch have been built on a B chassis, at 106 or 106.5. They look good, and give a little more...
The blue roadster was in a book that came out several years ago, "The All-American Hot Rod" I think it was. The car was restored to it's previous...
They don't really fit that well. It will look like you cut corners.
tTt. Good luck with your search!
We always pick a few tags off of the Christmas trees at the mall or one of the big box stores. (NOT Wal-Mart. I fucking HATE Wal-Mart) You know,...
I'll be there. Heading up Friday night.
A lot of the stuff I see on here makes me kinda self-consious about my own work, and inspires me to try harder. But not these:)
[ATTACH] This one was the original wheel in the '41 chevy truck my great-grandfather bought new. My dad had it on his garage wall for years, and I...
Looks like it's on '32 rails, so it should be about a 106" wheelbase. Maybe he lengthened it 2.5", and you mis heard him? Posted from the TJJ...
I've seen 15 year old cars in worse shape! NICE find. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
I hadn't seen this thread before. Well done, getting the car back. Hope to be in the same boat one day! Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
[ATTACH] Here's my 1951 2R5. All original, converted to 12 volts. My grandpa bought it in '60 or '61. It was my first car!

Looks like a pushrod defect. How are they made?
Could the rocker shaft be bent? I had an O.T. 4-popper once that ran fine for a long time, and then one day broke a rocker arm. Turns out that the...
I think you're going to have to pick either "works better" or "looks cooler". You won't get both.

It's not one of those that takes a roll of T.P., is it? (Not trying to be funny- I've really heard of those!)
Looks great! You should be proud!
I tend to go through the same thing from time to time. Best to just take a break for a while. If this is your hobby, and not your day job, it's...
Nice truck! We don't see many of the commercial rigs around anymore:(
I'm not sure that's true. Without Henry Ford, just as without WWII; we would not have hot rods as we now know them. I think we would still have...
I just watched a four-part series with Billy Connely, (sp.?) where he rode his VW powered trike from Chi to LA on Rte. 66. Good show, entertaining...
Hopefully your gauges, stereo, etc. will be ok. Electronics don't usually suffer water. As to the upholstery, well...... You probably ought to...
