Merc. Of course, I'm prejudiced. I had one, an ultra rare "R" code. That aside, it was a very nice driving car for such a big boat. If my...
By law, our sales tax is between 9.25-9.75 unless you're buying booze or shacking up with a hooker in a hotel room. Then it gets crazy.
I'm thinking a big, old fashioned Ford "V8" symbol tattoo'd on your chest would hide the scar nicely. Good luck on your shop hunting trip and...
Anyone running lake style headers on a flathead? I cobbled together a kit from Speedway, then bought the muffler inserts. I don't want to run an...
I'd like to hear good and bad stories on flathead lifters. I know there are some horror stories out there on Johnson style copies. There are...
I had a Lincoln that worked fine until lightning took out a lot of my equipment. After that I bought a small Miller 220V. I've used it A LOT...
From the reflection on the Shorty's panels you got her straight. That couldn't have been an east job considering all the surgery.
The cage and set back brings to mind Altereds of the 60's. Love the lightened door sills. There worth is debatable but they definitely look cool.
The primer is urethane, supposedly waterproof Nasson. Just spray bomb over it in red oxide?
I'm kind of bummed. I took my 29 roadster to my buddy's body shop to get primed, two states and 500 miles away. I brought him the primer, which...
I bought a set of Red's for another car and had no problems with either the company or the product. My engine definitely sits a little farther...
e z i; My box hits the center tube. This could be caused by either the box being farther forward or the engine being set farther back.
My A frame is set up with a 59ab so it fits under the stock hood. In other words, it's set back slightly from where a lot of A V8's are. The...
Man, you're half way through your build and I'm still dinking around putting on brake lines. You'll be going down the track about the time I get...
I remember Jack Clifford and a few others (Kay Sissell?) running Jets in the junior stock classes that were so popular back in the mid 60's....
I've seen this guy run for years. He gets everyone else's throw downs or broken parts, then builds a car for virtually nothing. Funny thing....
Just cogitating. What about a front axle out from under one of those American General mail jeeps? They're narrow and might be lighter than an...
Subscribed.
I traded into a 67 Chevelle Concours wagon. It was a high option car with a 327/275 out of New Mexico. It looked good when I traded an old Mazda...
Thanks, Dave. That's plan B. I'm trying to go very traditional pre-53. I know tube headers were around then but I used to see a lot of Fentons...
Big "Duh" on my part. It's the 29 A rpu in my avatar. The engine is a 59a. The engine has been positioned for the stock hood and radiator. The...
I know the passenger side Fenton header doesn't clear the frame but I'm betting that hasn't stopped somebody. Any pictures of frame mods where...
I recently picked up a pair of original Edmunds oval shaped air cleaners at a swap meet. These are on my 94's; mine cleaned up nicely with just...
Good photo above of you on the steps, Mike. Beer and pussy. That's what life's all about, right?
I don't want to sound like your mother telling you to eat your vegetables, but you guys remember to drink plenty of Gatorade or similar product....
They're headed home now? My bet was they'd put some stamps on the roadster and mail it back, then find the Greyhound terminal. Silver lining:...
I'm over half way building my flathead powered RPU. As anyone who's familiar with these knows, space is at a premium, especially leg room....
Hey guys, thanks a ton. Ford Mike, you ended up pretty much exactly where I've been headed. Pictures truly are worth a thousand words. The...
No on boxing the frame.
I'm mocking up my engine/trans in my A frame. 59a with 39 trans, F-1 crossmember, pedals, and master cylinder. I want to leave the stock...
