I didn't notice the fuel line had that stuff until the second time I looked at that pic. Your door panels turned out great.
Great thread. Have you found your engine and transmission yet? Perhaps military surplus is an option. Being a former Air Force guy, I know of...
Thanks for the info. Once I get mine back on the road I'll have to look them up. Saw your jag post. On slick 60's site a guy in Texas (long...
Nice truck. I like the stance. 1.5 coils did that to the front? I may have to get the name of your guy in GA once mine is back on the road.
Nitro, inspiring work. Looking forward to future updates.
Can you share a pic of one of these T-birds? Maybe a 58-60? How do you llike this book? I hear the content is good but the photos are poor quality.
Got my issue in the mail Thursday and keep coming back to your 36. Looks incredible. Do you have any build threads posted?
60 T-Bird.
Same thing with hose clamps, among other things. I was at advanced I think, and asked one of the guys working there about it and he gets some from...
I saw a malibu wagon converted into a 4 door el camino that almost 30 years ago in San Antonio. I was there for basic training in the Air Force...
Yeah, powder coating is not in the budget for this vehicle. I figured spray cans would be good for touch-up. But I am going to use a gun for the...
I just media blasted some old steel wheels for my truck. My plans for tomorrow are to wipe them down good with lacquer thinner, spray with etching...
Sounds like the septic tank is on the opposite side of the house from what used to be the garage. I woundn't want to drive over that, could lead...
Take a look at this thread. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148978&highlight=chevy+truck+clip
My dad had a 60 T-Bird when I was a kid, and those cars also had one of those surge tanks. On those cars, the top of the radiator sits low...
I was looking for the same thing around Charlotte about 5 years ago when I was rebuilding a Holley. None of the stores (Sears, Lowes, HF, etc)...
I didn't see this answered before, but if memory is working, '55 1st series was when the trucks went to an open driveline. I think the cars went...
There are supposedly a few pre 73 trucks with the 31 spline, depending on the motor and options. 6 cylinder pickups usually have 3.73 and...
Great job. I like the flake next to the non-flaked gold.
Looks good, the 292 looks great sitting in there. What did you wind up doing for the front suspension?
The 60-64 corvair sedans had a similar roof design. http://www.corvaircorsa.com/700.html Check out the bottom photo.
I agree with mrpowderkeg. If you already have a good one of either trans, use it. I seem to find the small block C6's in 70's era trucks, probably...
Since it runs good, why not keep the 6 and do a drop axle, maybe lowered springs. It might be cheaper and easier than engineering the 4 speed...
Interesting points to consider. I wonder if "Continuing Education" courses, as opposed a "Tech School" have less stringent requirements? Or some...
That would likely screw up your driveline angle. Might be easier to build a angled carb spacer. I haven't read the whole thread so it might be...
I liked that grille in the 1st post. Looks like a cool project. Off topic, but about 12 years ago I was in St Petersburg Russia for a couple of...
I went through the same thing last year on my 66. Just takes patience. Like is being said, spray them with penetrant and let soak, trying...
I forgot about this thread. The tailgate is incredible. Can't wait to see more photos.
How about keeping the straight axle and doing a drop? I'm sure there are other places, but check this out. http://www.roadsters.com/axles/ On...
Reverend Horton Heat is in Charlotte Friday night. I was planning on going to see him after the autofair on Friday.
