Technical ***October 2019 Banger Thread Scary Banger Noises***

ask Montana / Wyoming about snow !~

 

Beautiful car and a great stance. Can you please describe suspension mods and tire sizes you used to achieve the lowering job without resorting to a dropped axle?

 

slow month

 

I was thinking the same thing. summer is winding down and not much going on I guess. I have been working on my 1950 Chevy and it has 2 too many cylinders for this thread. HAHA.

 

When we had 11° and snow here a week ago, I figured I better get the top done on my ccpu. Not too exciting, just re-shaping the wood to fit better, (old wood kit from the 70's) and getting new fabric over it. On the plus side, the old metal underneath looks like new after I got it cleaned up, so I'm pretty happy about that! Once I get the drafts stopped I'll start messing with the powertrain. It runs and drives fine, but I would like to raise the compression and put my other downdraft setup on it. Make it run down the road a little better.

 

I am going to do some tuning on the Heap and see what my top speed is Saturday.
I got a feeling it might break the speed limit, she runs good in the dense fall air.

 

Missed you Brian, I did a hit-and-run.
Pretty busy with work....but I did get this picked up during my hit-and-run
Model A's are too fast

 

Oh! Now I like that! ^^^^

 

Come on Larry,
don't keep us in suspense, show us the engine...

 

Collecting parts for the winter project...... 30 pickup...

 

Mechanical rework? something leaks or knocks,tear it down and fix it..body work? grind it off,do it again..Now paint is another story..shoot it and dont like it? look at it three weeks while it hardens before you sand it and do it again..that explains why most painters are goofy,and here I was thinking it was the fumes..nope,the work drives you crazy

 

Yes Larry show them your RAJO

Speed kills, Buy a T and live forever

 

No slowing down for me need to get this one put together in a year instead of 7

 

I get my middle bench seats for 20 bucks at the local pick and pull junkyard. I have found that 4inches from the first subrail cross member to the bottom of the front seat and 2inches in the back is perfect height and rake for my 55yr old big a$$ 6ft frame.

 

geo tracker , Suzuki samari , many small suv's work well …….

 

One more to get this October going on here.

Couple of questions about your coupe -great stance

17” or 18” wheels and what size tires?

What size Winfield and are you running a fuel pump? S/SR?

 

if you were in ca. , PGE would have to shut off the power lines before you could get that close . fire hazard

 

My frame is 6 years older ..Got one at picknpull,with a missing head rest and scuffed up plastic hinge covers. The young tattooed girl at the counter gives me a price,so I start into my junkyard haggle,refined by a lifetime of lowballing.She gives me a deadpan look like I'm from mars..'what are you doing? the computer sets the price,I just work here'..Goodbye,goodbye sweet America,land that I loved..never walked into a yard where I couldn't shave a buck off the price till now..

 

Railcar, did the seat go home with you?

 

Breaking the law
my old flat head 4 is running pretty good today I bet she would do 85 or better.

HeeHee-well done, Sir!

 

I got 74 out of mine a long straight stretch going to HRHC- that was at almost 6000' ft. tho...

 

That is just great!

 

74 is about 3 grand with stock drivetrain and 750-16 rear tires

Yup,couldn't pass it up even with paying full price,hell I've lowballed enough stuff for the build.

 

Got the technique right..dry coat,flash for 15 minutes,wet coat..finish prepping the body this week,will respray it next weekend.Giddy as a school girl, be driving it soon, a few more months instead of years.

 

@walls
-17” wheels. 525 front 650 rear

@V4F power lines are at average height on a telephone pole. Idk what CA does but CA has a lot of dumb rules too.
