Could have used that picture this spring. Bought a fairlane with a three on the tree. Quick google search has me driving it home no problem! I'm...
I've always heard to spread a 2-part glazing putty as your final coat of filler. It's not to really fill the panel, but take out any of the last...
Holy crap. What they went through for luxury! Pretty cool though.
Well I did some reading. Sounds like a factory spring is around 39" eye to eye before installed. Our spring is around 36" eye to eye. So I'm...
Hey thanks for the measurement! I'm positive the perches are too far apart now. I'm just not sure how much to narrow them. I'm leaning towards...
Log ride that car of yours is awesome!
Well house stuff has gotten in the way, but dad's been making some progress. And we've also had some setbacks. We got the front disc brakes...
I do epoxy over bare metal or filler. If the existing filler is in good shape with good adhesion and no signs of rust under it I would leave it....
In my 49 international pickup we put the pedal in a similar location to the factory pedal. Which ended up between the fuel pedal and column. On...
Crazy how well the proportions work. Neat story.
Awesome work!!! where did you fiigure out how to build the tools. Very impressive.
Stunning car! I absolutely love these old mopars.
Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking we're going to have the metal cage, but I'm not sure what the connections between the wood and metal will be. I'm...
Got a little more done. Frames out of the fixture. Getting the front rails welded up then going to get the front suspension bolted in. We were...
We hadn't stop work on this, but it slowed down. We're getting back at it now though. Got the rear axle spring mounts cut out and welded the...
Looking good so far. Your grandpa's car is definitely a good one to copy.
Great video!
Love it! Huge fan of the unibodies. That's probably the only dragster I've ever lusted over. Jeremy Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Thanks! Zombie's rendering on this is really cool. We got our work cut out for us to do it justice. Well we the wishbone bolts absolutely...
Sweet! Glad to see a crook get caught.
Wow! This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
Thanks!! I'm hoping it's going to be stout. We won't have a ton of body structure on this thing. So the frame needs to be fairly rigid. Can't park...
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check that out. Looks like there's a local chapter based out of Omaha, NE which is about 2.5 hours from us....
My favorite is "make offer. I know what it's worth so no low ballers". What the hell is that? If you know what it's worth then put a price on it.
We're still plugging away. Front spindles were rusty so I built an electrolysis bucket to clean them up. First time i've done this and thought it...
I don't know how to describe craftsmanship, but I know it when I see it. In my mind a craftsman knows how to efficiently perform work so that it...
Looks great.
Yeah, missed the firewall mounted master. Definitely sounds like the low drag caliper reading the explanation. Next question is what about the...
My first thought was using the small reservoir on the master for the front discs. So not allowing enough volume of fluid into the caliper. My...
Wow sorry to hear that. Can't imagine going through that. You planning to keep the car? If so what was your sons favorite color?
