Are you planning on reusing them? Or is it a big stuck together rusted mess? You have the style where a bolt goes through some rubber washers...
Also, you should get a book or two on the topic, they will help a lot. Tex Smith's Hot Rod Chassis and Larry O'Toole's Street Rod Engineering are...
I'm inclined to agree Chris. It looks like someone was trying to save money using scrapends. But just like with plumbing, every joint is one more...
My memory's a bit fuzzy since it was a decade ago, but I seem to remember we made our own speedo cable with a kit from Lokar(?) to hook a C6 to a...

Awesome, thanks, man! That helps a lot. Take care!
Bare metal beauty *drool*!
Hey Squirrel, I'm mainly interested in the height, since I don't know how much room will be taken up by the rubber pads (or how much they will...
I'll bet, lol. No, I was hoping maybe someone had a a build in progress that was still in bare frame phase so it would be easy to do. If not,...
Hey all, could anyone give me the dimensions on the bracket that bolts to the frame on a 58 Chevy 3100, that the radiator core support sits on top...
Looking good, Roadsterguy! I missed this thread back in July, so I'm late to the party with a couple of pics of the 29 RPU my brother and I put...
No worries, I was mainly just getting a feel for how much engine bay space a small block will take up. I wasn't going to make any real...
That was what I was kind of thinking, since I did find a couple of pics of GMC cross members that looked a lot closer to what I have...
Hey all, I have a question about the frame of my 1958 3100. The front radiator support cross member doesn't look like the one in my 55-59 service...
This is an awesome build thread, Black Sheep. I am sorry about your brother. It hit me hard, because my brother and I are just starting to work on...
Maybe not HAMB related, but I love the craftsmanship anyway!
We tried making our own English wheel awhile back. Spent a lot of time and money and frustration, and in the end we just went and bought the HF...
We found a pile of castings and hardware on the side of the road in South Park, WA, with a "free" sign on top. Immediately recognized it as a...
Thanks for the replies, guys! I picked up a taper roller bearing set, so I'll give the new races a test fit. And I do have a micrometer, but I...
Checked out the spindles on my Apache while looking at refreshing the drums. The bearings are the old ball bearing type, and it looks to me like...
Hey all, this isn't technically an introduction post, since we've posted on the HAMB on and off for over a decade. But since the Busch brothers...

Looks like a fun time, wish we could have made it! Freaking work :(

hello, I'm trying to figure out if anything is wrong with my motor- I'm finally around to tearing it down, installing a new cam and trying to get...
nope- never resolved :( As it sits now, HEI is in, new module cap and rotor- didn't fix it, old points distributor didn't change anything....
thanks all- I have tried another timing light, same exact readings. So yes, with 12 initial, the reading tops out at about 20 degrees, even at...
