On my first T, I had Vega cross steer, and it was squirrelly. I tried a number of solutions, and a dead perch finally fixed it. And it rode just...
Does anyone have a hint on how an "assembled vehicle" title from another state will be treated? I'm looking at a much-modified Model T hot rod...
I am installing this same panel. The black wire is definitely a ground. Zero point 1 ohms between the ground screw on the front and this black...
Seems to me like this whole debacle opens a door to some entrepreneur who wants to pick up some valuable properties at fire-sale prices.
Well, here's an ad that lists the companies Hoffman admits to. http://www.thehoffmangroup.com/
Sorry to revive this old thread. I have a friend looking for a short set of shocks for the front of his T bucket. I wonder what the number was...
The were used on tractors, etc., well into the '70's. Not exactly the same thing, but still.
Do you think his brother now regrets all the years they didn't speak to each other?
While I don't know for sure where this is, I saw a scene virtually identical to this in the summer of 1960, in Denver, CO.
I've driven my Tub T down to temperatures lower than that. And yeah, it was cold. A "lap robe" helps a lot.
I don't suppose you'd be impressed to know I smashed my left thumb big time in the passenger door of a car just like this in about 1960, when it...
I wonder why they made the front look like the rear of a Thunderbird...
One of my friends in high school had one of these that was a real gem. I believe his was baby blue... And no, it wasn't anywhere near stock.
To show the armadillo it could be done! A rollback got my mammoth '87 Cadillac Brougham into my garage, up a steep driveway out of a narrow...
I think female mechanics are great. They have some very real advantages. They don't try to "overpower" a stubborn part. They tend to think...
Would only the geezers among us know what this gent is doing?
Maybe I haven't been around as much as I thought...or maybe I'm just oblivious, but this is the first time I've ever heard the term "poverty...
The problem with finding them in a junkyard is that the Quadrajet hasn't been made for 21 years, now. The odds are good any car you find in a...
When my wife and I had a dedicated run from Dallas to Laredo to Los Angeles to Dallas, we frequently took truckloads of parts to Laredo to go down...
An HEI distributor would be a good start. Get one from about a 1978 car. That will have a vacuum advance on it. You can get one for less than...
Great work. The photos are kind of like...I dunno, maybe, how I remember those cars in my mind's eye?
Mark Twain said no man is a complete waste; he can at least serve as a bad example.
Right next to me and a Holley!
For what it's worth, the 283 out in my garage that came out of my 1963 Impala moved that car down the road right well, and did it getting 17-20...
Depends on what you mean by "participated." I was in my teens in the 60's, and I had some exposure to hot rods. My cousin married a guy whose...
Yep, still ugly, after all these years.
The easiest thing I've ever found is ether starting fluid. Won't touch paint. By the way, that starting fluid is also the easiest, fastest way...
In the latest Texas legislature, the requirement for a front tag was missed in the regular highway reauthorization bill. Without calling a...
And I rarely see my T moving from outside of it. Funny we both made a video of the same cruise.
