I guess it depends on the car...most 30s-40s cars don't have much there to begin with, and looming the wires neatly, and using polished lines and...
A word of advice...subleasing can bite you in the ass. I subleased my shop space, and less than 2 months later the person I was subleasing from...
Del City has everything you would want, and then some.
Weber just makes them for Edelbrock (and probably just the main body)...they are a Carter AFB, with a few proprietary changes. That design isn't...
You might try Eaton Detroit Spring...they make springs for just about anything, based off the factory blueprints. They also do custom orders,...
Easy-Off may be a bit harsh...I'd try some Citri-Strip paint stripper in an inconspicuous area first. You can get it at Home Depot or most other...
If you're going for a pre-'55 look, well, that answers your question. Otherwise, if you had a flatty, I'd say paint it up nice and make a display...
'57 Belair Sport Coupe, 327/350hp, 4 speed Super T-10, 3.70s.
I see lots of people mounting them straight to sheetmetal, then wondering why they fail...put some of the rubber mounts on them, and they will...
Are you sure they are Vortec heads? Vortec heads will bolt to the block, but aren't compatible as-is with the LT1 cooling passages. You can find...
I have run them on a dozen or so cars, and never had an issue with one. As long as you're smart about mounting it (not where it gets cooked by the...
My son is 12, and loves cars...he has a '57 Chevy Belair that was mine in high school. He spent the week before Christmas with me in the shop, and...
Are you not happy with existing brushes? I'm all for do it yourself stuff, but why?
No offense, but that seems like a waste of a Corvette to me. The body wouldn't be hard to fix, and it seems to be a pretty nice car from the pics...
It may not be quite as traditional, but why not go for a centrifugal supercharger? You could keep your existing intake, do some carb mods (or go...
Pretty much all of them. They were OEM til '82. I put some on for a customer recently, and I'm pretty sure they came from O'Reilly's. For the...
If you want that to change, you need to hang a lot more than signs. Got rope?
Know what you call a Ridler contender with "a couple thousand hours in it"? A LOSER. Granted, it may be a beautiful car, but a couple thousand...
It was a Bosch system, and I'm pretty sure it was port injection, not throttle body. Its an analog system, too, which is a pain. Lots of good info...
Sorry to hear about your loss. I can relate, though fortunately my dad is still with me. I have been able to work with my dad some recently,...
Most Fords have a Traction-Lock, though it could be a Detroit Locker. Found this through a Google search:...
However you repair it, you need to grind or cut all the rust out first, or you will be doing it over. Isn't there anyone you could get to weld it...
Doh! Hmmm...if you have power windows (doubtful), you can set up a remote to lower the window...or maybe install a lock on the hood, and run a...
That was going to be my suggestion also...a double groove crank pulley (easy to find aftermarket for short waterpump if you can't find originals),...
The original pic, and another:
My dad's '60 Impala (348), back in '61. The pic is in the current "Chevrolet Runs Deep" ad campaign, thanks to the HAMB!
I have shaved handles on an OT later model project, and installed a similar setup on another that was a daily driver. The cars were both 3rd gen...
A friend of mine has a '29 A Phaeton (half-finished project)that I am trying to help him sell...wish I could keep it!
Hapy Birthday to you, and Pete and Billy! Beautiful car BTW, and how awesome to have the pics of legends like that!
You're right, they are, and they are responsible for tons of engine fires. I wouldn't use that crap on any car I build. I have seen new ones leak...
