I recently softened up my front suspension and installed some Firestone ribbed bias ply tires. That ended up causing some front tire bounce at...
It'd be cool to see some pics of those different setups you mentioned. I can't get enough of the ingenuity found in the old race cars. The front...
Great thread, Roostasix! Your super is incredible. Do you by chance have a close-up picture of your front spring perch/weight jacker setup? Thanks!
I came across this site and figured I'd post it here for those interested (5 pages worth so click the buttons at the bottom to switch pages)....
You might give Old Dog Street Rods a call and see if they're selling the glass T-coupe bodies. Looks like a decent deal if you don't have the...
Finally uploaded my '08 Roundup pics. Enjoy. http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t6/henruco/Roundup%202008/
I see where you're coming from but the intent of the friction shocks is to kill the "bounciness" of the ride as the car is going down the road....
You should try flipping maybe the 2nd and 3rd leafs from the top upside down so that they're arched upward so that when you reassemble your spring...
Wow, Zach! This is one of those posts that happens every so often (like Littleman's Death's Doorstep) that is so friggin' inspiring. Aside from...
Did you by any chance have your lugs torqued by a lube shop or brake shop seeing as how it's your daily? My sister in Austin took her Toyota into...
I have the same rearend in my project. It's definitely a '56 as already mentioned. The B indicates it was built in New York (an A instead would...
You could weld some 1/4" round bar along all of the cut edges to add rigidity and to kill the sharp edges. Here's a seat I pulled out of a '60s...
I see exactly how that would work, Beemer. We considered cutting the front horns and flattening them out a little to gain some ride height which...
You're right but since these pictures my dad has bent those steering arms upward and inward a little to prevent that and to dial in the ackerman....
When the frame drops down during a bump in the road the slider will move downward and forward in that slot. I fully understand these questions...
Yeah, those spring sliders replace the shackles and are similar to what some dirt-trackers run on the rear. The only difference with these is...
Nice project, SkottyKnukkles. My dad is building an underslung from what we think is a '28 Chevy truck frame that put in some hard time as a...
Yeah, no action required as stated already. It does say to send it back though if you want to so it can be recycled and sent to others that might...
It would be kinda clean to also have the torsion arm serve as a friction shock by incorporating some friction material between the torsion arm and...
Amen, Jefe! Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbfnh1oVTk0
Aye caramba! That's them! El Chuco is actually The Chuck in Spanish. I think you need to take this car down to the '08 Roundup where it can be...
It was pretty freakin' inspiring to see your car at the show this weekend. Talk about top notch craftsmanship and ingenuity! Your decades of...
Have you considered installing a "steering quickener" but installed backward so that it acts as a "steering slower-downer"? If not, Summit Racing...
Don't give up on your idea brotherman. Trunk space is golden when road-trippin'. Check this thread out (similar to what you're trying to...
Gnarly Vans! New Vans always make me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZQwnJTPh-M
Funny, I just read about this car today on another site I frequent (thesamba.com). Here's the deal on this car and the original guy that turned...
Very cool project you got there. Here are some pics that Bishop Welding shared with me of his ex 31 Sport Coupe that he built (no longer owns it)....
Great interview and writeup, Ryan! Cole is the reason I started looking into building something from scratch after seeing his Salinas Boys bobber...
Here's a link to some info. on importing a classic or antique vehicle (also look down at the bottom under "Related Answers" for info on importing...
The boom on that tow truck is so freakin tall that maybe we can get the truck running, go pluck that hearse off the pole it sits on and make a mad...
