I really love this car that raced local to me. The car is still around but sadly was converted to a modern chassis car. It was so cool like this....
Great project. Have you made any progress on it lately? Nice fabrication work and I really like the idea of the Model A firewall. Tires and wheels...
Those are sweet. They would look amazing on a gasser of some sort. Being Canadian made makes them even cooler to me. Greg
Love model A coupes. Cool you are getting a chance to work with your Dad a bit. Looks like a fun project. Greg
Those look great. What is the gold finish on the centre sections?
I just mounted up my combo for the front of my 55' Gasser project. I picked up some old Cragar SS 15x4" wheels and some NOS Michelin 185x15...
I am trying to figure out a set of wheels just like those. They have the same look and logo. Are these indeed Crestline. That logo seems like a...
Now I know that this thread was front wheels and my previous post was about some 14x6 wheels planned to be on the front of my father in laws 56'...
Well. I thought from the earlier posts that the wheels my father in law had for his 56' Ford were the Cragar Grand Prix. I pulled them out if the...
Excelent. Thanks for the info. We were going to blast and repaint them. I am sure after going through the blast cabinet we will spot some...
My father in-law has a pair of these wheels in 14x6 he is going to use on the front of his 56' Ford Victoria gasser. We were wondering what brand...
That is a sweet car. Nice stance and proportions. Interesting hood scoops.
That 55' will make a great race car. It would not have been good for much else. Love the cragar wheels and tires for the front. If you can have...
I would imagine one wire goes to each set of points. Hopefully being new the dwell will be set up right on as is and you will just have to set the...
It is pretty simple. Just take that positive wire that went to the HEI and run it to the positive side of your external coil but through a...
Thanks for the tips. I will be sure to do my best to get the air out. I do know how it can make a huge difference. Greg
I am surprised this would still be available at GM. I would hate to have to go to a GM dealer up here in Canada for a part. Their prices are...
Right on. I didn't mean to dig up an old thread but I looked through a bunch of threads and posts only to find that everyone just posted part...
Does anybody actually have a picture of the pulleys that are needed? Is the crank pulley the same as a short chevy water pump or long? I have a...
Sweet looking car. Lovin' the black and gold color. Can't wait to see it finished. Greg
Nice Build. The hard work will all pay off soon. Keep at it. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Cheers. Greg
Yup. I know all about that. I have been collecting parts as well as have been busy making all the stuff I can for my Gasser project. I have been...
I like it. You are doing some nice work. Glad to see the young fellas with a taste for the good old days. I will be watching.
Nice work. I haven't been on the HAMB much lately but it was cool to catch up on your build here. I enjoyed your green roadster build a few years...
Hey a fellow cunuck! Yea you bet I will resurrect my post again when it is assembled and running. Knowing how how much time I find for projects...
I know it has been a long time but I finally got some time to get this manifold built. I have just been way too busy and so has my father in law....
Thanks for that info Dashman. It looks like the blower adapter plate is quite close to the right size already. Would it be possible to get your...
That looks almost exactly what I would be looking for. Your Rochester tri-power blower top is basically what I was thinking of making. The only...
I totally agree about the sbc and having only one carb with idle circuits. We will likely use three rochesters that my father in law just bought...
Have any pictures of your combos. So you ran two normal carbs with idle circuits and all on the big block. That seems like a good idea for feeding...
