Great story so far! Love it!
I know what you mean. I've seen a couple (in pieces, of course, and I'm not sure of the years) I was told there was two types of the early oakland...
Wow. I'd have a hard time sleeping until the day i got to test it at the strip if I was you. Beautiful car Rusty. When I hear Gasser, I think of...
Not cool man. Not everyone on EI is sucking at the government teat. Them's fightin' words.
I have spent about as much time sitting in it as I have working on it. I've done every sketch for the car while in it with a clipboard and a...
Got two more weeks of funemployment before the new gig starts, so right now I'm the boss. Hambing and pluggin' away at the car has been like a...
Not at a show or anything, But I was at a family gathering @ my grandparent's farm over the weekend (where I'm building my car), and my cousin's...
Welcome from Manitoba!
IMHO Seems you've gotten yourself into a bit of a pickle. You could have done something easier like unbolting the front assembly off an Astro van,...
Here's mine; '27 model T coupe on a custom frame (not boxed yet) and '30 Dodge DC drive train. Check out my mad drawing skills, lol [IMG]...
Sorry to hear about your T-bird. It's a shame that people have the nerve to steal something like that. Makes me sad for you, and sad for the state...
Wow, these are freaking awesome... but it's getting me worried about the bullshit stories that this thing will attract in a open wheeled T.......
That's my new personal favorite! lol
Ok, now this is interesting to see, usually I'll see a rod get thrown through the pan or something.... Can I get some details on the motor and...
I am loving this thread. That car is a nice slice of Americana. Glad to see it survived the years, and is going to be back on the track soon. Best...
That's a helluva nice slice of paradise you've built for yourself!
Well I guess he was wrong, which unfortunately in turn makes me wrong. I don't like this.... :( But now I know.
Zipperlock quanset style buildings are super cheap in comparison, are zero maintenance, I have been toying with the idea of building a shop and a...
If it's the same cowl style, or year, the fronts should match. One of the doors off my coupe is from a 4 door, I was told when I bought it...
Are a set of 18 x 3.62 Wide Fives hard to find?
I keep all my receipts, make blueprints of things I've modified, ideas, drawings, hours invested. All of this is with the intention of properly...
The DC body is a future project for when I've improved the quality of my work, and once I've decided on exactly what I'll do with it. That or I'll...
Well I guess it's about time I put a little more up on here, so I figure since I've finally decided what I'm getting done to the motor over the...
You know, I just ran across this today, but a friend of mine has a motorhome on what I believe to be a '75 ish Dodge Chassis, and I out of...
With it boxed on the outside, I wanted to make it apparent that this is a fabricated frame unlike most others who use tubing. I want it to have a...
I'd believe it.
I think Outlaw sprint cars use the same sort of quick change gears I'm thinking of, and that's exactly what you're thinking about. The neck on my...
Thanks for the help and the comments! I am already getting ready to send off my engine off to the machine shop, I suppose I could talk to them...
I am using a '30 Dodge DC spiral bevel diff on my current project with a 4.6 to 1 gear ratio. Any way to change the gears in it to lower my ratio,...
I guess I should post the fact before anyone says anything; It's not going to be a rat, this is a budget beginning to the build, and I am doing...
