Bump.
Up top.
BTT.
Late 50s-early 60s dash mounted record player, decent condition, wiring pigtail included. I'll even throw in the record that's in it. No...
Thanks. It's Inca Gold metallic pearl, single stage urethane from a local Sherwin Williams supply store. While it looks great in photos I'm not...
Can someone tell me what the 3 small holes in the center of the dash were used for? I assume one would be for the carb choke cable but the other...
I would respectfully disagree. Break-in is not the time to try and save 10 or 15 bucks, you should have the best stuff you can get in it when it...
Wix filter and Brad Penn oil. If not BP then Driven.
I rarely post anything, but got around to finishing the very first part of my 37 Chevy truck project and thought I'd share a little bit. Decided...
Saw this one at an auction a while back.
Since the windshield regulator is not reproduced for a 1937 Chevy truck (and pretty pricey for an original) I'm looking for a cheap way to keep...
Well, after 3 years of collecting parts my '37 truck still sits on the shop floor. Around 80 or 90% there material wise, just have to find time...
I find it really hard to believe valve springs from back in the day could handle 7-8K rpms. A lot of wishful boasting by some people. I've seen...
Ran Vortec for years on my circle track race engines. We were limited to a .480-lift solid flat tapped cam, right in the sweet spot for Vortecs...
I would think at over 13:1 with iron heads it will need more octane than what E85 will have. If I remember right E85 is about 105, I would shoot...
Dang! How many engines you guys got under the benches? I like the idea of the laser deal to get the lines straight. Looks awesome!
Please don't use a bolt to mount the balancer. You can usually rent a tool from the local name brand parts store, most times for free. If it...
I have personally seen rod bolts stamped "APR 8740". They couldn't even get three letters right. How is it you say Buyer Beware in Latin?
Stock 283 rods are only 1.875 inches long?
Throw me in the mix. I'm gathering parts (about 80% there) and getting ready to build a '37 Chevy truck with a 400 Pontiac. It's going to be...
I had the same thing happen to me in a o/t truck. It cost me $900 for the rebuild and it works OK now, but completely blows as a mild performance...
We use Time-Sert products at the shop I work at and have zero issues. When installed correctly and using the correct torque for the bolt size the...
Probably one of the worst sounding headers ever. Nothing sounds as good as a nice 4-into-1 header with the right length collector.
The Vortecs can be drilled to match the old intake pattern. We use a BHJ fixture at our shop to do this. A machine should charge around $50-75...
Cast iron stitch pins. I wouldn't weld or epoxy a crack. Easy to do since the engine's out of the car.
Absolutely use Brad Penn racing oil, 10w-30 in colder months, 20w-50 in summer. If not Brad Penn, then Pennzoil GT racing oil.
Me too. Cowl steering with a recess for the pitman or a sheet metal blister covering the pitman always looks badass. I just got my first real...
Come on fella's, he got it out 4 days ago......
Probably one the best looking front wheels EVER.
High strung or not, his posts have --character--. The world needs some more of that, everyone's way too serious.
Separate names with a comma.
