It looks to be one block, but fully solid I don’t know. With my luck I’d cut it only to find it hollow.
Probably was, I needed to re-confirm my thoughts before I open up the can of worms. I’m finally ready to start in on it now!
The stance is killer looking but it’s just too low.
[ATTACH] My coupe’s wb is 122” from the factory but with the lowering blocks it has moved the rear end forward approximately 1.25”, which then...

When I bought the coupe 20+ years ago these were already in place. While it does give a beautiful stance, it’s a little too low & I need them a...
I need someone who may have knowledge on lowering blocks for the rear end. I have around 4” blocks at the rear of my coupe but the way the bottom...

[ATTACH] I’m getting tired of rattle cans to paint small parts, however they are so darn easy to use. Has anyone found an easy way to use proper...
Finished assembly & fired up the compressor a few minutes ago. I had to run the lines like I had it, although I will change those lines up to at...
Good idea & that’s what I was thinking of doing, putting the line directly to the tank & see what it does. I can always add one thing at a time...
[ATTACH] I’m wondering if the reed hitting the steel is making some of the noise this thing makes?
I too thought that when I first saw the dark lines but it doesn’t appear to be & I can’t catch a finger nail on it either. if I’m going to up...
I wiped out the cylinder walls & piston tops, they look pretty good. I also moved the crank around & really didn’t feel anything loose in the...
