Pfffft.......'33 chevy coupe, not only is most of it a 1 yr car, but they had the standard and the master eagle, each with different dimensions,...
VERY cool car, good for you! You having this car probably makes your Dad just as happy as you are with it haha, which is a cool thing. And...
I really thought I had this all figured out until I met a guy on here from Pennsylvania, can't remember the car club they had out there but it was...
I think this setup would be a blast in a lighter car! Heck it's still fun in my pickup, won't exactly burn the tires off but it's no slouch.
I went through this same agonizing process, and my machinist talked me into a Max1 cam for my avatar engine because it was going in a somewhat...
Sounds like a fun project and a nice tribute to your Dad, I'd definitely follow the build thread, especially if you run a flathead. One thing...
So cool that you found your dad's coupe, I love family heirloom cars. I found this '33 5w Chevy that was purchased used by my great grandfather...
Smart move on the turnbuckles! I will be doing this to my '33 chevy coupe, same issue, wood floors were completely gone when I found the car.
Came here to check out your car, was impressed, now I'm completely fixated on your great grandfather's story and his glider, let us know if you...
Nice work as always Jim. Amazing how that hood looks like it came on that car, the upper and lower body lines specifically, which I'm guessing...
Point well made, but in their defense the latest music festival is requiring proof of a negative covid test or vax card. Pretty easy precaution,...
Great thread, I've really gone back and forth on this with my '33 chevy 5w. I met a guy that rebuilt a couple like mine, street rod, kept it all...
My Grandpa taking a nap on the coupe we've had in the family since the late '30s. Not sure when pic was taken, maybe around the early '40s. [ATTACH]
I was agonizing over cam choice for a recent BBC build, with a very specific use case (tow rig). My problem was there was no way to know for sure...
Coolest pic ever. You and I are about the same age. My grandpa would have been 99 this year, he was an awesome human being and WWII vet who...
HAHAHA that one made me laugh! Hope you have a great day Lou, and nice coupe by the way!!!!!
Good for you! Question, is a big jigger a large semi and grain trailer, I'm guessing?
When I tore into my '51 (avatar pic) with my grandpa in the '90s, he couldn't work out in the shop in the winter for very long, the cold floor was...
This is interesting, I had never heard of this. Makes sense though, the cool ground can't absorb slab heat in the summer due to the foam...
This looks great and it's what I'm considering for my coupe. Which clear did you use, and how's it holding up?
HAHA no sir, they're made to run! Man that's so badass. Mine is in an F1, so it's heavy and will never be a fast truck but I'd love to see it...
Wow I would love to ride in that thing! My machinist that did my block (balancing, boring, valve relief) was really trying to talk me into adding...
Wow those are huge numbers for a flathead, congrats. How much boost and what size crank? Considering how hard it was to make ~170 (max) on mine,...
Good question Joel. I built the headers for the 8BA in my avatar, and it was 10yrs ago but I had done some reading on this subject and I believe...
This is cool info. Makes sense.
So I'm honestly trying to understand your argument here. Pickups should not be built as a gasser? Or they can, but only if they're willys...
Last month I was looking into the option of better heads for mine, I have a set of 781 oval port heads that I was going to use. I read that you...
Just read that NHRA even had some language in the rules for gasser trucks, regarding how you can replace the bed but it has retain stock...
Here's a whole bunch of gassers back in the day, I didn't go through the whole list but I see at least 10 trucks just scanning it quickly. Mostly...
Funny because my copy of the Rodder's Journal just showed up yesterday with a feature on the Panella Brother's '41 Willys gasser truck that...
