To start with, disclaimers: I've done this once. This is all very experimental. If you do it wrong, you can ruin a perfectly good tire. I cannot...
I can't find anyone who has done this before me, and it seems like it would have some applications to the HAMB, so here goes: People have ground...
I agree with other people saying it's about what you want. One is hot rod material, the other is custom material.
Too cool.
Very cool.
and that's a really, really bad idea.
Jesus people will argue over anything.
Beautiful. I love that he has modern Michelins on it, too. Someone who's serious about getting the most out of a car, not running NOS or even...
Makes sense to me. so it's sort of like eliminating the h-pipe in the actual exhaust tubing.
Count me in as someone who doesn't get the science behind the volume increase. I understand the power increase from a cooler intake charge, but...
Generally, if you can't get the edges to touch or come VERY close (like, less than an 1/8th inch) it needs to be re-upholstered.
Nice car with a lot of interesting touches. Is this going to see mileage before your daughter is of age to drive? I only ask because you've...
What an engine "wants" depends on all sorts of things, when it comes to cam design. I'm a small block ford guy mostly, so I'll use what I know. At...
I think you may be confusing people by blending movies and themes with widely varying aesthetics, not to mentions ones that didn't have any hot...
I wouldn't worry too much about the effect of what unburnt fuel does in the exhaust as far as the forces it exerts on the combustion chamber...
I don't think I can personally be of any help, but it's a good cause so here's a bump. There's a very cool hand-control 51 chevy panel van with...
As long as you keep the original stuff and avoid any serious grinding/cutting/welding, I don't think HEI, TBI, or even suspension mods are outside...
Neat piece! I love all the little details.
I agree that for the younger generation (I'm 21 myself) the big chrome bumpers are part of the coolness/uniqueness of old cars, at least post-war...
Million dollar question: As someone who works in plating, do YOU think this is a process that a patient and thorough amateur/semi-pro could make...
I can't give any stories, but I'm a Torontonian too young to remember the days where a gas station would include a performance shop (at least in...
looks good! Is it complete?
Complete except for all the rare/expensive stuff. Glad it has a dash and bumper buddy, now where's the one-year air cleaner, aluminum drums, 6...
very cool! a lot of nice details to pick out.
Nice car! been following along a bit. Those heads you have, GT40s, are generally considered the best factory heads out there for SBF's. The...
may I recommend Ecomodder.com as a good site for info on general design and aero for fuel efficiency? They have people with everything from a...
bump... interesting thread idea.
I like the paint scheme on it. I'd be tempted to re-do/complete it.
What an incredible thread. The idea of this thing barrelling down a dusty east coast road, blowing past Model A's at speeds potentially even...
First step with any electrical issue like this is to make sure all your wires are plenty big, and connected tightly. Make sure your engine grounds...
