I'll be following too.
Oops, I guess he did both sides. Disregard
Surprised no one noticed that the backing plate is on the wrong side. The one in the pic is for the left side and it's on the right side. Short...
I use them too. Much better looking than regular clamps. A little lacquer thinner and the lettering wipes right off.
X2 on Duffin Engine Service. They just did some work for me. Perfect work and a quick turn around. Bill
Here is my little granddog Chopper. Spent a lot of time with me. Loves to watch out the drivers window. Also gone now. Miss him ridding with me.
Try Amsco-Pyndus Steel. They have cold rolled at very reasonable prices. 1219 N San Jacinto St San Antonio, TX 78207 (210) 735-9266 BC

A little trick I use is to put studs in the bell housing trans bolt holes. They guide the trans straight in. Once it's in, pull the studs one at...
I'll be flying out. Would love to join up with Don in Oklahoma with my hemi roadster, but I won't able to make it. Bill
Look at Wagner part# 112311 Fits a Ford Granada. That's what is on my '32 Bill
I'm using a modified 318 Mopar distributor. But being a electronics geek, I'm using a '76 GM 4 pin ignition module to trigger the coil. I like...
Does anyone have an idea where I should put my temp sender on my '55 331? It has a chevy water pump conversion. Right now it's in the water...
I was in a salvage yard today here in San Antonio and saw a '53 Ford car with a complete flathead, missing only the carb. $500 for the engine....
I see no way that adding oil holes could hurt anything. Just not necessary.
The machine shop that resized and rebushed my 331 Hemi rods said that oil holes are not needed. I too thought holes would be a good idea. There...
I got mine from Tanks Inc. They have different pressure pumps for carbs to EFI. Bill
Brookville calls them trunk drains. I believe their part number is B169TD. Check out Ebay item # 270775787568. Bill
Here are pics of the parts I bought from Brookville. Mirror images of each other.
Has anyone installed the trunk water drains that Brookville sells for their roadster? I'm trying to install mine, but they don't seem to fit....
1604 and Kyle Seal NW SA 32 Ford Roadster in progress
Excellent! Gives me some ideas.
A couple of things. First I couldn't find an original frame, so I had one built with a 2" stretch because I knew I was going to use a Hemi....
Excellent work. Nice metal work
Thanks for all the nice comments. It's .030 over because of light rust in the cylinders. Yes, it will have a BBC water pump. Good catch on...
Thanks I didn't open the push rod holes. Everything clears.
It's a '55 331 .030 over with 392 valves. Mild cam. Nothing special. Just going to be a nice driver for my '32 Ford roadster. It's got a...
I thought I'd share a few pics of my Hemi build.
