SBA!!!
I like the way you roll! Great job on the car, great attention to detail, fab work. I wish I had 1/10th of your skill.
Got a pic of the back of the speedometer? Are those plastic tabs that hold it in? If so do they seem stout enough? Looking good.
Man, you guys make it look so easy! Keep up the good work!
You sir have some talent! So what's your plan with the body? Are you planning on polishing it when done or doing a brushed finish? Keep the...
Man that looks killer for rattle can!
I grew up in ND and never knew about this. Would have been cool to go check it out.
Nice job, I like the proportions on this one :D
Thanks for the tip, I'm just using some cheap small zip ties loosely so I can reroute untill I get everything in place. Then I'll finish it up....
Picked up some of the clips and they won't work in the engine bay, might be able to use them on the frame.
Glad you are happy with the outcome with the builder and he worked with you. Hope you have better luck with this one.
Yes I have come across the clips that you give the part number for. I think they will work out, I'm gona get a few from the local old parts store...
Please do post pics. I think I am also going to lace the wires with a waxed string I have that is used on aircraft wiring. I have a roll that I...
Thanks for the heads up, I already bought some from a local place.
I am curious where to get the clips? Do you have any close up pics of the clips you used? Got a link for them? Yes you need to use something...
I will update this thread and I need to start a build thread eventually. I like that it will look cleaner than the split loom (not a big fan of...
Good luck and keep us updated!
This is the type of covering I have and plan to use. http://tiewraps.com/flexo_pet.html I have a couple different sizes that should work. Is...
Nice job on the clamps. Also, is anyone covering the wires? I bought some of the weaved protective covering that when you push it together it...
I am starting to rewiring my 49' shoebox and I am wondering what everyone is using to hold the wires in the engine bay? I have thought about using...
If you look at the brake section there is like a minor and major adjustment for the shoes. Might want to give your buddy the bible to get it...
Sevenevez, the car is looking killer with it lowered. As for adjusting the brake pedal. Looking at the left pic. The bolt attatching the push rod...
Looking good coop!
Man that looks good, I think I will go with the POR 15 stuff. Looks like it did a great job.
Did you find out that the disk kit wouldn't work with the dropped spindles or just didn't want to mess with it?
So what did you end up doing for the brakes? Stock or upgrade to disks?
What about a oil drain plug gasket? Should be able to find some at any old parts store. The rubber/aluminum gasket looks promissing also.
Any new updates?
My experience with trailer tires has been that you will see environmental wear (cracking etc.) before you will wear them out. I probably put...
I wouldn't trust the HF ones. Go with the "bearing buddy" brand or another will known brand. They aren't that expensive. You just need to know...
