I think like others said you will get a better picture when the car is complete and the actual weight is sitting on it. Leaf springs can be...
Hmm, if I put a padlock on my tarp does that count? :D
I used to have 21st century for all my cars, was with them for more than a decade. One renewal cycle I noticed there was no liability card for my...
I put in a mechanical gauge in addition to the stock gauge and it also had a huge probe. What I did is put a 1/2" Tee in the heater hose and the...
yea, looks like an interesting ride for sure but the moderators are strict about the model years.. even newer engines in old cars are frowned upon
Yes that's what I was looking at too!! I have a '39 which my wife bought for me 4-5 years ago , but I've just been too busy... the only movement...
Exactly.. I was looking the places up on Google to figure out whether they were bars or otherwise. I figured probably the original poster would...
Hi Mark, This is great! Thanks for setting this up. I'm glad it is family friendly - my almost-3yr old son loves cars, tools, anything mechanical,...
Last year there was a pretty detailed calendar of events. I brought my kids and while planning my days, a lot of the places did not list whether...
Few years back, Top Notch Burger was one of the not-on-congress places to go
While we're still fresh let me be the first to start a breakdown thread :) I'm about 1 hr southeast of Austin , not close to any freeways so...
You might want to try Lockhart as well - a little farther but you can shoot right up the 130 to Austin with a whopping 85 mph speed limit! :D
I used Moog 5270, they are long and soft. Then you can cut them down to get the ride height you want.
Didn't you say you were going to get Aerostar springs? I know that's a popular swap but I looked at the specs and they are quite stiff compared to...
Is clunker referring to the car or the camera? :p
Maybe I should bring my '59 Edsel... I tried to bring it for the last 2 years. 2014 it wasn't ready yet. 2015 I had it running and driving, even...
Hey !!! I saw your update roll in on the email on my phone and never did have a chance to sit down and write a chance. Now a guy has to get up at...
We're moving! I bought some cargo containers for storage. The Edsel was the first to go in of course - keep the sun, rain and the goats off of it....
It's been a very rainy day, I guess a shop is a good place for the car at the moment.
One time I needed a vacuum check valve for my o/t van. The parts goes goes oh you know that just to keep the vacuum in the engine. I said no it...
Good luck! Sounds like you're in good hands but if you end up being stuck you can give me a call 512-213-5234 I live about 1hr from Austin I...
I don't know why tapatalk notified me of this thread seeing that it's years old. Unless it can read my mind. I was eyeing a 1955 Ford F-500. I...
I always heard ATF + acetone. I have an old air cooled twin turbo V12 diesel engine which wouldn't turn. I tooked up the 24V starter to my welder...
It would be cool to try a Moog 8166 that one is even softer at 280 lb/in
Looks great! Basically that's the inverse of the paint scheme my car has. Which reminds me, now I'm wondering what's next - Windshield wipers...
All the info is at: http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/Universal_Coil_Springs.asp I compared my springs to "stock replacement" and aerostar...
Man that's a gorgeous ride! I still have <ahem> some work to do before mine looks like that! I don't know why y'all keep thinking I want to lower...
I haven't taken it out of the shop yet, just finished buttoning it back up. Let me see if I can get one inside..
..and completely in "cosmetics salesman" tradition I took that last picture with a $3000 camera instead of a $200 camera :D
Just to illustrate the progress, I went back through my pictures and picked the different iterations in the process. Initially I had the rack...
