Unfortunately, that is what NAPA and most of the other parts houses call them.
Has anyone weighed a stock model A front and rear? What are the weights? I am curious how much different the stock front end weighs vs a...
I am confused, the original question was about an Iron Duke swap and yet most of the responses concern the Chevy 153 engine. They are NOT the...

Went to the Goodguys show in Nashville yesterday. Great show! Cold and rainy at the beginning but still worth the money. My friend enjoyed the...
Just before I was getting ready to replace the top wood on my coupe I happened to watch one of the DIY TV shows. They were making a curved top...
Friends aren't "car people" and I have to rely on them for a ride. That's the only reason the 35 min. is an issue. Guess I'll go whatever it...

Here ya' go.
The thing that amazed me was how well it holds tacks and screws. If you have to take one out and reuse the hole it's almost as tight the second...
If you are talking about the short pieces up between the bows where the insert goes, yes and no. I put them in place full size (1-1/2 -ish) and...
