Thanks! I guess ball joint spacers are out then. I'll have to ask the guy making the spindles if he can still do that on a king pin setup. Is that...
I'm thinking about raising the front of my 55 Pontiac 860. Do 55 Pontiac and 55 Chevy spindles interchange? What about any of the other steering...
Anybody?
Been a while since I was around here. I have been thinking about building a 55 Pontiac old skool hot rod for my dad. He is a Star Chief sort of...
Has anyone thought about this or actually tried it? I have this wild idea to try the Mercury dash in my 56 2DHT Victoria. I love the way the merc...
looks more like a 59 pontiac grill to me....cool irregardless. I want it.
I should add that I am like most of you guys do what you want but It would suck to build a Badman replica and have some bloodsucker show up and...
The Badman model has always said Tom Daniels "BADMAN". I researched that several years ago. Does anyone have proof that the car/a car existed...
This has probably been covered. Sorry for asking again if it has. I was looking at some of my old model cars today and wondered in this world of...
Ok so I have this 56 ford project car I am doing up like a gasser. I already have all the speedway axle and frame rails I want. I have a useable...
I've seen a couple sets of these go through ebay over the past year or so. What are they? Does anyone have an old ansen catalog with them in it?...
I bought this as fitting an old Mercury engine but I want to make sure. There is a casting that says HARVEY Aluminum on the back side and a...
Thank you very much...that was someone I thought long out of business.
I have a 59 engine that uses the FE bell pattern. I'm going to run a 4 spd. I'm going to have the block sonic checked to see how far it can be...

It's a 430 Lincoln engine. Also, what is a 3/4" stroker? What does that refer to?
Any recommendations for companies who do weldup and offset grinding? Does anyone actually do real welding on cranks any more? A big name local...
I wish I more info on how to pull it off.
I love the whine of a gear drive timing set. I'd love to have one for my old lincoln engine. Does anyone know which companies I could contact who...
The truth is I don't know anything about the blank other than it's been lying on a shelf for a very long time. I am pretty sure it is a blank from...
Wonder who I need to talk to? This is a billet blank from an obscure engine of which no new, off the shelf, cams even exist today. Who does "salt...
Wrong! 50 years ago!
How do you go about hardening old billet cam blanks from 5 years ago? Some of them were pre hardened and called Endural but many are just...
Here is a pic of one of my rear wheels. I think if you had 4 14" wide wheels you might be able to build 2 that were 20 or 21" wide. It would be a...
Highboys were also used to describe straight axled gasser style street machines 25 or 30 years ago.
Yea, that what he must have done. I bet Eric could still do that. If he would try it again, I don't know. I'll be talking to him soon about some...
oops...I see they are 4" back. I don't know how he made those. He told me once about taking 4 and making 2 wide ones. I bet this is the set.
That is interesting. I have Eric do all my aluminum wheel work. I asked him one time if he could widen a slot and he told me couldn't do it...
Here is one just like it. I thought it was a racing decal but it must be something else....
I have an old decal with a black widow spider on it and the letters B.S. What company was this?
Separate names with a comma.
