Oh no!☹️
Sorry for the delay but if you haven’t already done so, lube up the bolts holding the rag joint and the upper clamp. Does your coupling have a...
Happy birthday to you. I hope you have many,many more. I really appreciate your contributions. Cheers.
It’s steering! Why would you want to drive it before you fix it? 36roadster is right, the steering won’t feel good but it’s still sorta connected...
Yeah, it should be fine. You’re only going to use the internal parts from the HQ coupler but the outside shell is the same as your Chevy so the...
Nope. Only basic tools needed. You are only going to use the internals of the Holden part. The steering will feel a lot better when you’ve fixed it
Gotta admit never thought of Rare Spares. Good one.
I don’t think Bursons, Repco etc would have one. You may have to scour wreckers to find one. When I located one I had to buy the whole shaft from...
What he said!! I rebuilt my coupler with HQ one. Just make sure you regularly grease the coupling and don’t let the coupling dry out.
I hear what you’re saying but here in Oz, that same 12 gallons of fuel will cost me about $100.00 so it does come into consideration. Not saying I...
For me, the destination is a secondary consideration. I’ll go to car show, cruise in, cars & coffee whatever. I just want to drive the car,...
My 61 Belair was Dads car and I inherited it when he passed in 2000, which means I’ve had it almost as long as he had it but he put way more miles...
Very cool that you got the magazine. Very nice car too!
Seatbelts??! We don’t need no stinking seatbelts!!
Maybe a good time to update to an aluminium powerglide?
Great looking project. Hopefully we’ll get to follow along as he gets it back on the road.
Very, very nice truck! Hope you get plenty of smiles to the miles.
Hi Harleyv89, from memory, I don’t think anything is missing but there is a little ball end on the “z” shaped bar that fits into the die cast...
Seriously, can you turn the page in your Dad Joke book?
Great to see ( hear) you getting back into it! Not commenting on your life, enough said already. Look forward to following along with your...
I’m just south of Sydney. Who you looking for?
Very sorry to hear this. Never met the man, didn’t know him personally, but always found his posts, regardless of the subject, interesting,...
I’ll be following along. Very cool looking car.
You really need to express your feelings about things more. I feel your holding something back.
Why can’t I see Swi66 pictures anymore
Hi @guthriesmith , gotta say a huge thanks for sharing all the great pics and your trip with us. Yamba has been on my bucket list but I always...
I’ve not used a “no name” kit myself but I scored a free 600 cfm edelbrock from a friend who, after “overhauling” the carb twice with kits from...
I im with Texas John. I’m a car guy. Like all kinds of stuff. I guess not just cars. If it has an internal combustion engine and it’s interesting...
I’ve used the internal resistor coil on my beast for a good while now and had no issues. It’s not a daily driver car so maybe it’s just not ready...
Hi again, if you look real close you’ll see a zero sorta in the middle of the timing tab. To the left of that zero ( counter clockwise) there is...
