Thanks for the reply, 56. Do you remember which site that was or how one deals with flash chromed stainless? Jeff Sent from my SM-G935T using...
Hey guys, Was at a buddies today and he was about to start polishing the stainless grill on his business coupe. Well we determined it wasn't...
That's some outside the box thinking! I love it! Sent from my SM-G935T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hey gang, I found a great source for pre-bent tubing. I was searching for tighter CLR bent tubing to complete my driveshaft loop. I found it in...
Thank, steinauge. The painted floor is the key, it makes it so easy to sweep. I used the Rustoleum brand of 2 part floor paint (not the smelly...
I'm not sure, can one skip right to the serious enthusiast category? I do TRY to plan with lists and looking ahead tho. To be honest I'm mostly...
Thanks for the kind words guys. As for the shop, I assure you, 90% of the time it doesn't look like this. I will clean it up when it's time to...
A milestone, maybe not, but it feels like one to me. I just got into the rolling chassis stage. I have had several classic cars in the past, but...
Thanks for responding, Nobby. Yes to 11", but I'm pretty sure I'm going with Wilwood discs at this point. One of the backing plates is bent...
No burr, all holes are clean and all measurements consistent. Interestingly tho, I just checked the backing plates, they DO measure 3.336 exactly....
Here is something interesting, the axle flange guide we all see when Googled says the small Ford bolt pattern is 3.375" Wilwoods website shows it...
I have arranged for a street rod shop to jig it up to determine straightness and will determine the course of action to take.. Pretty certain new...

Believe me, I've checked and rechecked. I'm telling ya, albatross. [IMG] Sent from my SM-G935T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
This is my first ground up project so I've got nothing in the memory banks to pull from, that's why you guys are such a great help to us! The...
Was told it was from a '57 Ranch Wagon. As you can see, the dimension is 3.325". It is the correct 2" the other way. Bearing is 2.835" O.D.,...
I have just removed the retainers and bearings from the axles. It appears that there is some damage from over zealous maintenance. I should...
Hey all, Trying to wrap my head around flange offset. I know what it is and how it's measured. Problem: I would like to change it to a more...
Thank you for taking the time to reply guys. Just to clarify a few things: Any yoke will bolt up, spline count wise. The four digit #s (1310,...
Thanks for your offers, going to hold out for a cable unit (if I can). Lots of great info, bookmarked your blog link. Gonna have to check it out...
Good points. The motor is in it's mounts and the rear is bolted to the four link, if the tailshaft swap doesn't change the length I just might...
Hi all, I've got a few T5 and 9"questions I am hoping you might consider responding to. 9" in question is a '57 Ranch Wagon model. Question is,...
Update: Hey guys, I decided to return the speedway parts and get different rod ends. I went with stainless again tho, Art Morrison supplied 3/4-16...
Yup, mocked at height with correct pinion angle, will have threaded rod ends. No kit, but will not build in any other adjustability. I have seen...
As I understand it, there is a trade off between hooking up and wheel hop under braking. Sent from my SM-G935T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I just did some checking, and it DOES make a difference. A 2 degree difference. Sent from my SM-G935T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Hey all, I know tri-link has been covered in multiple threads, and I have read and researched. It's enough to make your head spin, but I thought...
Hi, It needs rocker work, but the body is nice and straight. I'm going to keep things pretty simple, just a bumperless rear with a rolled pan. If...
Thanks for all your input guys. Valuable info, a lot to think about. Starting to lean towards the DOM. Got me thinking about those Speedway...
Useful info, thanks for sharing.
