Here’s a few I’ve installed/used. Top one not painted yet, but might leave as is. Bottom pic was one I trimmed both ears off and used a lower alt...
FWIW, I really like the FlowKooler hi-vol pumps. Little pricier, but really work.
Last two zips I whacked both ears off, cleaned up the castings and installed with the alts on lower mounts. Both were nitpicky as the Vega boxes...
Just letting my lil pea brain grind on multicarb ideas for the roadster project. The Tripower pieces assembly has been moving along nicely but...
Bump
For my buddy, it was today. I think I’m sadder to see it going, going, gone…than he is. [ATTACH]
Arguably the epitome of what a ‘hot rod’ is, but also they are great for rippin around and takin in the sights and sounds around you. [ATTACH]...
You might want to check out the thread by Baron called; ‘Another Deuce Rdstr project’. He just finished a blown sbc in a 32 roadster and did a...
I will usually hit the powder/paint/chrome stage after I’ve fully built the car. Build it, blow it apart and then do the powder/paint/chrome. Then...
Looks like you are starting with a CSRM frame from the brothers. Nice. They are great to deal with and do great work. Only couple things I’d...
Lots to see west of the Rockies. And oh yeah, I’m a lot closer to 50 than 80. [ATTACH]
Hey Ryan, you may as well change your title to ‘engine’ from ‘motor’ since we all started chirping about our favorite engine(s). If you meant to...
Ok, that’s an easy one. Drive it. Cruise the strip like you did when you were a kid. Drive it to a burger joint for a double cheeseburger and...
This is a great topic. I’ve always been a contrarian so the more I see the trailer brigade ruling our hobby, the more I’ve just wanted to build...
Comin back in my garage (on this build anyway). :p At least at this point. [ATTACH]
If you ever move the tank rearward and then run the fuel line down the frame, I would highly recommend using a canister fuel filter as close to...
Getting ready for upholstery and decided to build a luggage/package tray (nix the back seat) in my Tudor project. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Looking at the receipts on BaT, the car was originally set up with a Vega box and then it appears the previous owner ‘upgraded’ to a Unisteer half...
Many journeys are just making someone else’s hotrod/streetrod your own. Most cars we hot rod to our tastes were someone else’s ‘vision’ not too...
Great score for the $. I must admit I was watching the sale on BaT. I see you’ve already changed up the steering wheel, but if I were the winning...
Eric is still narrowing wheels. He did a set for me this past summer. Don’t have a ton of miles on em yet, but welds look great and are holding...
Just looked at a pic of your car. My two cents (based on ‘stockness’ and 65 hp) is to pop for diamondback auburns. Much more than everyday...
This set up is a 235/75r15 tire on an 8” halibrand. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Stockers…crowned. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It’s pretty easy to spend 60-80k in parts to build a 32 roadster, and that’s using a brookville body. If you don’t have time to search/find great...
Around here there are so many bald guys driving convertibles that my daughters were horrified when I got one. ‘Daddy please sell that thing. We...
Ever wonder what the results might be if the cars were entered anonymously? Logistically impossible, but imagine that pressure gone from the...
Probably a bunch of underlying factors (boredom, space, color, etc), but for me it just boils down to “if someone wants it more than I do”.
Look similar/same as the rotors in the SoCal and Roadster Supply fake Buick kits. Says 10.75” x 0.81” slotted rotors. Put some SuperStoppers on...
Saw a video with the girl that the car was built for and she says she’s gonna drive the wheels off it. If that’s the case, and I believe it is,...
