They look close. These don't have holes for the center caps and the brand isn't cast into the wheel, but as scrapiron said they could be from a...
Ah, so do they need something to fill the notches when bolted to the wheels? Are they unilug even though they're only drilled for a single pattern?
If I can find somewhere open tomorrow I'll see if they can pop them off for me. Think the tires are with anything? The tread is still good, but...
Picked up a set of slot wheels last night and it turns out they are 2 pairs. One pair is Superior Industries 15x6.75, the others have no...
No idea yet. My car is 4 lug. I got these because they seemed like a steal at the time. I was planning on taking the rear out of mine, radius the...
Picked these up the other day after work and finally gave them the look-over I should have given them before I bought them. They appear to be...
Picked my 62 up Earlier this month. It's far from "right", but for $500… This thread is awesome. So much inspiration.
The guy finally sent me the tag information. All I can tell is it's an open 3.00 gear. Do the numbers mean anything to you guys? [ATTACH]
The website is saying "starting at $895". Where did you find the $700 deal?
Ah, I see your point(s). I'm glad I asked before I made the drive. Looks like I'll put that money into my welder fund instead. I appreciate all...
I'd like to keep the drums out back to stay somewhat true to the period. The car will be under 3000lbs so it should have plenty of brake,...
It's all new to me. The car will have a straight axle up front, 10pt cage, FE big block with 500hp and a 4spd top loader. It will be mostly a...
the 1/4s will be radiused to follow the 60s gasser style. Work won't be started for a while. Right now I'm just shopping for deals on stuff I'll...
What would be worth using? The carrier and housing? I know aftermarket carriers cost 10x more than this entire rear. Would it be worth it to use...

From what I've read, shorten the tubes and get custom length axles. I'm completely new to this stuff, however.
Wanting to put a 9" under my '62 Falcon and one popped up a couple hours from me. I've read the truck rear ends are more sought after but can't...
Before I bought the car I was thinking about buying a decent little welder and a vice-mounted bead roller to make my own floors and door panels....
Was able to get under the car finally. The previous owner mentioned a half-asses fix on the floor pans. Looks like they laid a flat sheet of...
Ive wanted to build a car since before I could drive, but only recently have I finally bought a house and have a 2 car garage all to myself (no...
Just found this article from Hot Rod. Completely forgot I'd read it before when I went to look at that thunderbird. 500hp 500tq from a stroked...
I'll do some reading tonight when I get home. Any tips on a manual for the 390?
Brand loyalty is what got me into this falcon. The first car I called on was a 56 Buick coupe, but it didn't have a motor. Turns out Buick...
I've only found a handful of threads talking about 400+hp with a 302 and most mention the need for deep pockets or a different engine. The car...
I'm looking at $1500 for a 10pt mild steel cage and subframe connectors. Probably over 2k if I have him fix the floors, rocker and quarter at the...
That's what the 10pt cage is for. Bars coming out of the firewall and attaching to the front rails and a crossbar under the core support. Unless...
I'll look into the 302. Seems like it would be more budget friendly with their abundance. My last car before married life was a '14 Mustang GT...
Oh I've seen what goes wrong when people cut first and ask questions later. Until I get to that point I'll just be doing small stuff like...
I thought they were externally the same? The engine bay apparently has mounts for a 289, but I'm aiming for about 350-400hp to the wheels,...
I got the hot rod bug when I agreed to store my buddy's recent purchase - a 1971 Jaguar with a 351C. Then we got pregnant, so the motorcycles had...
