I found this, is it possible this is the original Hi-Po distributor? Not really sure. It doesn't seem to have the vacuum bit or anything.[ATTACH]...
This verifies the heads are HiPo as well as far as I can tell, I read online that the 2 dots over the 289 mean hipo, as well as the 21 that's cast...
I think I'm gonna go to the swap meet at Lone Star Park on March 30-31st. I'm new to all this, do the vendors sometimes allow trades of parts? I...
My grandpa says he found a 3.25 gear ratio ring and pinion for our 9", and he found a guy that could probably restore our C4 transmission for...
Yeah, that makes sense. Would save me the trouble of having them taped off to paint, too. I'll look into it :) Wouldn't that add a bit of...
I dunno, maybe. Have to ask my grandpa. It's not up in Dallas where I am.
Depends. If they're worth something significant to someone, maybe pass them on and get smoothies or something, but I'll probably clean them up and...
Oops. Still learning haha
That's it! Thanks so much :) I found a thread here:...
Hello, I'm making a Model A hot rod and I found some old rims around back of my grandfather's house while looking for parts that fell off. He says...
What a pretty car :) this is about the color scheme I was gonna go for, just with a much more vibrant green, at least on my screen. Something like...
[ATTACH] Found some wheels that might be cleaned up so I could use them, since I'm gonna be sandblasting loads of parts anyways. Could anyone...
Unfortunately, as I'm still going through high school, I don't have the spare cash to spend on stuff like that :) most of everything I've done so...
I don't know too much about the engine, I don't have the experience. Anything you guys could tell me about it would be appreciated. I'm planning...
I don't have a radiator yet, but seems like I'll have clearance issues. Any advice you can provide would be appreciated.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
The transmission is a C4 I think, not 100%. I replied to someone else with a photo of the transmission in this thread if you can tell. I'm fairly...
I have a few photos, I'm not down there now so I'm just working with what I do have on my phone. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Confirmed the engine is from a 1965 Mustang, not a 1966. Also confirmed it is a hipo by the thicker caps. Took...
Hello, I am restoring a hot rodded Model A Coupe from 1931 for my grandfather and am selling NOS parts for it. Stuff like sparkplug wires, or...
[ATTACH]
I've had the fenders blasted, they were Swiss cheese but I laid down fiberglass and short strand above that, so it should be good now. They're...
He said that when he sold the car, he swapped the manifold and the carb out for a 2bbl as part of the deal. I'll have to track down a 4 barrel...
I'd be happy to put you two in touch if you'd like :) I'm a little new to the site but I'm sure I can figure out the private message system. What...
Perhaps the previous owner did modify it and didn't share the info, I'll try to get in contact with him.
I'm located in southwest Texas, an hour or two away from San Antonio. I'll try to figure out how to add the location.
My grandfather actually started on the frame, I finished it up :) didn't want to get into too much detail. I'll try to find the proper place to...
Unfortunately, I don't know of many near me, much less ones that I'll have time to go meet. I'm busy this whole summer, sadly.
That's a beautiful color, but I was thinking maybe a couple shades darker :) it's very close though, and that's what I meant with the patterning,...
Ah! So yours will be very similar to mine, mine will just have maybe... (googling) 50 more HP, about. How does it ride?
I have the front and rear fenders on standby, I'm actually getting them blasted this week. I believe I don't have the cowl lights anywhere, so I'm...
