I always like to start with simple stuff. Check that the fan is blowing, or drawing, air through the rad. If that’s okay, let it cool down, top up...
As strange as it may sound, the “high flow water pump” may be your problem. If the coolant doesn’t spend enough time in the radiator, it will not...
Excellent job. Another masterpiece in the works!
If there is pressure on the pin it could jam it in. Try loosening the master to relieve pressure on the pin. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Jimmy six has the right idea. The OE's used steel line for years. The only problem was rust. I ran mine in one piece from the trans to the rad,...
I hope 68 F100s & 86 944s are the next big things, then I can sell them & buy a deuce, finally. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I just found this one. Great job!!! I love these little cars when they are done right. Yours is. I am subscribed. Looking forward to more.
Like so many others have said, I have no idea how I have missed this thread. I just spent a few hours going through what you have done so far....
Often wondered what happened to that body. Glad to see it fell into the right hands. Excellent work and great progress. Subscribed and looking...
Not many T - top wagons out there though.
That is one sexy looking watercraft. I have been looking at old boats lately, and that one sure is sweet, no matter who built it. I can understand...
A sad day for us. Thanks for the years of entertainment Mr. Jenkins.
That is some good stance. My '68 has 225/70/15 on 7s up front, 255/70 on 8s out back. Still have to sort final height when it is back together....
Looks like you've been thinking about it more than all day. You must have been thinking about it when you laid our the louvers. That will look...
And there are the cycle fenders. Was that car ever black with flames or scallops? I see you had responded on the other deuce thread. There are so...
How much history do you know on this one? It looks a lot like a black and (either) flamed or scalloped one I used to see running around with...
Exactly. Many people don't want to go to the "hassle" of rebuilding a real car when they can buy a new "better" one.
I am from north of the border. The first thing I look for is "Made in Canada", second, "Made in the USA". If I can't find either, I ask myself how...
I love '60s drag cars, and this one is not doing anything to change that!
That is how it works. Your ins co takes care of you, then they go after the other guy. It sucks that this happened to you, as it sounds like you...
My son is named Trevor. I keep bugging my wife that he is named after the TVR, which was named for it's creator TreVoR Wilkinson. Have or have had...
Bingo!!!
Exactly. The repops for my off topic truck are about 3/16" short in height where they meet the door-cowl. I would need to cut and add metal the...
I'm no expert, but if it were mine I would remove the fan spacer, then move the rad back by the length of the fan spacer. next step would be to...
From the factory, that body style is hard to improve on. You have improved it by a long shot. Great work. Keep us posted.
I know 2 people this has happened to. One guy bought a 'Cuda off of a used car lot, cops came to his door and confiscated it. He fought and was...
Simple & smooth, I bet it was tons of work...well worth it in the end.
That is one sweet looking '56, the best I have ever seen!
Describe "a little" fluid. If it is not as much as you would expect, I would think the master is the problem. I ran into this years ago, that's...
Swap the 351 for an FE, from there it is simple. You will probably be happier with the result.
