I've posted my dumb@$$ shop stories in another thread so I'll relate a personal experience while I was in the military. We were getting ready to...
Good find! I have a line on a 4 door as well, and looking at yours, if it's worth it, I'll snap it up.
I do have to say, coming home after sanding it...it wasn't pleasant....
My Dad was teaching me how to do a tune up and he handed me a spark plug wire and told me to hold it. Before I could form the question of why I...
I've always enjoyed the stick, but it may depend on how much of a pain in the ass it is to set it up with a manual.
Inquiring minds want to know... Nothing for nothing, but I hope the judge throws the book at him.
The only thing I've found so far that makes enough alcohol cheaply is distilling molasses. The problem is the quantity. You can buy a ton of...
I was wondering why he didn't call
My bad, I'm not that familiar with flatheads of any type. But a 2x4 frame on a furniture dolly sounds just as good.
A decent engine stand doesn't cost much and it makes cleaning and painting an engine so much easier. You can pivot the engine 360 degrees to help...
WTF do you mean main man? The hierarchy still stands, in your shop he's the bitch when we're both there. Goddamn it 364, change your name and...
When Zman was putting the Jag suspension in his Buick, I was helping him with the small stuff. I was cutting out a piece of mounting bracket from...
If you went with the dummy tank idea, IPECAC (you can get it from the pharmacy) is a buck or two and produces an instantaneous reaction. Mix with...
I'm glad everything worked out with Hans. I can take off a little early on Thursday if you'd like an extra hand (I'd say or someone to yell at...
Very nicely done unpunk! Gives me some ideas for a Sherman themed rod....
Thanks for the cool pics, I never get enough of those! My Dad has done some work with the Confederate Air Force and has a couple of buddies...
Welcome Bob, nice Model A! Good to see another die hard 'hawk wearing hot rodder. I'm still new to the HAMB but welcome anyway. Biscuit
Plan 9, that movie was absolutely hilarious! Now I have a new "Stupid Slow Driver" hand motion. The first film was pretty awesome too. The...
http://www.memaerobilia.com/engineselection.asp#top It mentions a inverted Ford engine that's aircooled and it was developed before WWII....
I watched the show maybe a couple of episodes past Bluebear leaving. The one or two projects having to be done in a month were one thing, but it...
Biscuit-It's my real life nickname. Come's from an 80's mainstream punk movie. One of the characters eats dog biscuits, I was munching on one...
That's a really nice looking rod fatabone. Good pics too. Good luck and I hope to see more. Biscuit
That is a beautiful car. I'm a big fan of sleepers, so if you dropped a bigger motor and updated the drivetrain but kept the body stock (with a...
Hey guys, I haven't seen a reply to GO-rilla's question as to building one po' boy. Obviously you don't want to do it on the cheap cheap but...
Count me as one of the lucky ones. She really isn't into the hot rod scene but if I keep her in CD's and DVD's, she let's me go to the shop and...
I like that he kept the original dash. Dashes from that era are almost works of art in and of themselves. I didn't like the color, but that's...
Helped Zman with his roadster, started coming up with ideas for my hotrod so when I got home I made up a list of what I'd like to see. I figured...
Don't ask me how I know that when bragging about how much you know about cars will subsequently make you put the battery terminals on a new...
I love it! The only thing I would change would be the top. I have placed a self imposed ban from EBay on myself for fear my poor impulse control...
Find a 30's Dodge or a 40's Chev sedan buy it, then buy a good quality digital camera so I could post pictures of the rod when I was done.
