Thought I would ask the experts here. I have a car that got finished for my dad (story to follow), and I ended up taking stewardship of. He worked...
I have a 42-48 rear. I'd like to get a narrower width to the axle as on the 39s, or 40s. Can I "swap" parts like the bells and axles, while...
It's the eternal question, but I have to make a decision, and wanted some imput from the pros here. I've always wanted to have a Model A...
I know the cases for quickchange rear ends are prone to stress in some areas, even cracking. How do you determine if the parts are in good usable...
Whaddya got behind your steering wheel, and what gauges? Anything interesting or just damn cool.
Have heard about it, haven't used it. Anyone have experience with it to just get the residual paint (or light primer coat) off metal?
Just curious since I saw some great tachometers at a swap meet. Need to make sure the tach is doing what the motor can put out.
Between the Model A roadsters, what's your preference? Specifically, I'm talking about fenderless cars, either with or without hoods. I have...
Rain, sun, burnouts and a LOT of fun. A big big thanks to KIRK! for enduring energy, Rudy and Denise for hospitality. Two or three downpours...
Just sayin. Not understandin: http://www.mtv.com/onair/dyn/fast_inc/series.jhtml
It's been said before that ANYTHING with those sacred little numbers "32" is getting way way way out of hand. I mean, look at these two little...
I was hunting around the web and found this treasure trove of old pics from the 40s and 50s. Lots of lakes pics, and all kinds of combinations of...
Long weekend + time off = building stuff and swap meets. Where are some good ones? I'se a lookin fer stuff.
Who's got the slammed, "patina"-filled, or fully painted? What's your roadster look like? Also, what's the story with it? Did you find it...
I've been hovering around a Model A coupe and I need to tell the seller if I want the body sooner than later. Problem is, I'm 6 foot, and I would...
Maybe I got the date wrong, but for a few shows, like Billetproof, cars newer than 1964 aren't allowed. Why is this? The advent of the Muscle...
I know some of you are gonna hate me for posting this, but hear me out. This is partially fueled by an overcaffeinated morning. So here's an...
Don't mean to redirect traffic to "the auction site", but did y'all see that Zephry in Finland? Nice car. Way way way too many Wendy's...
Sometimes I hate decisions. I will be doing an AV8 project starting this summer. I have resources for help on the frame, front and rear ends,...
I hear someone is popping 40 Ford backing plates. Is it true? Also, since I'm rounding up parts for the font end, is the Lincoln plate...
I was looking through some builds for frame rails and noticed some areas where the frame rails would (or could) be drilled completely through to...
Coupes, roadsters, Tudors, or cabriolets, what's your favorite (or what would you have if the garage was big enough)?
I guess this is an unusual request to see who might be interested in a car show coming up this summer. Some of you around the Detroit area know...
I know there are different sized doors on Model A cars. The roadster doors are a postage stamp, while a coupe's is a bit bigger. How much longer...
I have a neighbor who got a Lincoln in trade for some roofing work. I think it's a '46 Lincoln. Anyway, it has an 8 in it right now, but it also...
Just a quick garage/shop related question. I'd like to get a sizeable compressor for the garage, and I'm considering a 60 or an 80 gallon...
A good friend of mine is selling his 4-year old Miller Syncrowave 180 for a good price. All stuff included, basically as new. My question is,...
Got a thought lodged firmly in my melon today, and before you beat me up, think about this fer a second. Why do I keep stumbling across all the...
I'd like to pick up a good-quality welder for the garage, but don't have a great deal of opinions to draw from while making a decision. Mainly...
Just thought I'd ask a slightly O/T question. I'm a designer at GM, and occasionally create a surface or a part in Alias. I can get it...
