That's lame... I'm going to call bullshit on your post. You don't know me, so don't state that I can't tune a carburetor. Besides, you need to...
Edelbrock is great only for a bolt on carburetor. If you want true performance and the ability to fine tune the carb, it's a poor choice. For a...
Very cool. I really like the Korean War era theme you chose for the truck. Nice work...
As a quick FYI, just in case anyone wants to use this article for header ideas for thier late 50's Ford... I forgot to mention that the Hedman...
Like the gentlemen before me said... For a MIG, set the welder voltage and wire speed for 1/4". Start the puddle on the 1/4" material and drag...
Isn't the stock '51 Chevy suspension already IFS? Other than needing rebuilding, is there anything wrong with the stock A-arms and other front...
Here are some pictures of how the headers fit with the body on. Unfortunately, I don't have any shots of the front fender and inner fender well...
To start learning with, you will want a MIG. Both Miller and Lincoln make quality welders. I own both (though I prefer Miller). A good choice...
Thanks. With some trimming along the contour of the upper A-arms, the inner fender wells will still fit. Based on the mock-ups I have done, they...
Where is the puncture / leak? What is the radiator material? Copper / Brass can be brazed. Aluminum can be TIG welded. If a can of Stop Leak...
This is especially for the folks wanting to swap a BBF into a late 50's Ford Custom 300 chassis... I thought I would share my experience with...
I appreciate the thumbs up! You have a great Galaxie. I love the two tone color combination. If you have any questions, or need a sounding board...
Here's a little inspiration (not my car- I wish!) from a fellow friend over at 460ford.com BBS. It's a '62 Falcon that makes 1,778 RWHP on pump...
I second that! Awesome find...
Thanks much. All of the '59 Ford models are awesome- cool and unique in their one-off year way. I have to admit that a Galaxie (exact year?) is in...
Absolutely fantastic work! Beautiful TIG welds. Very well done sir...
Here a couple of pictures of my '59 Ranch Wagon. It's pretty much the same as the Fairlane, as they both share the Custom 300 chassis. I've...
That's awesome! I absolutely love Galaxies. Any pictures?
Thanks much. I know there are a lot of folks on this forum who really know there stuff. Sometimes there are multiple ways to go about something,...
Thanks everyone. I'm still working on the '59. I just opened my own business, so progress has slowed, but not stopped. Diverted funds- I know you...
Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to the H.A.M.B., and thought it high time I introduced myself. I've been doing car restorations as a hobby for...
Well- I posted some of my tech hoping people would find it informative. Instead, I got flamed, accused of ripping it off, dismissed as incorrect,...
Part V coming soon....
Part IV: Sub-Frame Fabrication: With the initial layout complete, it is time to start the fabrication process. The first thing to do is cut the...
Part III: Proof Of Concept: Proof of concept pictures are always a bit embarrassing to show. Mock ups done with wood, cardboard, etc. are not...
Cutting And Channeling The Floor Pan: The first thing to do is clearly mark the sections of the floor pan you wish to remove. Place several...
I thought I would write a tech article regarding a project that is currently in progress, for a change. I am in the middle of extensively...
Thanks for the welcome. I just posted 14 separate tech articles, making for about 50 printed pages. I hope you enjoy it. I start all my tech posts...
I've noticed many people asking about the proper way to set driveline angles, especially the pinion angle, so I thought I would write up a tech...
Properly tuning the front steering of a vehicle can sometimes be a real challenge. Improperly tuned front steering can manifest itself in strange...
