See pic above, running a full hood for that reason. My buddies and I spectated twice and that was one of the things we noted from the sidelines.
Another good point. I’m already planning for there to be sand coming out of every nook and cranny of the thing for the rest of my life…
Great point. I think we’re good there but it doesn’t hurt to double check.
You’re more or less required to, yeah. We could probably go up a size or two and be within the rules, but not enough to make a big difference....
I’ve been there a couple times as a spectator, this will be the first time running there. I checked earlier, the car has just under 6” at the...
Beach, yeah. It looks smooth, but especially at the starting line, things get pretty torn up. Very few cars seem to start without spinning… I’m...
Question for anyone who has run a car on the sand: how much ground clearance is enough? The grille shell on my car hangs a little low and I'm...
Brand new, ordered these and had them on the shelf for a while before I discovered that they didn’t have enough drop in them for my project. These...
What you see is what you get. Manufacturer unknown. I’ve had these hanging on the wall for years now and haven’t come up with anything to out them...
Need cleaned up, but look to be in nice shape. Some clodhopper painted them orange before I got them. $100 +the ride. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
Minor, but critical point... that spring I gave you is a front spring for sure, but it's a '39 not an A.

I don't know much about these, they came with a bunch of there parts that I bought as a lot. The drums and backing plates look like they would...
Any possibility of excluding your /testsite directory isn't indexed by search engines? You're getting a lot of search results (on google at least)...
You win. See my above reply for more info...
So, it's been a while. I've had some other mechanical issues to sort out, so I haven't been able to drive/test the car. I did replace the right...
Funny you should chime in, I was just getting ready to put up a request for more pics of your car. Instead, I'll be trawling through your posts...
Very interesting theory. The exhaust passes through the frame rails on these cars. I don't think any portion of the exhaust comes close to the...
The pull feels pretty steady with moderate pressure on the pedal, but if you jump on them pretty hard, it seems to grab initially, then steady...
I understand what you're saying, but maybe I'm not being clear: if this eccentric adjustment was at fault, why would it only pull SOMETIMES?
I wasn't aware of that and don't have a manual. Here again though, wouldn't this be a thing that would make it pull all the time?
Interesting point, but if this was a glazing problem, it seems like it would be consistent, no? Not good when I start driving, then rapidly...
I like this idea a lot, but at the moment I don't have a lot of time on my hands. It's also pretty difficult to get some help to bleed the brakes...
Is the thinking that the inside of the hose has a defect that is acting like a one way valve and holding pressure on one of the wheel cylinders...
As far as I can tell, it's not leaking anywhere. I'll definitely take another look though. Thanks for the input...
I believe its the front. It actually tugs on the steering wheel when it happens...
My brain is beginning to hurt from this one. Here is the situation: my 55 Ford Fairlane has an odd brake pull that only happens after I've been...
For sale, a very nice Edelbrock EC6 intake for early hemi. This is the 3 bolt version for 94/97 etc. carbs. This was polished at some point in its...
For a variety of reasons, it seems like the later heads would be easier to live with. Just to be clear, this isn't an effort to fool the...
