Finally got internet at my new place. Yay. [ATTACH] Still haven't touched the truck, but while packing I did find a floor pan I thought I had...
I've picked up a few issues, but I'm lazy. Give me all of them in one box so I don't have to hunt. :D Plus I'd like some of the money to go into...
I need all my friends to put their projects on hold for a bit so I don't feel so bad about slacking on my stuff....... Just kidding, keep it...
I wish I could just buy the whole TRJ backlog somewhere...
Quick update, I haven't had time to mess with the truck much because I have been packing my shit... [ATTACH] Closed on a sweet little mid...
A guy brought a 60 Impala in to my shop for an oil change. It was running like shit... he said he barely drives it because it barely runs & nobody...
Go Joey go!
I wouldn't run a Johnny Law axle on my lawnmower.
The skid plate hangs lower than the oil pan and will scrape/hit more often than the oil pan did. With it welded to the pan, any of these more...
TRJ is such a quality publication. I have a few issues and I'd really like to see it catch. A lotta love goes into it. It's hard to put a product...
[ATTACH] So this lug nut was free spinning (with the cap nut) from the time I picked up the truck and I guess that explains why. I had to use an...
Damn, man... some cars are just too damn nice to mess with. There's plenty of unloved cars out there waiting for a chance to see the road again. I...
I had it up to like 35 or 40 and it was tracking straight. Other than the square wheels and wobbly cab it seemed completely comfortable at speed....
That little ecoboost puts out like three times the torque of the banger lol. I would probably be retaining the stock rear end, it can handle 65...
I didn't get any with the two beds I brought home, but when I build the stake sides for this truck I definitely want to track down old iron...
For me, all the fun in this hobby is in reanimating old iron, so I'm not pulling a running engine, but I am already considering a couple of...
I run a lube shop that is steadily expanding into real mechanic work. Our labor rate is 150/hr for anything we have to get our hands dirty for and...
Finally got a winning combination of weather & time, so I went by after work with Saul and got to work. First things first - welding! [ATTACH]...
I love nice paint, but I love seeing flaws and wrinkles from use... a quality paintjob with a few years of real driving under its belt is prime...
"Panard" is how it's pronounced, "Panhard" is how it's spelled.
Yes, sorry, pre-65 indeed. I always think “no Mustangs” so my mind goes to 64. But the idea is pretty much the same.
Man, not to be an asshole, but I don't think it needs that much thought. Traditional cars in the context of this forum are the kinds of things you...
Not too much. Waiting on good weather to paint this chassis. I installed my Nu-Rex timing gizmo, rebuilt & installed a Marvel-Schebler carburetor,...
It has been a long time (over a year) since the engine and transmission were in the same place so I was going off memory. It has been a long time...
Hey guys. I just picked up a Z'd, stepped, and narrowed Model T frame for next to nothing and it's telling me it wants to be a single seat...
Lol, doubtful with this one. Been plugging away... time limited but getting 30 minutes to an hour each day to accomplish small tasks on this...
Not loaded, luckily. I haven’t touched it in a while- been distracted with this AA I picked up and trying to buy a house. No time to play with guns!
I forgot to mention last week- the old jack that was under the seat cleaned up well. It seemed pretty fucked and I didn't have any expectations...
Everything seemed to fit OK except the top bows. I'm not going to try to install the wood until the cab is back sitting on the frame and on new...
[IMG] With only a month til the show I wanna hit... Most everything has been pretty compliant on this truck so far but the fenders have been a...
