Thank you Sir... And also for the colorful yet motivational speech below it.
Is the show going to be in Winston or Kernersville this year?
I've been drooling over this 38 in the classifieds. A good look for these cars imo.
Changing the uprights will not help the geometry. Your best bet is to make changes to the spring height.
Wow, that's down in the dirt. If the suspension is same as the one on a 50 then alignment won't completely take care of your problem. Good...
Your 49 rear should be 60" as well. If you are going to lower it, Jamco sells blocks that relocate the pin so you can just drop the 55-57 rear in...
Ha ha! The older I get the bigger pussy I become. Not saying I don't drive the roadster hours at a time in 30 degree weather, I just don't like it...
Being in PA, your ass would see a bit more seat time in the Tudor than the speedster each year. Even on warm spring and fall days that early...
I called and spoke to Tom on this after that post since there is only mention of the possibility on any site you go to. (Even inliners) I don't...
Beer and lack of sleep has been my downfall many times. (Mostly beer) I can totally relate. Hey but look on the bright side, you are teaching a...
Can't belive that this hasn't been asked yet and yes I know that it will not help your situation but... How the hell did it slip by you that you...
I'll be there wearing the same smile I had on last year! This is the absolute BEST show on the east coast. No one should be on the fence about...
It's almost impossible to pick a favorite out of all the beautiful custom Chevy's that have been created over the years. Here are a few of my...
There are issues that come along with lowering these cars with springs only. Camber adjustments, bump steer, etc... If you can't do this mod...
Was there a noticeable difference in the distance to the steering wheel after the switch?
I know that this is an old thread (for you thread police) but does anyone know how much shorter a 54 column is than a 50?
Moriarity, That's damn near perfect in my eyes. You just sealed the deal for me on the stepped control arms. Any issues with that setup?...
I have read that the 270 and 302 rods were the same up until 56 or 57. That's when the 302 rods were fitted with the larger wrist pins of the...
Thanks for the insight fellas. Definitely some things to consider. I'll have to take it to my machinist and see what he says. He's slow like most...
IT'S ALIVE!!!! Bringing this awesome thread back from the dead. Inliners stand up! OK, enough of the dramatics, I actually have a legit...
The car itself will not be too low. You'll just need to watch your clearance on the exhaust. On my 50 it gets pinched between the rear end and the...
Here is a thread link with quite a few good options in it....
I've always liked the 54 originals. For some reason I can't upload a pic but run them on my 50 most of the time. I also have a set of 57 Caddy's...
OK, since there are no takers on general info I do have a specific question. I've seen several references (different websites) to a 261 build that...
Bump in hopes of bringing it back from the dead.
Found another thread about them. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/can-anyone-id-these-hubcaps.283131/
I know that they aren't customs but sure do look like a lot of fun.
Thanks for the heads up Matt
Van, I have an extra Offy intake if you are looking for one. Bought it for my 261 but ended up finding a Tattersfield.
You guys have me questioning it since I didn't actually see the officer go under the car. Only going on what he told me. Did find another thread...
