Well, you had to ask. I was concerned the HAMB has become much more strict about content, so I put this build thread on the 67-72 chevy trucks...
So, here I am again. I need these gaskets again and they are hard to find. I found my thread on a google search for the gaskets. I did end up...
I get seat belts from southern rods. They sell the same seat belts everyone does and have a huge selection, at a much more reasonable price....
I would do this too. Gaskets are cheap. Rings and bearings are cheap if you find out early. A cam kit with new lifters, push rods, valve...
The ball joint was brand new, and now less than 2500 miles and it is very tight. Update: changed the rear end from a loud 3.50 open to a 3.89...
Just wax it. I prefer primer. The world is full of patina posers. There is a way to rise above it.
Another update. I had a loud clunk that seemed to be coming from the left front somewhere, when the suspension unloaded on a bump. Loud as in...
Next is a refresh on the wife's Model A. It has a 700R4 and still has 3.00:1 gears in the 9 inch. It is a bit tall, but the light car makes it...
More on the fuel pump. When I switched it out for electric, I went to pull out the fuel pump pushrod before putting on a solid block off plate....
Simple things can be hard to grasp. I was probably on my third hot rod before a driveline company told me u-joints had to have deflection to...
Marvel's Mystery oil may help with stuck rings. As mentioned, take a good gauge and see if your cylinders are tapered or oval.
I came in here to mention Kugel too. On the 48 F1 I just built, I put the MC on the firewall, no power. It was fairly clean. Then the wife...
I had a funny sound that could have been either trans or rear end. Turns out that my shifter arm was bent in touching my trans and it conducted...
Just drove to Victorville CA and back. First Holley mechanical fuel pump failed at Wileys Well Rd on I10. Second one started to go bad within 50...
Yes, R134 system, compressor, fittings, and PAG oil. Thanks. I didn't realize there was a plug on the side, I thought you just filled through...
The entire rest of the system is Vintage air. They say no additional oil is required besides what is in the compressor. They ship their...
I have an SD508 style compressor from Southern air. Does the compressor have oil in it already or should I add oil when charging the system?...

You can fit two suitcases, two beer coolers, two chairs, and an EZ-Up in a sedan. Of course, you just need to add a destination.:D
TCP Global Hot Rod Flatz. I bought it on the Amazon. There is a youtube video of a guy spraying it in a converted garage. His gun setup is...
Sprayed in the bedliner just a few minutes ago. I use Upol Raptor, tintable product. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
ALL Model A's should be hot rodded. Let's vote this into law!
An 8" Ford will work in your app. Your T-5 would break long before you could break an 8". A suitable width would be easy to find. Disc brake...
It is going back together now. The bed is in the back with a 90's steel floor and tubs I made. [IMG] [IMG]
I have done two TCI front ends, power rack, with sway bars. If you find them on ebay through CPP, you take the auction number, call CPP, and they...
I am looking for a photo of a baseball team limo from the 50s, 60s, or 70s. I can't find one on the googles. Post one up or send me a link if...
