EIEI Oh!
I read in Rodder's Journal that a pickup was lengthened by stretching the cowl a bit. If you could add 2 inches to the cowl it would move the...
Fendered highboy??
I generally get 100.00 per hour, but I've been striping since '79. Really depends on the job. How easy to reach all the areas and see what you're...
I was born in 1941 so you figure it out. My Dad bought a model shop in Pasadena, CA and ran it for about 30 years. When I was in collage I worked...
Who did the nice striping and lettering?
Thanks a bunch guys. That verifys what I was thinking. I'll just alligator clip some test wires and prove it out. I was going to run a new ground...
So hey, what is the story on mid sixty's C10's wiring? I am trying to connect new LED parking lights up front and the plug n play connectors are...
Here's another two cents. Look up "C10crewcabs". Guy in Bakersfield sells a clever behind-the-tailight fuel door. Would probably work for other...
Las Tunas in San Gabriel!! From Alhambra way out thru Temple City to the wilds of Monrovia. Chicks and Rods all the way.
I just read through this thread from years ago...but still a problem. I owned a 29 roadster for a few years and I was contemplating cutting across...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's a couple of mine. So many ways to age stuff. I use Bon Ami powder on thinned 1 Shot.
Amazing new breakthrough today! Famous car mag has actual useful information. An article on costs of sb Chevy crate motor builds. Several sources...
Good luck holding the Bruegler upside down, guy! Paint has to flow to tip by gravity. I always use a brush for that reason. It'll even flow upside...
Perhaps a comment about the "bug" or stamp of quality would be worth a mention. You can get a ticket if you don't have a big on each piece here is...
I have a mid century GM vehicle of the 10 variety which I won't identify so that you'll read this whole string. It is in very good shape and I'm...
Jer/Artworx, Turlock +I've been striping for 45 years or so. I've used Macks, Sharffs, Grumbacher and Von Dagos. Mack seems the longest lasting...
Thanx, Squirrel! The truck in question is a 68 and the trans is the original one, so no computer. Maybe it is a 7004 but the ad sez 400...
I am looking for/at C-10 pickups and I found one with a 400 overdrive. I read the text carefully and it did have an overdrive and not an...
Our local Fasenal does something I've never seen before, they only take cards...no cash. Weird. I have the -sert coming in the mail. Thanks for...
Thanx. I ordered the nut-sert. Fasenal is just down the street but they don't carry them and won't order them. Funny.
So I bought another mirror for my roadster. Of course its for the pass. side, thought if I got a top I'd need it. It arrived in record time from...
So I opened an e-mail about my Street Rodder subscription and the new publisher TEN says they are ending the magazine. Really? They stopped Rod &...
Good comments so far but no real solution. Fontana's idea is better then the keyway. Speedway has the slotted mounts but I would have to cut...
Perhaps I am not as clear as I intend: The lower shock mount rotates during use. Both sides.
Here is a pretty good picture of my front end. Nothing strange. P@J tube axle and four bars. Here's the thing; Every time I ride a ways the shock...
The problem with the kill switch is that ugly plastic red key. It screams made in china and not vintage at all. I looked for other options but...
There is a (titled) '46 Chevy sedan delivery with a '42 front end for sale on the board right now.
Just a year ago I bought this car. Wanted a real roadster since high school, but things have changed and I think I'd best pass 'er on. Here goes;...
I'm agreeing with about 70% so I guess that's good. The Lokar cable shifter is over 350.00...but it would solve the problem. The location is not a...
