Interesting. I often wonder what it is about this "site" that brings out the "brashness" that you refer to. I agree that in this case...
I have a SBC in my roadster. I've been looking forward to putting some aluminum heads on it. The block has ID code 3970010 on the left rear of...
I HAVE to give one last public THANK YOU to HAMB member "VOETOM". He sent me some very good high temp steel wool and ceramic packing. It took...
OK. My point is I am working to get "the sound that I want" with the look that I want. Capiche? No kidding that "baffles in the headers aren't...
Well, I guess I'm all set. Another member, VOETOM, has selflessly offered to send me some high temp steel wool and high temp ceramic wool....
Interesting, thanks
Thanks for all the replies.
Yeah, I think this is what budget36 is also talking about. Create a chambered pipe and do without packing altogether. It might be something I...
Yeah, OK. I'm not sure what that even means. It is a hot rod you know. Would "proper mufflers" be those that came originally on a '32 Ford? Or...
Yeah, this is the direction I am leaning in.
That is a very gracious welcome. Thank you. I've actually owned two Corvettes. A '66 ragtop, 327ci 350hp in '78- '79. I was 16 years old, and...
Well that was a damn eloquent post IMO! I'd disagree about "absurd prices" of steel bodies though. There really isn't absurd pricing in a market...
I just drove the car again to the grocery store. Big difference between driving it at 730 in the morning and 230 in the afternoon. Doesn't seem...
Good to know, Thanks. Thanks again. Yeah, it's fun to drive, and work on. It's only got a stock 350 in it now. I'm looking to change that...
I guess you meant "headers"? Sorry? Doesn't bother me. "Bundle of snakes" headers have a very long history in hot rods and high performance...
I'm a member without many real posts. This forum is an incredible source of information, but I resist from posting a lot due to the simple fact...
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I appreciate it.
The 8.8 popped into my mind but the diff is offset 2". At least it is when under explorers and rangers. Not sure that would look good under a...
Whats a cheap late model rear end for a Model A highboy? Something thats readily available in most junk yards? Not too wide. I'm planning a low...
Yeah, mostly the daughter pics.
Are you kidding?!!! Never! Never, apologize for a '67 fastback!!!!
I'm Kent. I'm 47, and I'm a gear head. I've lived in Colorado Springs all my life except my first two years, which I can't remember, in...
16 of 17. Misidentified an early Hemi for a 60's Hemi. Oh well, never was a mopar guy.
Yeah. B-17 Flying Fortress. Extremely cool!
Then since you are a student of the history of the escape you must know that the movie did deviate from reality in a very big way. NO AMERICANS...
Yeah, this is what I had in mind. I'm in the very early stages of planning a rod to be built when we're empty nesters 3-4 years from now. I'd...
Can any one definitively tell me how early alloy wheels came on the scene? Specifically I'd like to know about Torque Thrust type wheels and...
