I ran into this video on youtube by accident. It's all in German, but the action speaks for itself. [MEDIA]
Thank you. I used to have the Rod & Custom with the mid-engine car but it is long gone.
That is an amazing looking powerplant, any idea what it is? Looks like a 1920s (or older) aircraft engine.
I had a farmwife tell me once that old Internationals handle better on gravel at 70mph than at lower speeds. I'm not sure if she was right or not,...
That Moto Guzzi is gorgeous but the fairing looked a bit awkward around the handlebars.
I had a Dodge would do that, ice inside AND outside. The ice inside would break off and block the throttle open. Only way I could figure out to...
Hit it with a hammer?
Is that racoon poop everywhere or nuts stored by squirrels?
Could you give it a telescoping column to make it a little easier for the littler ones to reach the wheel?
283 with two four barrels or fuel injection is what springs to mind, probably a single four-barrel version as well.
My dad drove a Mayflower once, said he had to roll the window down to make room for his shoulder.
For some stuff, find friends that have stuff they don't need and trade for it - one of my friends likes cherry pie and my wife knows and likes him...
Love seeing the King Midget side by side with a Crosley Hotshot!
Back axle seems to have moved forward a few inches, maybe somebody installed one from a shorter wheelbase car (I think they were torque-tube...
But a beauty!
Could it have been a Davis three-wheeler?
Since it's an industrial engine, try any agricultural equipment dealers or industrial equipment dealers.
That would have been The Red Baron!
I retired March 2020 and my wife got laid off the year before, but got enough of a settlement she decided to take retirement. Anyway, with the...
I'd say if you have the cash, buy it and if you can't fix it, hang it on the wall.
Can't you set it up to do either with a pull of the cable? More modern cars have the choice of recirculating cabin air, which helps to heat up the...
I Have a '57 IH - an ordinary stepside. They did make a special golden anniversry model that was a fleetside, not sure where they got the quarter...
Lee Valley Tools used to sell a garbage can lid that you combined with a regular shop vac - hose from garbage can to shop vac and from tool to...
I don't know if this applies or not, but I remember reading that for some engines they recommend a restrictor in the oil flow to the heads so that...
Unfinished project from years ago
I bought a 55 Olds 88 four-door from a neighbour for $35 when I was 13 or 14. He said it had been running but I never got it to do more than...
Did you find a Cadillac flathead for it yet? Maybe a Lincoln flathead v-8 would do the job, more cubes than the Ford though not as many as the Caddie.
Probably added a second transmission installed backwards like they do for cars and trucks converted to tractor use.
Was the 292 an inline six or a v-8? Just hit me it could be either.
Love that!
