this is what I have.[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
There's an entire thread devoted to go karts. That may be where you saw some photos.
Thanks all!
I'm almost ready to do the initial start up of a freshly built engine. I built my own A/C + alternator mounts using a junk compressor. I'm a long...
Most Beautiful or Most Banal? From these angles at least, these look like every other street rod.
This post was asking for info on Japanese-American car clubs, but didn't get too far...
or learn how use Google. "Gates 20412" brought up dozens of sites that carry it.
Thanks for chiming in about stuff you don't know. I know the owner. They also have a YouTube channel where you can see their work in progress, so...
Volkswagen
The OP did not say it was his responsibility. He only asked for suggestions. Not everyone knows how to arrange transport, so being able to offer...
There are great HAMBer transporters, but because they're good, they're booked for months. Maybe your transaction can wait. My last 2 sales went...
Too much of a curve for an Econoline. It looks like late model Corvair (1965-69), not the early models with integrated turn signals. [ATTACH]

From the looks of the license plate it's a New Jersey hot rod. :)
We had insurance every year for the Hunnert Car Pileup and Hunnert Car Heads Up. It was required by the venues. I think we also posted signs at...
Yes. Go for it! Keep us posted. You bought it in June. What have you done on it in the last 4 months or so? 8 months to go.
OK. That's what I thought. Thanks. Yes, the head is off the block and I will use a dial indicator to get to true TDC, but could use a piston stop
My balancer does not have timing marks (left), so I got a degree wheel and timing tape, watched some videos, did some reading, etc. I think I have...
just look for colored plexiglass. That would be more appropriate on a race car anyway
The pan is currently off the car. It's all cast aluminum (no steel insert). It's already a 1/2-20 plug. The next larger sizes I see are in mm or...
I have an aluminum oil pan with a corroded/stripped drain. Can I use a Heli-Coil (fix-a-thread, thread-sert, etc) and be leak free? Is there a...
