FYI, Studebaker Hawks from the mid-50's to mid 60's had 'glass dashes. I grafted one onto my '63 Rambler dash after trimming away everything but...
Wear gloves and eye protection, those little steel "splinters" can give you fits!
Die grinder with a carbide burr, a five minute job. If you don't have air, you can buy them in electric. Kinda like a Dremel on steroids...
I've had hotrods back before aluminum radiators were mainstream, when all you could get for reasonable cost was brass. Every single one was an...
Nice work! Did you have to stretch the fender openings for that tire diameter?
OTOH, smaller tubes (4 core) plug easier and the increased density impedes airflow thru the core. IMO, the material (alum over anything else) is...
I think he's still running the G-force T-5 that was in it when Mo had it. The gears are cut on a low-helix angle just like the M-22...
I don't know anything about this controller, but I've never seen white as a ground nor black as a hot...
A 325 is the same size as your slick: 12" tread, 13" body on a 10" rim, and 27.8" diameter. E-mail me and I'll send you a zip with pix of the rear...
No. I fabbed a set of "Chrysler Super Stock" spring hangers (you can see what they look like on Crite's site) from 3 1/2" square tubing and...
You either have a "special" car or are content to have the tires hanging outside the fenders. I couldn't even get a 275 in there with the stock...
Well, mine has the frame rails moved in and fits a 325DR. Almost a necessity if you want a larger tire. First thing in the way is the spring...
Gene, you ever get a handle on this?
What's your goal? You can go pretty quick with the factory leafs and Cal-Trac bars alone. Or minitub and move the springs in 3" per side and run a...
I've got one of those in my backyard, my son's car that hasn't been tagged since '05. He keeps saying he'll "work on it soon" while I keep...
Now I'm thinking it was 7/16" and not 1/2", not sure... I recall using a brake hose block from a 70's F-100, the hose part is a bit longer.
I was thinking the Maverick 8" had a different size "brake bolt" vent than the 9" rears do. Seems like the 8" had a 9/16" fine thread and the 9"...
My (real) Caltracs were like that, there was too much bow in the springs to get the bottom bar on. I removed a leaf on the spring pack and jacked...
The sides were different, taking into account the crown of the roads (back then). I'd run both sides the same in today's world...
"Oldbus" (retrorides link) has got mad skills!
Separate names with a comma.
