Definitely Reading, I was probably in the stands!!
I agree completely, last car was a winner at most shows. I plan to go to some shows, but only as a spectator.
Me to, 75 this May!! But the build is the fun!!!!
Yep, Krylon primer red. Frame and radiator shell are the color. I spent $1800, 15 years ago, to paint my old Corvette, a gallon of the Krylon...

Went with the K.I.S.S. theory. Still my favorite. Decals come soon.327/350.[ATTACH]
No just the horn, there are no wires in my steering column. So the turn signals are in the overhead and the horn is on the shifter.
OK! It's been awhile. Got the wiring done and it all works! The line lock button is the horn, and the lights and turn signals are all in the...
Well put!! Thanks
Wiring the back end. Park and brake circuits work, moving forward![ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I agree. The intake on mine just had a pad. I had to drill the hole. I used a Fostner bit, went slow, lots of lube, and finally broke through....
Went with the just removed from a wrecked Vette in 1967 look. Easy to keep clean too.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
She also ordered me a 63"x 36" Husky bottom box for Christmas to go with the big top box she got me last year! Must be doing something right???
Looks like it's a sealed bearing! I guess it's a throw away unit. Not sure I'd put it back in anyway!
I researched all that before. It's a small diaphragm street clutch. Pressure was under the bearing max. Works great till it's spinning! Looks like...
I also thought about the fact I didn't put a stop on the clutch pedal. I might be pushing the throw out bearing to far. I think I will run her on...
Agreed, that's one of the reasons I made the trans very easy to take out or reinstall.
I think I will put her up on jack stands, warm her up and push the clutch in for awhile, rev it up and see what happens. Good or bad I guess I...
Yeah I came to the same conclusion. I plan to remove the belhousing dust shield tomorrow and check it out. But I am pretty sure the new bearing is...
For sure and it helps an older hot rodders memory! Thanks
She has a hydraulic throw out bearing! Made the linkage issues a piece of cake! I'm thinking I might have shimmed it a tad to tight!! I am running...
I noticed a whirring sound when clutch pedal is depressed, throw out bearing? Any cures? More time to break in? Help, it's annoying. Clutch works...
My wife and I have decided it's a good thing! Our real estate agent told us the main reason they backed out was because of the drainage contour of...
Well everything went to shit!! House buyers backed out at the last minute! The house selling market went in the toilet! So my friend and I went to...
It's been four years since my last entry here. Cars running, brakes, some wiring. It's fast too.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Got into cars at the age of 12. My dad let me change intake gaskets on his 1958 Ford. It had a 332 V8. Cast iron intake was one third of the...
Found a better pic. I made sure I gave myself extra room around the pump. I figured that would put less load on the bolts with thick plate behind...
