Brilliant! Just brilliant.
4" chop on mine, with the windscreen move up under the visor for better vision. [IMG]
I painted mine with a brush [IMG]
Boy, someone got out the wrong side of the bed this morning.......
BTW: don't listen to the naysayers, it's a great idea. The only thing I would change in your plan would be to use 1935 16" wires as others have...
BTW: A Model A rear end is not bulletproof. It can be used ok, but drop clutch starts will kill it, so get the car rolling before feeding her the...
If you do a search for "Gashog" you will find his build is almost exactly what you want to do, and there's heaps of pics and useful info.
The beauty of a modern box, as opposed to adding an overdrive, is the synchro on all gears, and the bullet-proof nature of it. Let's face it, a...
Single 97 will be more than adequate.
Haha.... I dont think the double bass is gonna fit in there!
Hey Cooon, flag me down man. We'll have a yarn.
My 28 Tudor is about done. '47 engine, F150 3+1 trans, '47 open drive rear, CE front axle, '39 brakes, '66 Mustang radiator, 16" rims, 4" chop, VW...
With all due respect, those ground off welds on the frame look pretty scary. I'd be fishplating those, personally.
Compression ratio is pretty much meaningless. What you want is chamber efficiency. It has been proven (JWL's dyno testing) that 45-50 thou...
No. Well not in mine anyway. The front seats are way to close together. However, if it was done as a sedan-delivery with a rear door and no back...
This is my AV8, and here is the frame ...... [IMG]
You say you've cross-drilled the crank already. It's the rear of the crank that needs the help, so make sure all oil holes line up well (shells...
Radiator is 66 Mustang. Got it cheap, had it tested and modified to twin outs and ins, and it works great in a rod with no hood. 7lb cap and...
Just got back from the first drive on my rebuilt flattie. It's a C59A and I have installed new rings, main and rod bearings, valves faced and new...
Thanks for the info guys.
What's the consensus of opinion for tire pressure in Firestone 7.50x16s? My 28 highboy tudor rides hard with anything over about 20 lbs max, so...
Great pics, thanks!
This is GOLD!!
I'd like to know when metalflake first started appearing on hot rods. I imagine customs would have used it first, but I'd like like to know when...
220 lbs was recommended in the Ford Service Bulletins.
Tedders... (a tedder is a hay turning machine in this part of the world), the words of Pop-Rodder are words of wisdom indeed, and the path to...
Yes. The mitchell overdrive is available for Model A and for flathead V8. Macs and many other suppliers have them.
I have a 66 Mustang radiator cooling a flathead in my 28 A. I got a radiator shop to add extra outlets, and it works a treat. Strange thing...
I used a 67 Mustang drum/drum non-boosted master with pedals of unknown parentage, but yeilding a 6:1 ratio approx. I an running a flathead V8...
The 47 pickup 3 speed should have synchros on 2nd and 3rd. There is no such thing as a bolt-in fully synchro trans, any swap will involve at least...
