I just thought that we should be seen. And be our own group of car people. And we do think outside the box.

It is because if theycant be read from 60 feet away they will reject them and you cant use them. I need to make they readable but not look like a repaint.

Are those the same as the 1/2 ton, i think they are i would try LMC they might have them or Kanter they have some odd stuff.

I think we need some kind of firewall or something badge or mascott that tells the HAMBers who we are. Be cause the hamb ones are all over and they are on some of the rat style rods. I would like to see some ideas. Because i thought Hot rodding is building with what you can afford or have or...

I just got a pair of 1930 MA plates for my car. What can i do to repaint then make them look old. Ma registry sucks if they think they where a repaint they wont let you use them. and what colors should they be! How can i age them after i paint. I have done steel parts before but not painted. Help!

Thanks for the help i will get them done and they will work. Will take your advise and cool them slowly that is easy i have a stove that i can set at 400 then drop it down in increments till warm Thanks

I saw a i think 32 with a nailhead with a mcchough super charger with home welded exaust manifolds that were at least 40 years old. i am going to do the nickel weld, if i prep it right they will be fine. i just won't put my inpact gun on rattle or snap when tightening the pipes to the manifold.

Will problebly paint them the motor is detailed

What would work is 364 dual exhaust manifolds but they are hard to find. I need them close to the block so it misses the frame. I have t bucket side exhaust now but want to do some thing different.

I am going to cut the down pipe and reposition it for my car. So where it meets the head will not be touched. Will try the nickel rod thanks
