There's a difference between either the Corvette balancer or the hub for balancer. All other platforms are the same. Alan Grove makes a nice setup for the LT-1 to mount the compressor up high

Brakelines You might want to redo those brakelines out of the M/C, you don't the loops going uphill you want them downhill so you don't trap air in them...that's why GM Ford, etc make them that way.

Great looking project, hope the distributor is in the right spot!

Glad to hear you got!

You don't have too much free play from the pushrod into the m/cyl do you? I have run across that before causing the same kind of problem you have. Otherwise I'd try the other master. Hope this helps!

Prop valves don't work as a residual valve, residuals are in the m/cyl. Think maybe you have a problem with the rears? I assuming you still have drums on the back...may need adjusting if you still have drums on the rear. Everything else sounds okay but the 73 setup did use a combo valve (prop...

I have been to Chicago several times, very nice city IMO with a lot of things to do and see there, and good places to eat also. You gotta get outta the semi to really check it out.

Both projects look fantastic, I have a question about the wishbone top link you're using. I have seen these being used, primarily on mini trucks and have considered using that on a bobber style truck I'm going to build eventually. Do you think that it will handle the side loads from cornering...

That is one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen, you knocked it WAY out of the park!

Your fab work does look very good. I'm kind of skeptical on mounting the rack to the axle however. I've seen a couple of Ford coupes that were done like that (but used a buggy spring set up with radius rods) and were quite a handfull to drive. One of them was converted to a new Vega gear and...

That bolt that was in there looks to be quite a bit longer than what it should have in it....if that wasn't right what else might be done incorrectly? You should probably inspect it even further.

Check out Mittler Bros, Mike is a friend of mine and these are the best out there, along with everything else they make.

If your son has any other cars he starts and then wants to scrap or redo, I'd be more than happy to have them! Great work!:D

Outstanding work...got any more pics of how you did your seat? Is it out of something else? Great looking truck!!

We used swedged steel tubes for lower control arms, trailing arms, strut rods, etc. on stock cars without any failures. I have seen tubing with bungs welded in them fail-because they weren't plug welded and no bevel ground between the bung and tube before being welded. The swedge tubes held up...
