I dont want to sound like a crazy or anti goverment but gas is formulated to sell more gas not lower emissions. How can a fuel be lower emissions if you get 10% to 15% less mpg. If it takes 2 gals of fuel to make one gal of ethenal is that saving the earth?

I have Hagarty its 215.00 for a 10K agreed valve. I am not sure how they are if you have a problem. The 215 also gets you free towing up to 50 mile.

Antique plates as explained to me by the state of NH is for a stock vehicle. You must have all body parts (fenders, hoods, bumpers) on the car. Also you can only use the car to go to car shows and stuff like that. The street rod plates pre 49 let you run a vehicle that only needs brakes...

Thanks I dont know how much more driving I will get this year. I have only one day left on my 20 day plate and the state is messing with me on my streetrod plates.

Thankyou very much, I am having some problems with some of my pic's I will have to take a few more to post.

AMEN, I tell my 5 yr old do something good for attention not something bad.

Pop culture has kinda made "ratrod" a unsafe rebar build. Its the same way a "streetrod" is a high dollor Boydster. If you went to a parking lot and showed 10 people a few pic's of custom car's. The car with saw blades, rebar and junk welded to it. What kind of car is it? They would call...

I hate when someone calls my 29 chevy roadster a ratrod. To me a true ratrod has rebar welded to the frame or suspension. A car built with only car parts is a hotrod to me. But thats my opinion and what do I know half my car was made of wood from the factory.

The NH DMV told me to get street rod plates on a pre 1949 I need street rods shall be equipped with the following: (a) Hydraulic service brakes on all wheels. (b) Sealed beam or halogen head lamps. (c) Seat belts for all passengers. (d) Turn signal lamps...

Your using rebar on suspension, maybe you dont know what you think you know. Rebar is something a back yard hack would use.

After building my 29 chevy, I dont think I would do it again. Wood is a pain in the A** all the body parts are justed nailed on when the wood rots the pannels just fall off. I replaced 99% of the wood with steel its hard to get the body lines right. I kept the parallel front springs but...
