Amazing, OI. Thank You.

I'm going to vote with Snopro on this topic. We have an old car forum here and we can stray a wee bit from that but politics and religion are topics that are a way off -- too far off to mention here.

I'm not the type of guy that puts a SBC in every hotrod, so here's what I've been doing this past week. The bad motor that came in my '56 Fairlane was just lying around the shop in pieces collecting dust and getting in the way, so I took the short block to town again and said to my man 'fix it...

I've had two different things that showed the same symptoms as you have. One; a bad coil will heat up and cut power badly, and then whatever you fix or change, [even circling your car a few times cursing] will let the coil cool down and away you go for a while again. Two; the little wire from...

Welcome to Undeadsleds, from northern Alberta. I will be following your progress excitedly, because I have a '29 Model A in my line-up future.

I can add to the spam; I have a place in my tool chest for my homemade stuff. There are quite a few bent wrenches and I use them once in a while, so NO throwing things away. Anyway, Here's a picture of my pedal setup, bolted in for [hopefully] the last time. It might not be wise to say exactly...

The picture is of the afore mentioned bent wrench holding a bolt head and working. I have the pedal assembly bolted in there and most of the things worked out. But, when I climbed up into the cab and went to step on each of the pedals, Whoooboy, they both hit the wide old motor partway down. The...

Don't lend me your wrenches! pic one, is how I bent a brand new wrench, [a cheap one, Power Fist], to fit bolt heads inside the boxed in frame.

You're doing fine, carry on.

Bama, I have been using Ultra Flat Camouflage Dark brown hide the rough stuff. I've now got the little actuating arm made and fine tuned and mounted. Pics one and two are the little arm and pic three is the pedal system completed, filled with brake fluid and bench bled. I sold an old truck to my...

Welcome to the RRR site, from northern Alberta. I'm looking forward to seeing your 'build thread' on here.

Welcome back, ZZ.

I've always liked late fifties Mopars. Drive it like it is. My outlook is; fix a vehicle up to whatever goal you have, don't fix it down.

I agree, Bob. Today, I finished up the bushings in the pedals and mounting pedestal, but slowed down on building an arm to drive the pushrod to the clutch master cylinder. You know how sometimes you make some complicated do-hickey and then realize that that won't work so you have to throw it...

There's at least one narrowing of an axle in my future, so I watched with interest. Thank you.
