    2015 Central Lake Car Show (Michigan)

    I didn't take a ton of pics, but there were not as many cars because of the looming weather that was around all weekend except the day of the show. We drove up through a monsoon... (Luckily I built an engine cover the night before so the motor didn't get swamped when parked) On to the pics, I...

    FS: 1997 Viking Popup - Gotta Go, lets deal!

    Asking $2850/OBO - Located in metro Detroit but will travel a bit if necessary. I have a 1997 Viking popup camper which was stored indoors for almost all of its life. We did replace one interior panel and the roof vent as there was a small leak at one time, but all is now good. Newer tires...

    Time flying by... meh

    It seems after the extreme snow, and long winter this year, this year is just flying by... Maybe I've just taken on too much to get done this year I don't know... Anyone else feel like this year is just flying by?

    Restoration quality seals? ford F-1 cowl vent seal

    Well I installed a cowl vent seal that is less than stellar. I ordered it, it was supposedly a high quality setup, but the original was a soft seal style foam rubber, and the new one is just solid molded rubber, so good luck getting it to seal with the cowl vent door. So here I am, I am in need...

    Sheet metal bracing using conduit - Grille Shell, and other

    I thought I would share something I am working on, I'll try to snap some pics soon. When I need a brace to hold fenders, or rocker panels or even grille shells to make them more rigid, I've taken 1/2" conduit and cut it to length, flattened the ends in the vice, and drilled mounting holes and...

    Master cylinder rod adjustment needed after hooking up vacuum line?

    Tonight I got the motor running again, and it seems with the vac line hooked up to be brake booster, the pedal feels like it has 2" of travel before resistance? When I bled the brakes with no vac source it was a nice firm pedal [S[S[S Any thoughts or lessons learned from you all would be...

    Battery suggestions? smaller style dry cell or agm...

    I'm starting to look for a battery, and I want one that is lighter and smaller than the old lead/acid variety... I'm looking at Odyssey, Optima, and the like, but I'm not sure what I really need, I know factory spec is 650CCA, but I don't plan on really driving the rat when its 0 degrees out. I...

    Opinions/thoughts on drag link clearance on left turns

    Just curious if any of you have run into drag link to tire clearance issues on left turns? I believe my drag link will be an issue with this, and I planned on stepping the drag link by putting a couple bends in it to clear the tire at left full lock. I'll be working on steering box placement...

    Picked up a Ford 300 & 4 speed trans today

    I decided to trade some old VW parts I have for a 300 Ford (70s motor) with a friend. I know a couple of you had some plans for building up a 300, this is for a future project which is far far on the back burner, but when I see something I can use later on and not have to spend money on it, I...

    DODGE M-37 or M-43 DRAG LINK, need sizes please

    Can someone tell me what size the pivot balls are for a Dodge M-37/43 drag link? This drag link is the right length (24") if it is for a 1" pivot ball. Thanks guys!

    Jeep Willys 48-71 Drag link, need some sizes please.

    I found a drag link that I think might work for me, with a couple modifications, and much cheaper than buying an F1/F100 unit and lengthening it. Anyhow it is an Omix-ada 18041.01 part number for 48-71 Jeep Willys, does anyone know what size the pivot ball is on the Jeeps? I measured my...

    Opinions needed Tire Sizes

    I've looked at what I had on the truck previously, and took some measurements before selling the wheel/tire combo I had. Rears measured 28" OA height, and the fronts were 27.1" OA height by the numbers (215/70/15) So in seeing I had less than an inch difference in height overall front to rear...

    48-52 Ford Truck Drag Link

    I'w wondering what some of you have used for a drag link when using the stock front axle and steering arm off the spindle? I'm temped to just lengthen or shorten the stock drag link after rebuilding it, but I also like the idea of having tie rods or heim joints as well on it instead of the...

    CNC Plasma setups

    I'd like to hear from the guys who have made their own cnc plasma tables. I've got a friend who is looking to build his own, and I'll likely be doing the controls and integration. I've looked at linuxcnc.org so far, and I plan on probably going that route, but I wondered if you guys are using...
