    Headlight experts

    Anyone know what these headlights are off of? I’ve seen them on older fords but then when I try Ebay none of them look right. I picked this one up at the swap meet. I’ve seen them before but can never find a pair. I know someone that has another one but the lens is cracked. So I either need a...

    Tunnel ram and long road trips

    Anyone running a tunnel ram and still driving long distances? I’ve got a tunnel ram set up with 2 Holley 450’s that I’ve been wanting to put on. The only thing holding me back is I’ve got a long road trip coming up (3000+ miles). My truck runs great now so I kinda don’t want to mess with it. It...

    Four bar questions

    Long story short I've changed my front end out, and I'm going to make a 4 bar set up for it. My question is do the 4 bars need to run parallel? Most of the set ups ive seen are. Then I considered if I was to just make a set of hairpins it would just have one mounting point on the chassis instead...

    Cold cut chop saws

    I've been thinking about buying one. I've been reading all kinds of reviews on them. They seem kinda hit or miss. The blades are expensive, and some people have issues with them being damaged easily. My guess is it's the user but not sure. My dewalt chop saw works and does the job but it gets to...

    Matching patina

    So basically I chopped my 27 Essex over the weekend. I have the typical cut, welding, and grinding marks. I'd like to get the patina to somewhat match up. I doubt I will ever just leave it outside and let Mother Nature do the work for me. What can I do to speed up the process that isn't going to...

    Are the bell housings the same?

    One of my friends messaged me today and told me he now has a 440 olds with a turbo 400. I haven't had a chance to go look at it. Will that trans still fit on to a Chevy small block, or are the bell housings different? I think I know the answer but still not sure I've never worked on anything...

    I beam or tube??

    So, I've got a new project and I'm gathering parts that I don't have and need. I've been looking at front ends from speedway. I've never used a tube front axel and was wondering what is the general opinion? I'd kinda prefer a I beam axel but they only carry them for the ford spindles. If I use a...

    Missing title in Colorado

    So basically I found a Essex body to build another rat and as you can imagine there it no title. Anyone in Colorado familiar with the procedure for a missing title. From what I gathered reading other posts it might be easier to just get a mechanics lien or a towing yard?? Or is Colorado one of...

    How fast is your rat

    This isn't really a question on all out speed. More of a question of how fast at a comfortable speed on the hwy. I've been messing around with my front suspension a lot trying to dial in the handling at higher speeds on the hwy. i drive mine all over but I will tell ya when it comes to...

    Esab rebel

    Anyone here have or tried the rebel? I've seen reviews saying its a great duel purpose mig/tig welder. I have a Lincoln mig now and sometimes I'd like to tig as well. So basically I've considered selling the Lincoln for something like a rebel or possibly just get a tig unit and keep the Lincoln.

    Front suspension

    What is the opinion on the difference between spring over or spring behind suspension. Is there any difference in ride quality? I have a spring over set up now but thinking about trying a spring behind 4 bar set up. Both are kinda similar besides the 4 bar set up. I'm just trying to decide if...
