I did a search on pinion angle and didn't find an answer to my question, hence a new thread.... I have the car up on jack stands such that the body appears to be level on the stands (when measured on the top of the rocker panel... just to give me a zero reference). When I check the tailshaft...

Who was at Niftee 50ees Show this Saturday (May 9)? Saw a couple of nice rats - I know I've seen them on the website but don't recall who the proud owners are...

I am still working on my trunk lid. I got a 6" strip welded in up on top and was very careful to skip around, cool the welds, etc. to avoid warpage. I was successful doing that... So I go to grind the welds down (used a MIG), and used an 80 grit flap wheel on my 4.5" grinder. I jumped around...

I am curious if anyone knows the proper sequence for the use of body filler. I am using an epoxy primer after I take it down to the metal.... So do I put body filler and glaze on top of the epoxy primer or underneath on the bare metal. I have been told that epoxy is good for corrosion...

Hey!! I've posted enough nonsense to make it to Senor Member.!!;)

One of my upcoming projects on the money pit is to peak the hood. Figured on using round bar tack welded w/ Mig, then smooth in to hood contour with either lead or a low temp solder. Question is which would be best, most durable and easiest not to screw up. I have never worked lead, so I...

So I've been following Hoitink's 50 Chevy build pretty regular. There's some good stuff on there that I can use on my '49 build. I know he's got a good following here on the Rat..... So I figured I'd throw it out there - what are your favorite build threads - and I'm not talking just the...

Ok, I am a very inexperienced welder. I asked this question on another thread, but figured I'd start a new thread on the subject.... The comment was made by a couple of rodders that they keep cold water ready when welding sheet metal to cool the welds to avoid distortion and warpage. I have...

I have to share my New Year's Day experience with the clan.... My son got a new bike for Christmas so I figured I'd adjust the front brake, right? It has a disc brake on front - not the old traditional pads. So I was going to turn the bike upside down to work on it. I grabbed the front fork...

I'm working on getting this heap. It has been on our place since it was bought in the 1920's. Converted to a "pick-up" back in the war. Used to be a touring sedan. I am thinking about replacing the wood bed w/ a decent bed, channeling a bit, lowering and trying to get the 4 banger going...

We picked this car up as a father/son project for $1400 after it would not sell on eBay. The guy wanted over $3000. It has been a lesson in frustration, satisfaction, enjoyment and busted knuckles. Hope to have it running some day. Getting closer..... Here are a few "before" pictures of the...

ok, so I'm a newbie. Interesting, I read Kenzie's post and had the EXACT SAME THING happen to me on HAMB. Go figure..... Glad you guys are here. I have a '49 Chevy Styleline I have been fighting for about 4 years and also working on getting a '28 Model "A" (avatar picture). I made the...
