Haven't been on here in a while. Still building weird stuff. Kei truck with C5 vette suspension and a supercharged LS in it (drove it to TX from NH), 61 Rambler wagon on a late model stock car chassis etc.

Here is what about 11 of my friends and 3 strangers came up with in about 40 hours time. We thrashed on this 06 Chevy express van school bus that I got for $800. We chopped 55" out of the middle, added 2 $199 Ebay turbos, decapped the injectors, put a Walbro 450 pump in an impala SS fuel tank...

This site has all kinds of info on wiring harness modifications, schematics etc on doing an LS swap. Or just shoot me a message as I'm about 32 swaps in at the moment. Lol http://lt1swap.com/2000harness.htm

Soo...I really should stay off the interwebs...Lol While cruising the marketplace I found this and drove 4.5 hours to NY to buy it. As near as I can figure it's a Devin Special kit car from the Devin company. They were around from 57-64. The "Special" bodies were usually made for racing but a...

I haven't forgotten about you guys. Life's just been hectic and over jammed. Let's see... what have I been up to... -haven't touched the 50 GMC in like 2 years -Chevelle hasn't moved in 12 years -Datsun hasn't moved in 4 years (engine machine work is all done) -sold the COE -sold the 64 chevy...

So I graciously said "sure store it at my place!" Lol We've since been throwing everything on the rollers!http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=136600&d=1507663083 http://www.ratrodsrule.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=136601&d=1507663083

finishing up this swap...91 Volvo 940 wagon from CA, 6.0L LS motor with square port heads, nasty cam, 4L80 trans and a ford 8.8 rear...[cl Click on this last pic for sound...

So this saga started yesterday at 11 am. Due to severe thunderstorms in Atlanta my flight out was delayed, delayed again and finally cancelled at 6 pm. Rescheduled for a 7 am this morning only to find it has been delayed until 235pm...That puts me into Atlanta with only 34 min to make my...

I'm pretty sure I have the issue knocked down to cheap Chinese alloy with impurities but thought I would ask before I scrapped the parts. I went to weld up some 3" aluminum intercooler piping and was having a heck of a time getting it to actually weld. It was customer supplied (issue #1)...

Soo...A.D.D. at it's best. 54 chevy that will be sectioned 4" (hence picking a photo that is already sectioned) but the chassis I want to use has a 104.5" wheelbase. 49-54 chevy cars had a 115" wheelbase. The chassis is not an easy one to just add 10" +/- to due to the design of the drive train...

So after searching long and hard for 3 years I finally landed a Uni-Hydro 42-14 sls ironworker. It doesn't look like it has much time on it. Best part is I got it for $1500! [cl

In my day job I come across all sorts of ways the human race decides to stop participating in the experiment called life. Saturday I did a vehicle inspection on two vehicle from an accident where the passenger of a Tacoma was crushed by a 3500 dodge cummins. The week before was an elderly man...

I'm going to post this in here because it kinda covers a few topics and didn't seem to fit in any one thread. A while back I got a 52 Chevy COE, then sold it and now own it again (it never actually moved from my yard). I have since sold the ramp truck I was going to use for a body so now it's a...

So I got given an engine hoist by an old friend of my fathers...He's 86 years old and I think we both knew I had no use for it but it helps him clean out his yard. Anyways it needs a good sanding and paint, 1 caster wheel and I will throw in a like new cylinder from my hoist (I went to an air...

So apparently I have an illness...no sooner had I sold my C2500 6.0L swap back to my son that I found this from CA with a blown motor. Assemble said spare 6.0L L92 headed texas speed stage 3 cammed spare parts motor and a 4l80e I had kicking around and it's on again!

So this followed me home. 1962 chevy c10. pretty solid over all. no engine, 4 speed, the rest of the nose is in the bed. Needs a couple patches, drivers fender, engine

Baileigh was offering up 25% off on their 4' magnetic sheet metal brake. I have been lusting after one for some time now and have seen zero for sale used. In my mind, and how I explained it to my wife, is that I am saving space in my crowded shop by replacing 2 units with 1 unit that can do even...

So I have a complete C5 Corvette chassis again. Frame, all suspension, diff, 6 speed and torque tube. I have plenty of LS motors that can power it. But my A.D.D. is kicking in and I want to skin it in aluminum like a Can Am race car (only it would be front engine) and drive it around. Is this...

So I've been squirreling a nice little stack O cash for when I want to really get busy on one of my projects (read - buy another project) when out of the blue a guy calls me from a couple towns away. He asks if I still have the dropped I beam front end with the Pete and Jakes hair pins...Yes I...

Does anyone on here have a blueprint or dimensions of the 32 spline output shaft for the GM transmissions IE: th400, 4l80e, 6l80/90e, T56 etc? I need to have a rotary broach made for an internal spline and figured I would ask before I started measuring. I need OD, spline taper and ID (bottom of...
