For you guys that can make it to Louisville,KY. It's always worth it. May 25th.

Thanks for posting El Polacko. I drooled over your jig table build on that other site.(among all your other projects)

I like the LS series of engines. I live a couple hours north of Bowling Green,KY where they have the Holley LS fest in the fall. Last year I went just learn more about these engines. With all the new aftermarket parts and computer stuff available for them you can build a beast that makes huge...

I am mostly a lurker here but I will be watching your Jag installation with interest. My corn binder is a '41 and I just got done boxing my rear rails too. I'm still trying to decide on rear end and suspension but am swaying towards an 8 in Ford with an triangulated 4 link. Already did the front...

Oldschool64, I'm across the river west of New Albany. Good looking truck. I lurk more than post here but I'm building a '41 International P.U.

It may come to that. The welding is no problem. I just want them to spin nice and true and don't know if I can achive that.

I have some crown vic 17" steel wheels I want to have the centers cut out and the back spacing changed. Can anybody suggest a shop that does this? I'm in the midwest near Louisville,KY.

Great looking work. I did a Fox body car in the late '80's for the street only. I used a six point roll bar kit from Chris Alston. I put together a 514 from a speed-o-motive kit and a turbo 400 with adapter and a 3000 stall conv. At the time I raced sprint cars and I used to mount all the used...

Do you have any leftover IH front sheet metal you aren't going to be using?

I have a lead repair to work around on my '41 binder. I'm not sure how I'm going to work around it. You know it's old body work when you uncover lead. If you were to melt the lead and brush it away it would seem to me you still couldn't weld the steel parts due to lead tinning. I'm open to...

Nice looking work. I like the use of cross steer. Is all the frame/suspension design just come out of your head, fabricate as you go?

I wanted artillery wheels for my '41 corn binder but they wern't in the budget. I ended up with crown vic cop car wheels. $ 76 ea. on evil bay. They are 17x7.5 114.5 mm bolt circle. With a set of spidercaps I think they will look pretty good. Sorry, no pics yet. The crown vic wheels are "holy"...

I like the Jackal! I live 25 minutes from the fairgrounds and I feel your pain on the cookie cutter street rods. I go to look at the swap meet and buy tools or stuff for my build that I want to see in person before I buy. I'm thinking about borrowing my neighbors '80 Ford Fairmont four door...

Nice job. I have a '74 Ironhead I've owned for 21 years.

Bobw, I'm sure glad to see you are going "period correct", that's important. You sure came up with a pic of those plaid pants fast. Shame there's not enough room in that cab for a disco ball.

Great looking progress Bob. I think instead of dying the tacky looking seats go to a yard sale and find some polyester pants to match. You'll be the talk of the car cruise.

Bob, I have a question about your M II installation. I just bought a M II front end complete from a salvage yard, looks just like the picture of yours on the first page of this great thread. How do you ascertain you have the top spring hats correct for the anti dive? I'm using mine on a '41...

Neat ideas. That LS1 combo is going to move that big sled smartly down the road. What kind of rear end/suspension you planning?

You go ahead and take the cute one. I'll take Bertha. Good looking sled.

I have been shopping for a lift. I have poured over all the threads I can find about two post and four post on about all the usual sites with threads about lifts. Can't make up my mind yet. Neighbor has a two post Rotary. Good quality and we are an hour from the factory. Either one is a...
