First time building a car completely. Custom frame, air bags, etc. Using a TH350 for transmission. This is a newly rebuilt transmission (no fluid in it). I'd read anywhere from 9-11 quarts on a completely empty trans. I'd poured a quart in the torque converter prior to stabbing it in the...

Running all my new lines using the nickel/copper alloy 3/16" line. I have run into a snag going from the one line from the master cylinder to the "T" that splits between the two calipers. The "T" has a female inverted flare fitting (IFF) and the 15" rubber line from the output of the...

I have a 97 Firebird rear end going into my 29 Model A. Its a great width but now that I am doing the calipers, they are going to hit the body in the factory location. I unbolted the mounting plate, in order to rotate it down and out of the way, only to find there is only one way to mount...

I have built a frame using 2x3x3/16 tubing. I am at that point where I am trying to decide what kind of master cylinder to use and where to put it. Throughout the build, I was just thinking simple under the car, pedal arm all inclusive, frame mounted one like my 32 Ford had. My issue is that...

Who has/sells a decent wiring harness that has tech support. I've done 12 volt stuff for 20+ years, but not wired a complete car. I dont feel it'll be an issue, but I am looking to purchase a decent kit for my model A sedan rat rod. VERY bare bones car (lights, coil, radio, electric fan, fuel...

I bought a set of 28-48 spindles from SAE-Speed (https://www.sae-speed.com/products/1928-1948-ford-straight-axle-round-spindle-with-king-pin-kit-bushings-installed?_pos=4&_sid=36dba63d3&_ss=r). I couldnt find anywhere from them what size bearings to get for the typical GM import 80's front hub...

I've been looking at a reverse Corvair box for my setup (kinda makes the most sense for my build). Is there any other options for that style box? Like some out there, I am building on a budget. Steering is something I dont want to skimp out on, but just curious if there is another avenue for...

First rat rod. 1929 Model A Sedan. I built my frame from 2x3x3/16" tubing. Next step is doing the radius rod rear mount. I've read about the 4-7 degree tilt back on the front axle at ride height. I have the rear axle done to be able to square everything up. Anything else I may need to...

Dont know if this is the correct section, but here goes: Been a while since I've played with the straight 6 stuff. Just bought a 250ci out of a 66 Chevy truck. Looking to mate a 350 turbo to it. The whole shootin' match is going in my 29 Model A sedan. Which flex plate, torque converter, and...

A couple questions. I am doing a 29 Model A sedan. I am building my own frame from 2x3x3/16" tubing. Doing air bags in all four corners. Rear seems easy, doing a triangulated 4-bar. My question wanders around the front end. Those that have built them. What caster angle do y'all set yours...

Hi kids. Looking to build my own frame for my 1929 Model A Sedan. I want to do air bags in all four corners. Drop axle in the front. Something simple. What I need from all y'all is pictures and ideas. I'm a fairly decent wrench but building my first frame. I have the whole frame, but it looks...

Getting ready to adventure onto the rat rod arena. Background includes great grandmother's 72 Chevelle (nothing fancy, 350/2bbl/with air). Motorcycling for the last 15 years, including KTM off road, to HDs, to Goldwing touring. This thing followed me home about a month ago. Waiting for the...
