    Proportioning Valve??

    So the brake booster/master cyl kit that I bought came with it's own proportioning valve. I didn't notice until today, but there are two out ports for the front brakes (disc/drum setup). Anyone know if I have to "use" both ports or can I just use the one for both front disc with a t-splitter...

    When I got home there was a box waiting for me from Speedway...I ordered the wiring harness on Friday...afternoon at that. So we're starting off this review with an A+ so far. The discount from Rebel Wire was tempting, but I went with Speedway for two main reasons...Price and the fact that...

    KMJ Performance

    There is a HAMB'er working in the same shop row as me. He has some type of Olds that he's been working on for a while now. He stopped by last night while I was working on my IHC and asked if I knew anything about KMJ Performance. I told him I didn't...appreantly they really ripped him off...

    Anyone ever build a belly tanker and actually race it? I've got a wild hair and I'm going to build something to race some day and I really dig the belly tanker design.

    Eastwood Bead Roller

    I needed a bead roller to do the firewall and floor pans. I've used Eastwood in the past and I've gotten good (not great) products from them. Like most of us here I don't have $500 - $1000 for a high end bead roller that I'm not going to use that much. I ordered and got the bead roller from...

    Shaping Sheet Metal

    If you take a look at the picture the piece in my hand and the upper part of the a-pillar have a lot of damage that was repaired with lead.

    Ford 9" Offset

    Just curious how those of you that use ford 9 inchers in your builds deal with the offset. Do you center the pinion or the housing? I know most of the cars that rolled off the lines in Detroit had a drive shaft that was off center at the rear.

    37 IHC Build

    I guess this is the start of my build thread on RRR. I got the cab a while ago and started working on the chop. I had some problems getting it level so I stopped working on the cab and started building the frame. I took 4" out of the top and I'm going to leave the bottom alone. The ride...

    Welding on a custom frame

    I have a 2x4x 3/16 frame that I've tacked together. My question is would it be better to "lay" the frame rails on my frame table, clamp it down and do all the welding? Or should I "stand" them up, tack in the crossmembers then do all the welding? I'm thinking if I lay the pieces down I can...
