what about the motor?

anyone going to the old time drags and funny car reunion sunday at etown? i always try not to miss it.

i read only bits and pieces, if you can swing 220 in your work area go for a hobart handler 187 or 210. if you want the option of running a spoolgun on aluminum get the 210, if not get the 187. i paid 800 for my 210 when they first came out and it came with 100 bucks in accesories, not that i...

not to knock your friends or his sevice, but i was working on a strange project, i needed to drill a 1 1/2" hole in glass, i checked ebay and got the diamond bit i needed for less than 10 bucks shipped new, followed the directions and it worked like a charm.

i really wanted to run an ecotech in my essex, i could give 2 ****s about the sound, dont get me wrong i cant stand imports, but if the car would scoot along just fine and get good mileage id be happy, even if it sounded like a pack of angry bees. right now its got the original flathead 6 in...

welcome, ive got a 31 essex coupe, stocker though.

take the solenoig out and clean it out. look for any debris in it. i had to do this with my fresh out of the box hobart 210. i called the tech line and they told me to do it, unless of coarse i wanted to deal with sending it out and being with out it for a while so some one else could do the...

yeah... going by the other cars hes built in the past, i bet it will turn out cool, and definitely different. now that speed sport special is too cool.

no doubt the guy has skills, but that to me is like a waste of a nice coupe body. and why hide a hemi. just seems like a waste to me but whatever, im sure it will look good but i dont see how its going to work good. front wheels arent going to stay on the track. just build a f.e.d.

i never looked into the ages but thats the vibe i get. im going to be 28 but i can tel lthe difference in the little snot nose punks.

wasnt oil based rust oleum supposed to be off the shelf already?

2 nice examples. i want to put one in my essex, but they are a little too long. i just dont htink i can bring myself to chop out my firewall.

i got in touch with a guy from ruffrodders. he told me that right now they cant handle any mroe members. the server is at its limit or something and maybe in a few months they will be able to afford to step things up and allow mor emembers. i think in reality you just need to know the secret...

i sent you some links.

another nice cutting tool if you have any longer cuts is a circular saw with a steel cutting blade. the blades are pricey but almost no sparks flying around and a perfect cut.

good looking intake, i thought of using asmall ford in my car but really wanted an older looking intake, didnt seem liek any were out there. things like tight for the front carb and distributor. what carbs?

ther eis the 300 which is cast iron and had aluminum heads for a few years. it looks like a larger version of the aluminum 215/rover v8. you can swap heads, distributors and you can use the 300 crank to stroke the rover v8. but i dont think anything will swap over to or from the nailhead.

i find you get better resluts if you first weld a washer to the broken bolt then a nut to it. i usually go for the next size bigger on the nut and washer.

i didnt restore it, its an older paint job and interior redo. the rest is pretty much original. sat since the 70s in a container. i had the clutch relined, new tires, and a few other things. when i bought it the engine was in boxes and every bolt to every part the guy removed, broke. he couldnt...
