    Need bobber suspension expertise

    Obviously there are lots of ways to skin a cat, but some are just cleaner than others. ;) As far as I am concerned you simply cannot beat the look of a transverse sprung I-beam Ford front end. Properly set up they are more than capable of daily use at modern speeds (and more!). With the...

    Well aren't these special?!?

    Electrolines are hen's teeth for sure. More rare than E & Js and definitely look cooler. As far as the price, no hate. If it's what the market will bear, so be it. He's looking for the right guy, and he's out there somewhere. If I had a set I would cash in too...

    Basket case 27 coupe

    What I have found to be an easy fix for the windshield header on '26-27 closed cars is to just completely remove it and replace it with 1x1 tubing. Simple! It gains you a couple inches of glass and it fixes the "off" looking proportions of the stock unit. You can make it really easy and drill...

    Hellcat Prowler

    Would I do some donuts in it? Sure. Own it? Nah. All that work, but they still can't fix ugly.

    Pinion angle woes

    5 1/2 degrees is way too much - 3 down 3 up. Like Billy Dee says - Works every time... :cool:

    Need some opinions....

    Never ever EVER buy a chopped car that doesn't have glass installed. NEVER EVER. 99.99% of the time there are more than several reasons it isn't in. It just isn't worth taking a chance. Also like Don said, there are a lot of things on this car that are screaming "shortcut" and throw up red...

    Pain

    I highly suggest giving CBD oil a try! My wife has suffered from chronic pain for years, and after being on CBD gel caps for 6 months now she is nearly pain free AND sleeping better than she ever has. [cl Like others have said regulating your dosage takes a little trial, but it's not...

    30/31 project price?

    Not enough there to even call a Model A. It's a closed car cowling with no doors, scabbed to what looks to be what's left of some Sport Coupe quarters. I wouldn't haul it home, but if you need a value it's worth about $.06 a pound right now...

    Vega steering box... where to get one?

    Flaming River boxes are a little spendy but worth it. They are a quality product and made in the USA. Want a junk Chinese Speedway box? I have one that lasted about 500 miles before it locked up solid. I'll give it to ya. ;) I don't know about some folks, but steering is pretty...

    Burnout thread????

    Always best to practice first where nobody is watching. Especially if you're on two wheels... :D

    The cougar

    No worries man, takes a lot more than a unattractive wheel/tire combo to p*ss me off. ;) My point was that fads come and go, but classic styling is always cool. If funky big wheels are what your customer wants and he can't be convinced otherwise - so be it. You can lead a horse to water...

    The cougar

    I can. That doesn't look good. Big diameter wheels and low profile tires will never look right on a vintage vehicle to me. I'm not a restoration guy by any means, but era specific mods are way more tasteful and less fad-ish. My three cents...
