Yesterday, I helped my brother load up an old truck project from his former farm. I think it's a '59 Ford two ton in nice shape. I personally like the square body Fords. We saw a bear eating oats out of a broken granery. Today, we got the engine out of one of my sheds for it, and the...

I agree with you Bob, it's a Wisconsin V4 out of a swather, and air cooled. I also agree with FBP, --- WHY. It has 37 horsepower, which isn't enough to pull your hotrod along on the highway. I suppose you'd get a few points for being 'unique', but you'd loose a few more for taking the 'hot' out...

Gene, your music guy did have a good point. Making things look 'factory' is an art form. Be proud of your artistry. I have spent weeks making something and then even more time making it look like I never touched it. Quite a few guys on here have that talent. Keep on tinkering.

Thank You, guys. I found one more picture in a different file. It's a '57 Monarch Turnpike Cruiser.

Welcome to Undead Sleds, from northern Alberta. These guys have a good point, get something that you can drive reasonably soon and then start on your big project. For me, building is the main attraction, but it's still nice to drive something old once in a while. Good luck.

There are a couple of stories to tell. Yes, that is my black Fairlane and the Judges thought it looked nice too. They gave me a trophy. Second place for Classic cars. Also, there is a grey '51 Ford pick-up in the line-up, well, I went to high school with the owner of that truck and he was...

Right on, that is a big milestone passed.

Here are more cars from our Spring Spectacular show.

Another year went by and there was another season opener, Spring Spectacular.

Amazing, OI. Thank You.

I'm going to vote with Snopro on this topic. We have an old car forum here and we can stray a wee bit from that but politics and religion are topics that are a way off -- too far off to mention here.

I'm not the type of guy that puts a SBC in every hotrod, so here's what I've been doing this past week. The bad motor that came in my '56 Fairlane was just lying around the shop in pieces collecting dust and getting in the way, so I took the short block to town again and said to my man 'fix it...

I've had two different things that showed the same symptoms as you have. One; a bad coil will heat up and cut power badly, and then whatever you fix or change, [even circling your car a few times cursing] will let the coil cool down and away you go for a while again. Two; the little wire from...

Welcome to Undeadsleds, from northern Alberta. I will be following your progress excitedly, because I have a '29 Model A in my line-up future.

I can add to the spam; I have a place in my tool chest for my homemade stuff. There are quite a few bent wrenches and I use them once in a while, so NO throwing things away. Anyway, Here's a picture of my pedal setup, bolted in for [hopefully] the last time. It might not be wise to say exactly...

The picture is of the afore mentioned bent wrench holding a bolt head and working. I have the pedal assembly bolted in there and most of the things worked out. But, when I climbed up into the cab and went to step on each of the pedals, Whoooboy, they both hit the wide old motor partway down. The...

Don't lend me your wrenches! pic one, is how I bent a brand new wrench, [a cheap one, Power Fist], to fit bolt heads inside the boxed in frame.

You're doing fine, carry on.

Bama, I have been using Ultra Flat Camouflage Dark brown hide the rough stuff. I've now got the little actuating arm made and fine tuned and mounted. Pics one and two are the little arm and pic three is the pedal system completed, filled with brake fluid and bench bled. I sold an old truck to my...

Welcome to the RRR site, from northern Alberta. I'm looking forward to seeing your 'build thread' on here.
