Sorry for your loss Jim, our prayers are with you.....Terry & Lee

McGiver, we are going to put some kind of either perforated metal or cut slots in the hood, or make some kind of grill. Don't want to do louvers, don't perticularly like them. Still trying to decide what type of "suttle" application for that. Bob, if we do take it for a ride, it will need snow...

more progress today, we got the oil pan dished for clearance on the axel. Seems like not much but it is about 1 inch deep, but still just touching the windage tray. Got the steering box mounted and the radiator in spot, every thing clears, the steering on the suspension, and the radiator on...

Well, we ordered all sorts of parts from speedway, got them Wednesday. Put the headers on the motor and got the motor and transmission in the hole for fitment. The motor is pretty high in the cavity, but is going to fit in really nice with just a little tweeking of the oil pan. The hood fits...

V8square, the tires and wheels are hoosier drag radial P275/60R 15 8 x 15 Wheel and 4 inch back space. The wheels are "smoothies" from Coker tire. The metal the tubs are made of is 18ga. cold roll. Bob, Nooooo, we want to see your shining face often, and you are never in the way, always glad...

Got the wheel well tubs made today and installed...what more could a guy want, tubs and big tires, and a back seat, sort of. Moving to the front of the car next.

V8square, nice wagon, your build is comming along nicely, frame suspension looks really good.

We picked up a used rear end out of a F150 pick up truck, narrowed it 20" had a local guy respline the axels, got them back this weekend. That will be put back together this week. Next will be the wheel well tubs. It will be nice to have a rolling chassis again.

The car was pretty rust free, we even got the original chassis to unbolt from the body with no bolts breaking off. Didn't want the "yard art" so we took it to a swap meet and sold it for$150.00 to a guy who had a fiberglass body of an MG. along with the motor which was all apart. Everyone was...

Thanks, Bob, for posting pics of the build. I have a few before pics to add also. We are going to put a 350 with a 350 turbo transmission.

Just thought I would post the final of this henry J thread as one of the followers of the thread who came by and checked out the progress decided he had to have it and bought it in the shape it is in right now. he plans on continuing on, but I thought I would put pics of what it is right...

take a drill the size of the line drill the line out of the bracket, pull it out, go to the parts store, get a line that size. It is either 5/16 or 3/8, clean the bracket well. Bend the line in an "L" braze or solder it in the bracket, cut the line at a slight angle 1/2 inch shorter than the...

Happy Birthday Bob!!!!

I have pro-comp cylinder heads from Skip White on my 29 studebaker. The car is on it's second season of drag racing and is street driven. The car has ran 137 mph in the quarter mile at 6600 rpms. The only problem I had was some cold water leaks from the head gaskets when the motor was first...

all the way clockwise would be park. To check it put your drive shaft in the tail shaft and twist it, it should click into park.

I t sounds like you got the hoses hooked up backwards, try switching them around. I have heard of this happening before.

Under that old Crosley body of Bob's is a very trick racecar. With this drag race stuff the faster you go the more safety equipment you have to have so Bob likes to run 1/8 mile. Rules start getting real tuff at 6.50 sec, so Bob and I like to run around that number in the 1/8 wich equals about...

I remember once rebuilding a quadrajet and when I took it apart it had a self tapping fitting where the fuel filter goes and I believe they sell that fitting at Napa. Try them first before getting a new carb. 'tator

Ratcrazy- Look at #5 picture in Bob W's on the 31 chev post...There is 1/4"x2" wide pieces of steel straping that is welded to top and rolls around the end back to the bottom, welded back to the botom and both ends of the round tubing. In the way you have shown, the round tubing is not strong...

The 2 link suspension Bob W showed on the 31 Chev uses 78-79 monty carlo front bushings for the trailing arms, they pound in tight in 2 in exhaust pipe welded in the front . It takes 1/2 in bolts. Tubing is 2 x 3 3/16 with 3/4 to 0 slot cut out of the center welded back together, makes them...
