From this............ to this...........and it only took 7 years! Haha! The roadster is roadworthy! Drove it all around the neighborhood today. What a blast!! It has no VIN #, hasn't been certified by CHP, BAR or DMV but everything works and it runs like a raped ape! Scary fast...

Now that's ingenuity! I like it! Another option is O'reillys and AutoZones tool loaner program. They have one. Put down a deposit and bring it back when you're done (hopefully not broken)...

T-buckets are small and narrow. The seat in my roadster is 40" wide. It's out of a small mini bus. It was in the 'free' section of Craigslist. Think outside the box. Boat seat, theater seats, etc. The aforementioned Dodge mini van 3rd seat is a good choice also. Here's a...

2x4's are the way too go. Easy to make changes.

I have the HF 90lb pressure blaster. Piece 'o crap until................I modified it! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=207210

Nice, good thinking!

Agreed! Split the 'bones and pull a leaf or two outta the spring. That car is seriously channeled!

Yeah, it's localized. Free on CL but only in the North Bay Area in California. I know there's a few guys on here from this area so here they are. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/6019720968.html There are 3. They've been on CL for 3 days but I went by this morning and they're all still...

Instead of using the cheap hose clamps you buy at the local chain auto parts and hardware stores that tend to strip when you put to much torque on 'em..........try these. Next time you're at the local Pick-N-Pull mosey on over to the high end import section. Pop the hood on some BMW and...

Not good enough! Too much of a tease. Progress pics Must be posted!

Used to run this in my Mustang. Don't know the cfm but it pulls a ton of air and it's a monster! Came in '89-'9? Thunderbird Super Coupes. There's a lot of them in the Pick-n-Pull yards. Cost me $12.50 on half price day. Should cool your 394 in traffic, no problem!

Swap meet pedal assembly (mid-70's Camaro/El Camino) and '62 Chevy truck master in my '27 roadster. Works for me!

Both rear bun panels on my roadster are handformed using an '85 Chevy van hood, old washing machine and a Howell's lower bun panel. Numerous patch panels on the rest of the car are washing machine sheetmetal also.

Here's a neat little tip I found on getting the bend right the first time! Pretty simple and straightforward. Helpful 'cause I'll be bending up the lines on my roadster soon. Brakeline bending tip

Just picked up 4 of these for $65 shipped to my door. Yeah, they're made in the 'peoples republic' but most jack stands are nowadays. I like these because they're rated for 8000 lbs as opposed to most rated at 6000 lbs and the little feet add a bit of stability too.

I used '70s El Camino swing pedals on the roadster. Coupled them to a '63 Chevy truck dual master cylinder.

Yep, I'm in the process of getting the paperwork straightened out on a '54 Customline I just picked up. I won't even turn a wrench until I have the title and all proper paperwork in my grubby little hands. California has one of the worst DMV systems in the country! I knew a guy that built a...

My thoughts exactly!!!

Hasn't been outside in a year and a half. Thought I'd roll it out to get a better perspective on it's proportions. I think it looks alright. Found a cheap rollbar for a VW at the swap meet. Sliced it, diced it and made it fit. Got most of the bracketry fabbed. Got the cooling system...

Wetsand using vinegar or just rub it on?
