>> Rub against the metal My thoughts exactly, that's really the main reason I'm hesitant in running them inside the frame. Plus, I'll be doing the work and I'd want to keep an eye on it to make sure everything is working properly. Sid

Hi All, I’ve yet to construct the frame but I’m thinking ahead on how I want to run the brake lines to the rear of my truck. The clean look of running them through the frame sounds appealing but how does one go about this with rigid brake line. Do you have to insert the brake line into the...

Thought I'd share a few pictures from this weeks Oldies but Goodies Drags at Woodburn, OR. Sid

I will need to move to a small cave to afford the habit.

I’m not even close to finishing my first build and I’m already thinking about other projects I want to do. I think my wife needs a rat, I want to build a vintage style dragster, and I’ve even been thinking about a streamliner running a flathead. Is there a cure for this? Sid

Awesome, thanks for the picture. pistolpete - great idea too. I think I'll give this setup a try. If nothing else it will be a good learning experience. Sid

Check out this chain steering setup on a 263mph streamliner. Now this one is crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXaKLbIACB0 Sid

Build your own Bomber seats - Part 2 I don’t think I’m German but I have a tendency to over engineer things. I know that I want these seats to be safe so I started welding together metal framework that supports the bottom, sides, and back. To this I’ll be able to attach a seat mount for them...

First off, Bob Villa sucks. OK, that’s a little harsh and maybe I’m just jealous of all the equipment he has but in any episode I’ve watch, where he’s bending wood, he makes it look so easy. After reading another post that had a few pictures of WWII bomber style seats I decided to make my own...

I worked on plywood bomber seats I decided to make my own plywood bomber seats. The first few pictures are of the jig I make to form the backrest, and the third is of one seat partially assembled. I've done more work on them over the weekend and have just about finished up the metal support...

Cool, another Oregonian on the site. Where are you located? BTW, nice bomber seat. What would you charge me to make a pair of them for my truck? Over and out, Sid

Well, I didn't get as much done as I was wanting but I did cut out a stencil and paint the signage on my doors. Over and out, Sid

Post up or send me a pic and I'll be glad to add one. Sid

OK, I had to play in photoshop as well. Nice car. Sid

Not that I'm any "legitimate" mechanic but what I have learned is if you think you have a cracked head/blown head gasket is to check your radiator and see if the water is frothy and or contains any oil. What condition where the spark plugs in when you changed them? Check this site out, which...
