here is a post i found and made a template on plywood then took the template to my buddies shop and cut the pattern out of 2x4 tubing. open the file from post #5. for the radius at the front instead of heating the end and rolling it over i cut a piece of 2" round and welded it in the end and...

thank you for the input.

i am looking at buying my master cylinder and i see while looking through the parts catalog that they come in either 1" or 1 1/8" bore. i am using front drums off a 53-56 f100 and a s-10 rear with drums. what would be the best choice? i dont plan on using a booster. thanks shockley.

have you had a chance to run your radiator? i was also looking at a couple on ebay and they looked to be pretty decent quality and wanted to hear from someone that tried one. which company did you go with? thanks Shockley

tack welded my chassis last weekend and installed my front suspension pieces to check my ride height with the motor, trans and cab sitting on the suspension. my ride height is 1/2" above the scrub line @ 7 1/2" off the ground with a 6" z in the front. my question is, will the spring settle...

if you go to the H*** forum and do a search for "homemade electronic fuel injection" a ton of stuff will come up on this type of setup. one guy used the GSXR throttle bodies and PCM was from mega squirt. pretty cool idea!

thanks sawzall, thats what i thought and i was planning on the fish plates. just need a second opinion sometimes.

i am using 2x4x3/16 for my frame rails and am laying everything out and cutting out the pieces this weekend. my question is, when i step the front rails at the firewall how much overlap do i want in the rails when i stack them? i was thinking 6" but i want to make sure before i start cutting...

drawing up my chassis and building a mocup from 2x4 wood. how much clearance from the axle housing to the bottom of my frame should i figure? i want to keep as much room in the bed of the truck as i can get without the chassis bottoming out on the rearend over bumps. thanks Scott.

ya i had to work the road closer for the cruise tonight. didnt see many cars during the day down there but had a few for the cruise, it was over early though. ya i will be heading down in the morning to see what is there at the swap meet. i think i will be heading down around 10:30 ish. alot of...

man Mike i wish i had you patience, those holes take forever. i want to drill my frame and wishbones. dont want to take the time but will probably be upset if i dont. Looks good!!:D

these old Cal Custom valve covers were givin to a coworker that is building a 68 nova. he is lookin for a different style and asked if i wanted them, i loved the style so i grabbed them up. my question is what to do about not having breather holes in them? i know i will need to find an intake...

got my front hubs and brakes delivered last week ( f100 ) and plan on mocking up the front end this weekend so i can get a measurement on the width so i can look for a rearend and start my chassis. the truck came with the original pink slip i got the vin verification done and then got a...

i was not going to go either but like you said just enough "new" cars to get me there. one in particular was the Nash with the blown small block built by a local guy, i am sure you know who i am talking about. i dont think he knows how to build anything that isnt "cool".

Damb, i forgot about that swap meet. i new it was coming up. i could have baught some goodies and seen my son all in the same weekend. instead i stay home go to the car show and get sun burnt seeing alot of the same cars as every year. that gas pedal will look good in your truck,perfect style.

man that looks good!

IAM-LDS-2 thank you, that is what i was looking for. is your spring a mono leaf or multi leaf? thanks scott

it was suggested that i reword my question here to try and get a more accurate measurement to my question so i will do my best here. i am using a dropped i-beam axel with a reversed eye spring and it will be mounted spring over. it will be in a fenderless rod with a sbc. can someone with...

well looks like i have over thinking some things trying to measure things out. i understand the scrubline but the way you explain setting things up make it easier to visualize and get a better end result. looks like i better locate those f100 hubs i have been trying to find so i can mount my...

bet it catches a few by surprise!!!
