Nice start! Anxious to see more........

Hello from another fellow Houstonian. Several big events coming up. Legends Nostalgia Drags in Sealy, Lonestar Round up in Austin and the Hot Rod Hoedown in Waller.

X2!

You ain't kidding! That was a couple of Trey's paychecks right there. We can't believe how it changed the truck from "Friendly Neighborhood Hot Rod" to "Makes Children Cry" with just a tire change!

We found a youtube video on how to mount tires using a plastic trash bag and man did it make it easy to mount a tire at home!

While we are waiting on a new set of wheels I thought I would post some teaser shots!

Quick update. Trey is getting ready for the Hotrod HoDown and the Round-Up so he bought some Firestones for the front and Firestone Cheater Slicks for the back. As soon as he get them mounted we'll post a pic or two. He got a job as an apprentice electrician so he's got some coin in his pocket!!

Can you get a bonded title in Mi?

I worked in a machine shop where the owner taught me how to get broken bolts out. Center punch the bolt. File flat if you need to. Drill with a small 1/8" or smaller bit gradually increasing size. Most of the time the bolt will spin on the bit as you get to larger sizes. Now I use left...

Check this out. It's also a WORK truck and it's not even finished yet!

Here is the BEFORE! The AFTER! Notice the smile on the driver's face. And this is why it took so long! The '64 Buick Wildcat!!!

That's great news! If you want to email me some pictues send them to [email protected] and I'll post them for you

From appearances only it looks like the 9" carrier. I have an 8" in my son's truck and the pinion carrier does not extend down that low obstructing the two nuts underneath it. The 9" takes a wrench to get to those nuts.

Looks to me like you got the proportions right on!
