    Three Strikes and your OUT

    Upon Further review, I think there must be some plumbing missing that runs from the bottom of the carb to the turbo....Yes? Spoon

    Three Strikes and your OUT

    I just don't see how this is gonna work. The inlet side of the turbo is open. What are you blowing into? I don't see a hat on top of the carb. If this is a draw thru, the carb needs to get drawn into the turbo. If it is a "Blow through" carb setup, you need to blow through the top of the...

    Hard Pedal, Poor Braking Performance - Manual Drum Brake Setup

    You could change the pedal ratio by lowering the MC in the bracket and lowering the rod on the pedal by the same amount.

    Custom or Original Frame

    I, too, am building a 40 Ford cab pickup. I like the looks of a 4 inch chop. I also like the look of a 60" bed with the wheels in the center front to rear. The channel probably won't be much more than four inches. I bought a parallel rear leaf spring kit and frame stiffener kit (Center of...

    We've lost another great rocker.....

    Leon Russell was a mentor and an inspiration to Elton John. I had the good fortune to see Leon a few times over the last few years. He played this tiny place in Norfolk Connecticut call "Infinity Hall". It seats maybe 200 people. It has the most amazing acoustics. Built in 1883 as an opera...

    steering boxes that DONT need reversing?

    Cowl steering I think a Ford courier steering box from the 70/80s will work as a cowl steering box that does NOT need to be reversed

    Short bobber frame

    I'm new here too. I have gone through MANY pics of rat trucks. I finally decided what I like. You need to decide what YOU like style wise and go from there. I have a four inch dropped front axle I am putting in my 41 ford pickup. Do you like the suicide style? Full fender? Open wheel...

    40 ford PU cab chop

    Just saw a pic of Honest Charley's 41. That is a WHOLE lot like I'm gonna end up with. Gotta have that plan. I see the way the cab is riding on the chassis, level at the bottom. Wonder what year grill that is? I think 3 97's will look about right Thanks for the pics and ideas! Spooner[;)

    40 ford PU cab chop

    This is a side view. I have two cabs. Was gonna use one for parts. I like the look of the whole cab and bed raked forward a little. But with rake built into the roof line already, I am thinking it will look out of place. Tripper, I do like the looks of your cab. Do you have any side view pics...
