So the add says: $1000 2 70’s model gmc trucks 1 older ford escort wagon (meh) 3 50’s models What is in this first pic. My eyes are getting bad.

2004 Tahoe z71 5.3 4x4: will not shift out of park. Shift interlock solenoid seems to be working. Shift lever works and can disconnect shift cable at trans and shift by hand well but it’s like it won’t engage gear. Happened a couple times randomly then just suddenly won’t do anything. Rear end...

Ok, don’t know why it won’t load any pics from my phone. I’ll try from my computer later. 5 acres of cool stuff. If you’re looking for anything in particular let me know. I’ll keep an eye out. Such a random array of stuff but 1940’s through 70’s cars, trucks, buses, and he has a lot of old...

I fabbed a grill from a scrap rear hatch (not sure what it’s from), but I noticed most that have a rear hatch seems to have the same general shape. Going to look cool once painted and stainless rods set in there.

May have to save this idea for a different project, but I was wondering if anyone is or has used an airplane throttle in their hot rod? It would be awkward at first but I'm sure you would get used to it and it would look cool if your going with an aircraft theme. Also, same applies to using a...

I saw an article on this and it didn't look too difficult so I gave it a try. Saved at least 50% from buying a new one and you can build this exact to your application. I'm going to notch in some cups since I'm running airbags, but you could really take it any direction you want. I used my handy...

Guess its time to start a build thread. Here we are getting the body off the frame.

I have read that it is okay for air bags to be mounted at different angle on too and bottom... But it kind if bugs me. I came up with a design that might work well with the sleeve bags (can same space too). In this design the bags can be mounted parallel and be level at the bags intended ride...

I've been researching this and only seems that off road vehicle use this. Can this work for a street rod with an I beam axle up front? In theory ( in my head) it seems like it would be a good thing but I don't have a degree in mechanical engineering. Check out my pic... If it works. I also have...

Well, I think my father in law is sick of me using his equipment I finally went out and bought some new equipment for the business whih will allow me to do a LOT more in house. Miller 211 auto set and a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52 plasma cutter. I had to get them on credit but they should pay...

The Delco-Lovejoy front and rear shocks on my Desoto are not seized at all and are in great shape. I've seen a place called Apple Hydraulics that will rebuild them for $165 (for the models I have) and for an extra $10 each they will use parts to beef them u quite a bit. Had anyone come across a...

So I mentioned putting a Dodge 270 Hemi in the '31 Desoto. Its got the Red Ram balve covers and he says its a 331 but the numbers im researchig are coming back 270. Either way its a true Hemi. It's frešhly rebuilt with all new rebuilt parts. All it lacks is an intake, carb and headers. I...

I found this 1970 F100 at the scrap yard. Everyone says the sure fire way to see if its a ford 9" to try to fit a socket on the bottom 2 carries nuts and if you can't it's a 9"... But this one has the tag and the numbers on te tag are saying its an 8 or 8.7 with 3.50 gears but the part code...

Saw some super cheap new parts over on eBay that are in the Silver Panther Performance store. Their I-beam axles are really cheap but I'm wondering if they are just that..... Really cheap? They haven't answered my questions yet and wondered if anyone has purchased anything from them or if you...

I was doing a little research and stumbled across the w-27 olds rear and I looked awesome. Come to find out they are super rare and super expensive. I did notice there is a w-27 cover for Olds 10 and 12 bolt. Its still a bit expensive if i can find a w30/ w31/ w32 rear but about $7500.00 cheaper...

Gathering parts and ideas for my next build, a 1929 4 door Desoto. Wante something I can fit the family in. I've already picked up an early Mopar steerig box and have a buddy that's going to machine me some cool parts to do the cowl steering set up. I also want to run the hood with no sides...

Hey old friends, its been a while but I'm back. I sold my 46 International last year to get my own shop for my custom art and things have been blowing up. I don't have a lot of "extra" time these days but I found a new project that I've been looking at for years now and finally talked th owner...

I need some help identifying it though. There are two numbers on it. In three different places it says 75770 and in one spot it has an " n " in front. The other number says u 28423 with a "2" below that. Any ideas what model and/or year on this. My neighbor came over and gave it to me.

Last time my buddy and I set the timing on my sbc 350 (early model) my vacuum advance was hitting the intake so we couldn't get the advance high enough. We moved the wires over one counter clockwise and got it set right. I just built this motor and had to fix an oil leak on the rear seal of the...
