    Need suggestions for removal of broken bolt in alloy head

    Was removing the thermostat housing from the cylinder head (A12 engine) of my girlfriend's 1978 Datsun 120y and broke one of the bolts off (upper right one) in the alloy head. Had about 1/4 inch of the bolt sticking out of the bolt hole. Tried to undo it with a pipe wrench (Stillson type) and...

    46 Ford rusty cab, my first build

    Yeah I'm pretty new to it all too. I haven't really heard of any problems from using the panhard design, but in theory it just looks like it would pull the whole rear-end towards the chassis rail the bar is attached to. I could see that it would work well on oval track cars with the bar hung...

    46 Ford rusty cab, my first build

    Why not go with a Watts if you have the room? It will save expensive stress on your spring shackles/shock ends which will undo any advantages of having the pan bar in the first place. Have you estimated/calculated how much sidewards movement your design will have?

    46 Ford rusty cab, my first build

    I donno how panhard bars are supposed to do anything apart from limiting suspension travel\bending the crap out of chassis rails. Is there a way to put em in to stop them pulling the diff sideways etc etc that I've overlooked somewhere? They just don't seem logical to...

    give me some opinions on my 42 cab

    Before you cut the bottom off the doors can you please measure the outside area roughly (within 1/4 inch). From bottom of the door to the bottom of the window, from the rear of the door to the front of the door, and from the bottom of the door to the top of the door. Any ideas if they're the...

    40 Studebaker build pics

    Geez, those front wheels are hiding a bit deep in there, looks alright though. I was going to do a similar thing to the taillights of my 69 Chrysler Valiant, but i got sick of the car and sold it. Keep progressing man, it will be totally worth it in the end!
