    Torque fest?

    It was neat seeing it on TV. People either love it or hate it. Not much gray area. It will be their again this year. Was trying to bring my new project a 1930 Willys sedan turned bucket but to much to do and not enough time. Hope to see a bunch of you there.

    Baddest rat rod around

    Hey guys the Willys is mine. I have some links on some threads if you look. If you are working with non turbo units that is a 912 series. Mine is a 913 series which means it is turbo charged from the factory so not aftermarket. Been a good runner. My Classic car just aired last years event...

    Cornfield Customs Ltd

    Mike is a great guy and does great work. Have not used him for a car but did a great job on some rolled signs and vinyl stickers. Also follow him on FB and seen his work. Top notch. http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=181787235179193&set=pt.180889755268941&theater...

    swaged steel tubes

    Depends on the application. I know different divisions of racing actually use them. They are not carrying the weight of the car. They are being pulled and pushed from the rotation of the wheels. Really would come down to the HP you running and tire size. If a mild build they should work...

    Crusin' Craigs

    I had always used www.allofcraigslist.com. That site sucks compared to this one. Thank you for sharing. Going to use this one from now on. BSW

    Rat Rod Magazine

    I have all of them except for the first one. Not much reading to be had. Which is a good thing. The mag is more about the visual aspect. Huge spreads and some of the best photography I have seen in any mag. Great to have on the coffee table for people to look at. Highly suggest buying...

    Rust Revival??

    Sam thanks for the feedback on my truck. We have to meet up sometime. Are you going to be at the next Torque Fest? Yeah I try to be on here more but work travel and kids activities are killing me. Winter is coming so more time in the garage and on here. Current plan is to hit Rust Revival...

    Find anything wrong here?

    For 45K think you would at least get carpet and speaker boxes not made out of plywood. At least cover them in aluminum like the head unit box. I am all for mis matching but when you brag about how much it costs just does not add up. BSW

    quartet elliptic springs up front

    My truck is setup with 4 quarter eliptical springs up front. I would still call it a suicide front end. Simple fact is if there is a failure you are going for a ride just like any suicde front end. I do not run shocks and mine travels fine down the road. I have to be on a really bad road to...

    46 Chevy 1.5 ton to laying frame!

    Very nice truck. I cringe everytime I see a thread start talking about IFS and fenderless. You have made a believer out of me that it can be done. Key thing is you have have to have someone with your dedication. Most just slap something together. Also 11 months on this build is great...

    what has everyone been using for brake pedal assemblies?

    I second Geo pedals. I had very limited space in the Willys. They are nice and tight yet usable. Very easy to adapt to mount on firewall. BSW

    Odessey mini batteries... anyone?!

    Has anybody used the ER 40? It has a deeper cycle. I am going to be running a compressor on the new project and need the reserve. Says 87 minutes at 25 amps which would work. I also have very limited space and was going to run 2 Optima 6 volts. This will work out better if they are good. BSW
