Been trying for weeks to logon and just keep getting 'this site can't be reached'. Can anyone else access it or is it just me? I've got the roadster's entire build thread on there!

I figured I'd post this build on my two favorite sites! I try to fabricate as much as I can and do it cheaply. Hopefully, someone can glean some useful info from this thread. I began about a month ago. The build thread is actually on that other site so I'll just update that as I go along...

Well, I just did it and cleared the final hurdle - BAR inspection and smog exemption! After literally years of research, I've heard all the horror stories. None of which are true! Following all the rules, this was actually a pretty simple and painless process. This is the vehicle in...

Finally! 9 years and $4800 later I was able to take it to it's first show today. My better half striking a pose..... Here's the build thread from that other site...….. https://www.killbillet.com/showthread.php?26458-27-roadster-with-force-fed-4-build-has-begun

This one located in Idaho. '40s/'50s/'60s stuff. A couple of weeks to go before the remainder gets crushed. A lot of these old yards seem to be coming up lately. Here's a video.................... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVi_hixaUgE&feature=youtu.be Here's a CL ad...

From this............ to this...........and it only took 7 years! Haha! The roadster is roadworthy! Drove it all around the neighborhood today. What a blast!! It has no VIN #, hasn't been certified by CHP, BAR or DMV but everything works and it runs like a raped ape! Scary fast...

Yeah, it's localized. Free on CL but only in the North Bay Area in California. I know there's a few guys on here from this area so here they are. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/zip/6019720968.html There are 3. They've been on CL for 3 days but I went by this morning and they're all still...

Instead of using the cheap hose clamps you buy at the local chain auto parts and hardware stores that tend to strip when you put to much torque on 'em..........try these. Next time you're at the local Pick-N-Pull mosey on over to the high end import section. Pop the hood on some BMW and...

Hasn't been outside in a year and a half. Thought I'd roll it out to get a better perspective on it's proportions. I think it looks alright. Found a cheap rollbar for a VW at the swap meet. Sliced it, diced it and made it fit. Got most of the bracketry fabbed. Got the cooling system...

New category! OK I'll start. Plopped between the rails of my all steel '27 T is a turbocharged and intercooled 2.3 liter. Roughly 350 hp at the flywheel. Currently, under construction. Anyone else?

I'm asking this question on a couple of forums 'cause I need some input. The roadster's been on hold for awhile while I get other projects outta the way but I'm about ready to get back into it. One of my big concerns is radiator placement. Right now I have a Geo Metro rad mounted and after...

Brought it home 4 years ago.......................... Rolled it outta the garage for the first time yesterday....................... I have parts and pieces from 20 different cars on this thing and I've got about $1000 into it (including purchase price) at this point. I'm fairly...

I just got back and I'm completely overwhelmed! The legendary Vern Tardel is liquidating his 50+ year collection for the next 3 Saturdays! Whatever is left over goes to the scrapper (he's already contracted with them)! 95% of his stuff ranges from the teens to the '60s. The prices are...

I'm about to paint my steel wheels red with Krylon rattle cans. I blasted them and then primed 'em with Krylon red primer spray paint. I want the color coat to stick. Should I sand them with dry 320 grit then get in the cracks and crevices with a red 3M pad or should I wet sand them with...

I finally got around to modding my HF 90lb pressure sandblaster. I got tired of blasting for 2 minutes then spending 30 minutes unclogging everything! I wound up replacing the feed assembly and modding the nozzle too. A few $$ in hardware store parts and a Saturday afternoon later and this...

Now's your chance to stock up! Pick-N-Pull half price sale is 4 days. This Friday-Monday. My local PNP is pretty much my Toys-R-Us!

Now that the frame is built I needed to find a way to get it into the backyard for blasting. I also needed easy access to the underside and I was tired of fighting with my grandson to help me lift/move it. I started thinkin'. I've got a pair of cheap HF engine stands. One I've had since the...

Posted this on the pork site...........no responses. What'dya you guys think. '62 Econoline pickup. Complete but pretty beat up, original inline 6 cyl, clear title, been sitting for years. Is it worth $500?

Finally got my Maverick 8" rear mounted up in the roadster. Parts used: Land Rover Discovery trailing arms - $35 pair. '87 Subaru coilover shocks - $18 pair. '01 Kia Sportage trailing arm (panhard bar) - $22. Salvage yard steel for brackets - 40 cents a pound. Setup the rear w/3* of pinion...
