copper Do you know where I can buy the copper kote?

I was able to cross another thing off my Bucket List.I drove my 1956 Chevy Hot Rod across a large part of the country. I started in Detroit Michigan on the Hot Rod Magazine POWER TOUR and it ended in Dallas Texas.That is where this picture was taken by Hot Rod of all the Long Haulers which is...

tach hook up Are you using a points distributor?

Two kinds of anti-sieze I know this is off suject a little but I was told there were two kinds of Anti-sieze.The silver is actually ground up aluminum that is why it conducts so well.I was told that is why you cannot use the silver when you put steel bolts into aluminum.It does no good because...

Yes.When I rebuild my automatic transmissions I use it as an assembly lube because it blends in with the fluid with no problems.I also use it when I install the drive shaft yoke into the trans so the seal has some help.I think it does make some people nervous when they see a big jar of it in...

Yes.Some times I use a tooth pick to apply.And this also works on the spade connections like on regulators and such.

I have found that when I use the old wiring in my cars sometimes the head lights or tail lights are dimm from not making good contact.I have found that putting a dab of the silver Anti -Sieze on the head light prongs and then putting the plug off and on a few times to smear it in the socket...

You guys think so much like me ,It truly scares me.It would be foolish for me to have an origional car.Why are we like this?

Blue Suede Cruise Thanks Guys, I was very proud to do this for them.This lady lost two sons to the Iraq war and was able to get through it.She deserves every bit of happiness she can get.She had a blast riding in the car and I let her and Kenny each make a pass in the car.They both did very...

I am not good with computers to make a link but here is the web site of the photographer at Summit Motorsports Park at Norwalk Ohio where the Blue Suede Cruise was held July 22,23,and 24.The rain hurt attendance (again) but the Baders took very good care of there cruisers and it was a blast.My...

flathead I had two flatheads and sold the 1948 one on E bay complete with trans attached for around $600.00.It was out of an old farm truck and had 16000 origional miles.I thought it would sell higher also.I did have a guy from Spain ask about shipping on it though.I kept my 1950 Merc flathead...

being economical stinks I know what your sayin Tripper.I remember back when the 4 cylinder cars first came out I said I will never give up my V-8 daily driver but with work getting scarce in my town I have to drive 70 miles each way to work, guess what, yep sad to say I am driving a 4...

http://www.dragway42.com/photogallery.html My truck is in here before I cut it up to make it 4 wheel drive.This Race and Rock is really nice.It is at Dragway 42 in West Salem Ohio.I went there last summer and a few years before.Seems like I get caught in a major thunderstorm every year.I drive...

nice I usually don't like paint but those look really nice.lol

upside down flathead When you mentioned the innovations these boys did back then it reminded me of an article I saw many years ago where they took a flathead engine and modified it to go in one of these upside down.Yes the oil pan was on top and the heads were down by the track.The article told...

added pics We set the 427 Big Block Chevy "Rat Motor" down in with the transmission ,transfer case and headers to check fit and to see if the engine would clear the firewall enough to use an HEI distributor.It all looks perfect so far.Now it all has to come back out for welding and painting...

road draft tube What did the road draft tube do and would I have to seal it off? Thanks for the info also.

I was watching Dennis Gage or Cage (the guy with the mustache) talking to Jay Leno on his show and he was talking about a 1914 Pierce car that was made in Indiana.He said that at one time Indiana had around 250 car manufacturers and was competing with Detroit to be number one in car production...
