My son and I watched Mr Winfield work his magic at the Houston autorama last night. It was amazing watching him run circles around these younger guys. I bought a picture and got an autograph to hang on my office wall. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. Anyone else get some pictures?

It's time to put some glass in Trey's truck. Many years ago I worked at a rod shop and we had a local guy that would make all the flat glass for us. Anyone know of a shop in the Houston area or close by? I found an online shop in Cali that can do all of the glass shipped and insured for around...

My daughter is having trouble with her 2000 Chevy 1/2 ton V6. The simple problem. E brake is bad and won't pass inspection. These trucks are notorious for wearing out the ebake pads. (drum in rotor setup) It needs new pads and rotors. Fuel pump is going out. Needs to be replaced along with new...

Trey and I are looking for gauges for the truck. We would like to find something that would fit the stock '36 Ford truck dash. We need a speedometer (cable drive), temp and Oil Pressure. I'll make a charge light and maybe put a gauge under the dash Amps. What are ya'll using?

This is my long term project that I've owned for at least 14 years. I began collecting parts and playing with different ideas for a while and started construction quite a while back. I've had build threads on other message boards and simply because it doesn't fit at any one place I think I will...

Trey and I just picked up a SBC 350 for the truck and the guy we bought it from gave Trey a steering wheel. It doesn't appear to be an early Ford because it's splined and not keyed. The guy thought it was early Chrysler. Anyone seen one like this? We need to identify the spline so we can see...

My son and I came up with an idea for our rear suspension. We both really like the look of the original '36 rear wishbones. I've seen others use them with an open drive and they all have added additional supports to deal with the torque of the rear axle since the enclosed drive no longer carries...

My son and I are at a point where we are searching for a rear axle for the truck. We have the original '36 axle but I don't know much about them. I know you can get the kit to convert it to open drive. What I know little about is their strength. We are going to run a mild SBC with a three speed...

A blonde woman driving a Bentley crashes into an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Porsche. Insert punch line here. http://autos.yahoo.com/news/million-dollar-fender-bender.html

My son and I went to Billet Proof in Giddings yesterday. We met up with Bob (Tripper) and his son Jeremy. I posted all my pictures from the show on my Photobucket page. http://s21.photobucket.com/albums/b296/PJLOval/Billet%20Proof%202011/

First, this is not a thread of whether I need one or not on my front axle. I just need some creative ideas. I did a search but did not find any clear pictures. I've set up spring over axle panhard bars but this is my first build with a spring behind/suicide set up. I've come up with a few ideas...

Does anyone here know the length of a 36 Ford truck hood right down the middle along the hinge? Thanks, Paul

Well, here's where we are going to start. We bought this truck last Monday, brought it home, took it mostly apart and are now deciding where we want things to be. This last Saturday we wheeled it outside on a body dolly and mocked up a basic layout. We will play with things a bit but this is a...

My son and I will be building a new project together. I have been building cars and trucks for 30+ years. My tastes have run from 1/4 mile bracket cars to traditional Hot Rods, muscle cars and even vintage VWs. I love then all. On a recent trip to Michigan my son saw a really nice '48 ford truck...
