there is a mid 50's in a junkyard near me if anybody is looking for one. it has a great body and the complete drive train. he is very reasonable too.

my neighbor scraps metal and came across a slant 4 cylinder engine. it says international on the valve cover. it's as big as a slant 6 engine, which i thought was odd. i figured it was for a truck or tractor. it doesn't say harvester on it anywhere either. i thought chrysler was the only one...

i have been looking at the jeep threads and got this vision rolling around in my head. i was wondering what other people might think of this. please be kind of my drawing. i have never claimed to be an artist!! does anyone know if they're pre '73 ones too? i thought about using the flat fender...

i found this on another site a few years ago and thought you might find it handy. i made mine out of .125 tube but it might be better out of 3/16th, just in case you want to bend thicker springs. i used 3" sqaure for the base and 2"x3" for the legs. i also added some reinforcements to it at the...

i remember in some mag they had a tech on how to lengthen the shift rod on the trans and the shifter to get these to work with a 350 turbo trans. does anybody know how to do it? i put one in my last t bucket but, the low wouldn't engage, using the stock arms on the trans and the shifter.

hi guys!! i have this large journal 327 that broke the rod at the piston end and wiped the piston and rod out. the rest of the block is fine. the piston got shoved sideways into the heads combustion chamber and the darn motor still ran. :eek: what i was wondering is, i know the piston from a...

a guy told me today that the calif dmv is charging 4 years of fees for any car out of registration no matter how many years it is out of registration. anybody else in calif heard this?

i was just thinking about street rods and such back in the days. i remember back in the early '70's when hot rods,street rods were beginning to be built again. it seemed we used whatever we could to build them just like a rat rod today. most people did paint them, at least black primer and such...

with all the talk about gas mileage lately, i have been thinking about building a t bucket with batteries in it for around town driving. i picture it with a hood and pickup box, very light chromealloy frame and very light weight overall. with enough batteries under the hood and some more in the...

i have shown this pic several times and was collecting parts for awhile. i got tired of looking at it, so i started on it today.

first let me say, i am mostly a drag racer and a street car guy second. i have always built street cars off and on, but i enjoy drag racing more than driving on the street. ok, now that that is out of the way, on to the topic. i was looking at some old car books and was noticing how many car...

ike, love your bike. i wondered how a person would mate up the trans to the motor, considering how far away they are from each other. here is mine. it cost a little more than yours, but not by much. i got the frame from a guy for a pair of '53 chevy brake backing plates and the forks from a...

i just got done posting this on another forum, but i would like everybody here to see it too. if i could put a link to there would it be ok? if not, just delete it and i will type it here too. for what it's worth, here it is. http://www.killbillet.com/showthread.php?t=7030

but i must say i like this site. the cars are cool and the people are the same. i don't build very many street cars, mostly drag cars. i have been known to build just about anything though. i have had this idea for awhile now, about building a '40 willys truck cab out of a vw body and a '50...

i know this guy that has a bunch of bikes and junk. he was trying to sell this and nobody wanted it. mostly everybody said they wouldn't give him 5 bucks for it. anyway, he asked me if i wanted it for free and i said no. then a few days went by and i thought about it and said why not. i used to...

i build just about anything that strikes my interest. i have been gathering stuff for 40 years or more and now i am retired i can build it. i have a vw trike, a '32 austin bantam altered race car, a '53 henry j street gasser, a '63 plymouth s/s, a flathead dragster and about 25 glass bodies of...
