June 02, 2010 02:24 PM in Looking to Buy!I'm about to start looking at street rods for sale; looking in particular at 38-41 Chevys. The first one I'm looking at is a 1941 Chevy 5-passenger coupe with all of the usual mods: 350 engine, 700R4 tranny, 9" Ford rear, Mustang II front end, 4-wheel power disc brakes, etc. etc. Anyone have any advice as to what to look out for, or what to avoid? I'm a car guy from way back, been wrenching all my life, and have bought and sold plenty of street machines, so I have a pretty good idea of the drill, but ...

June 02, 2010 02:19 PM in General DiscussionsI have a 650 Holley on a 302 Ford with a C4 trans.. Carb has been used on another vehicle for less than 100 miles. It has always seemed too lean so yesterday I put some larger jets in it. This is the problem. Off idle before new jets I had a hesitation. Past that ran good. Now hesitation has gotten very bad to the point it feels like it is going to either die or cough back through the carb. Past the hesitation point runs good. I re jetted it because I was getting no color on the plugs and was afraid it was ... Read All ...Last Updated 06/05/2010 05:31 PM

Had ex-son-in-law touch up wife's coupe. Fixed a couple of bad spots and had him put flames on for Mother's day present. She likes it.

June 01, 2010 10:01 PM in General DiscussionsAnyone got a good suggestion for a pair of front buckets for my '37?

June 01, 2010 03:51 PM in Builder's CornerDoes anyone out there have any extra therma-tec wrap, the stuff to wrap around exhaust headers. I just need about 12" to 16" of the stuff for my truck. You can't buy in this small a quantity. If anyone has any of this that they do not need or want, let me know and I can purchase if necessary.

May 31, 2010 02:42 PM in Builder's CornerI bot a 39 Ford many, many, too many years ago to have built into a street rod. Builder I gave it too did real nice body work and built engine (but was never fired) but took forever and then he closed his shop. I have done all I can on car (wiring, fired and tuned engine, guages, insulation, seat, stereo, brakes, etc) but I need someone who is TRUSTWORTHY to line up front end sheet metal and paint it.Then I will need an interior shop after that. Anybody know of a shop that will complete a project that has b ... Read All ...Last Updated 06/08/2010 07:26 PM
