I built mine in 2006. Things may have changed since then but it sure is rare to see the government DROP any sort of fee.

What size tires are on Hoopty? Other than a rental Challenger 5.7/8A, I don't have much personal experience but I will say it was lots of fun. I know a 2.71 or similar should match up well with a 26" tire and feel like a Challenger R/T with the 3.06 and those have a plenty usable 1st gear.

My very first car was a 68 RR built this last winter to keep from going stir crazy and yes the RR was all flat black just like model is

After Paradise burned to the ground the state building code was changed to improve fire department access to properties and buildings. That part of the fire code actually draws a distinction at 1 acre and above, so a bunch of the access requirements for properties over 1.0 acres are different...

I sold pretty darn near all the car kits I had...kept a few parts. MISTAKE! You know what happens: oh, I had one of these, I always wanted that kit, my Buddy built that kit in high school...and then, Hobby Lobby has 40% off. The shelves are getting crowded, may have to actually build one over...

Teeing the PCV together with the booster is gonna make the back cylinders idle lean. Good luck tuning that.The PCV should be running to the front of the carb, and entering the intake thru a channel provided that will mix transfer-slot fuel into it, and hopefully every cylinder will get proper...

I installed a cross bar similar to that on my dart thinking just for shock mounts, I maybe able to do the same thing you did too.

Might almost be cheaper to install a sprinkler system.

Yeah, the lemon scented non toxic crap that was completely useless. I hated that stuff.

Rock Auto lists 2 different inner wheel bearings. I think that may have been the biggest change in the knuckles.

I build one every once in a while when I get bored

no glue for the balsa wood airplane's? I think they had a lemon scented one...or did that come out for plastic because people were sniffing the glue?

Thanks guys I just got off the phone with a different lady and she said just keep calling around because other people have found companies that will write off on a compaction test for just the dirt and no extra construction is necessary unless the dirt is just naturally too soft. She couldn't...

the Grand Parent's house was converted to a miniature gas fired boiler (compared to the coal "monster" that there previously). Still radiator/steam heat when they sold house in the 70's.

Back in the 1960's.

I'm running an 8.8.. I've seen the all tire calculators, conversations and debates. I've got 3.55s in Hoopty with a pretty tall tires. It's a bit aggressive but fun and the highway cruize is sweet. 1st gear is good for about 10 feet lol. Just wondering if had any actual seat time in anything...

Chrome plating will soon end in California from what I hear

Ours was coal and then probably fuel oil if it was replaced or converted. When we moved in, there was a huge old cast iron natural gas fired boiler. We replaced it a few years ago with a Weil McClain Ultra boiler.

How can the speedmasters be garbage? I paid $440 with shipping for mine (bare castings) on black friday 2020, so with good hardware I have $8-900 in the heads. Best 1/8 mile on mine in a 3320lb car was 7.21 at 94mph in the 1/8th, seems like good ET economy to me. Granted the tricklflows are...

Newsom at it again

Made it to test and tune a couple weeks ago (either spins or dead hook/bogs) This was my best pass. The yellow swinger ran low 7's (408 4 speed). I got to see what my car would look like if it was nice :lol: doppelganger!

That's par for the course like they say. We are lucky to have repop parts for the early A's. THere's not too much call for them.

Grandma and Grandpa's house had coal furnace till sometime in the 60's. I remember going downstairs and the "coal bin" was there and told not to go in cause you'll get covered in dust. I'll have to ask my wife about her Dad's house in Winfred SD, what type of refrigerator they had. It was a farm...

So, about the trans fluid leaks, I knew the selector shaft seal was bad, but I also discovered leaking at the tail shaft, so I pulled that seal and ordered a new one. Then I attacked the shift selector seal. When I realized how tight it was under the car, I decided to pull the crossmember...

What was the name brand of the windshield gaskets you used?

Who supplied the rubber seals?

Indoor plumbing,coal fired boiler for heat and a swamp cooler cooling system. There is an icebox door still outside. Electric refrigerators weren't available until the late 20's.
