timo, I love the wheel Ridler 650 blk/polished. That design has been around awhile so I'd say it is time-tested. Ridler's website has a wheel visualizer so it allows you to see it on a trifive Chevy....
Sounds like you need to install an adjustable proportioning valve to set the rear brake pressure. I remember installing one on my 55 Chevy after installing a Dana 60 rearend back in the...

Does your engine have original-style front engine mounts or aftermarket side mounts? Also, are the rams horns both center dump? The previous owner of my 57 installed a driver's side engine mount and...
Dave, Thanks for the recommendation. I like the description of them and the reviews. I will give them a try.
Sid. Did you work for a GM parts department. I ask because when I was a GMC/Chevrolet Commercial Truck Fleet Manager I got a lot of die cast trucks from General Motors. The idea was to so you would...
Slim, Nice box. Looks like GM was also promoting the mid 90's Lumina.
11039If you are mechanically inclined, and cannot find a shop to install a/c, do it yourself. I had never installed a/c in a car before installing a/c in my 68 Camaro which was a non-a/c car. Had to...

11029Harry, Good information. I thought about the exhaust diameter measurement I posted. The measurement was 2" diameter for the tail pipes. Today measured the header pipe diameter in front of the...
Thanks for the replies. Printed a list from Wilcoxcorvette.com of all the rams horn exhaust manifolds casting numbers from 1963 to 1972. Went on eBay and CL to get an idea of what they all look...

After replacing the trunk weather strip on my 1973 Challenger, the trunk lid sat 1/4" higher. So rolled the Challenger out of the garage on a hot sunny day and placed 25 pound weights from my...
Back in the 80's I installed a Dana 60 Ford truck rear end in a '55 Chevy station wagon. The rear end was ~ 4" wider than the 55 Chevy rear end. I radius'd the rear quarter panels and slightly flared...
Congratulations! Out of the ordinary to see a 35 Ford two-door sedan that is not over restored.

Like the extension you made for the cherry picker. The "C" clamp was a good idea to avoid a mishap on the way up. How was it on the way down? On my next to do list.
