I drove the '48 Ford pick-up in stock configuration, armstrong steering, flathead V8, three on the floor and some of the stuffiest springs I've ever encountered for several years. The decision to update the chassis was my desire to go further than the county line without fear of a breakdown. After it was street rodded I put on over 100K going to gatherings all over the country. Guess it is a personal decision based on what your intended use is.

So I guess the lowered, cambered Hondas with the tin wing, fart pipe and glow tip exhaust are off the table....??? The point is that each generation makes it their own. That's why we have chocolate and vanilla.....

I respect the chassis swaps and all the modifications, but I have mixed feelings on the finished product. If you are starting with a P.O.S., I guess do what ya gotta do to save what's left. If you are starting with a nice original, then I think leave it alone and make it original. If I wanna drive a new cushy truck, I have my 2018 Ram. If I wanna enjoy all the technology of 1957 and have to know how to handle it, then that would be part of the allurer for me. They just don't make that old iron any more. I enjoy watching some of the hot rod shows, at the end of the show the end result looks & drives great with a lot of power. But it is no longer any thing close to what it was. Just my opinion, but If I want a 70 Chevelle SS, I want a 70 Chevelle SS. Not what's left of a Chevelle after absolutely everything has been altered and up dated. Don't even get me started on the ridiculously large rims with low profile tires. 22" rims are for semi trucks not classic vehicles Sorry, I done.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
Colby G replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
You would be correct, and sadly, I do not have any photos. But I believe the actual hood is cast iron. -

If the sickle bar mower is front mounted and the cast iron is a front weight rather than the hood it could be an RJ. I presume you mean the Wheel Horse is free, not your friend's new car. - Yesterday

I used a '70 Chevelle with modified side rails under my '48 Ford street rod. Cushy comfortable ride, good handling, disc brakes and power steering.

This is the bathroom door downstairs in the new mommaapartment. It was a worn-out regular swinging one. Trina decided to rearrange the layout of the kitchen a little and replace the door with a new slider. Now the swinging door isn't in the way. 😀

the article was great, a bunch of setbacks. After fussing with attempting to hold multimeter cause i couldnt find my alligator clips, i broke down and went to AutoZone for new ones. Afterwards smooth sailing. When i was back to it only running if i hold key in start position, i came to terms that i must of made a mistake in my wiring. I pulled my b80 in from shed for a visual. Yeah no juice at coil in run position, ha so annoying lol thanks guys for reminding me to get back to basics.

Growing up in the 80s and into the 90s... Massachusetts wouldn't allow these types of swaps but I lived closer to NH. They did. Seen some cool stuff back then.

The ear does not lie...and it works for adjusting the carb also. In fact, I can do tire presure too. I'm just a walking "Sun" machine. I can tell you which lifter is bad in a car engine, which bearing is good or bad in a transmission, where in the ground the point from a boring machine is, and when a woodpecker is pecking at my T-111 garage siding.

I thought is was a new brand of Vermouth. I like that with a cherry in my Bourbon. AKA Manhatten.

I thought the Title said "Mouse Erection". I came in to see what they were building now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE !!!!

This you can count on...if it has 1" axles, it IS a 4 pinion differential. If it has 1 1/8" axles, it has 8 pinions in this case.

Not a restoration
Lee1977 replied to Lee1977's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
Have it mostly back together, all the large pieces of sheet metal painted. This was a free tractor but lost a best friend to cancer. He gave it to me because I wouldn't destroy it. Well so far four new tires and tie rods, up graded the wheels, added studs and lug nuts, fix a few things, painted it, new seat, new air filter. I'll nave about $450 in it by the time I'm finished. -
