Hi, I'm in the process of doing the doors on my '29 Chevy and I need to know if anyone has a source where to find the metal channels that the rubber/felt goes into for the side windows, from the measurements that I can see on the rubber/felt it looks like I need some steel channel that measures .625" wide (inside) by .500" tall I can bend some if I can't find any, but if I can find some that would save me some time. Thanks

I noticed that Downs is selling all of their body molds. Another one bites the dust. Wild Rod and OZE both changed hands several years ago. Rat's Glass has been trying to sell out for several years. http://www.downsindustries.com/latest-news/liquidation-sale-of-street-rod-business http://ozerodsshop.com/roadster-hotrod-oze-1937/faq.php http://www.killerridez.com/wild_37s.htm FWIW, the OZE Rods Shop is building a roller for me. I'll be 60 in a couple of months, I'm retired and haven't done any car building since the early 70's. I'm collecting parts, in anticipation of the roller's arrival in May. I've got some Billet Specialties Vintque wheels, 17x7 front, 20x10 rear, with 225/45 BFGs for the front and 295/45 for the rear. Just received my "connect and cruise" engine/trans package from Pace. I'm keeping it mild with a stock 430hp LS3 and 4L65E. Also bought a 3.50 geared 3rd member with a true-trac posi from Summit.

there are wheel shops that can move the center in or outward on the wheel outer.. they cut the welds on a lathe.. and usually use a new outer.. press them into the proper depth and then weld them in place.. this has been done for years to change wheel widths or offsets.. within reason..

My 19 year old brought up a '51 Studebaker, four door (bullet nose), Commandar built by a guy named Jerry Wier. We are a dog mushing family in Salcha, Alaska and we don't know anything about street rods. We are getting lots of on the job training, but are running into issues beyond our abilities. Our current problem involves an attempt to raise the front of the car a couple of inches. The boy is having a hard time protecting the car from the rough roads we have in Alaska. Frost heaves are the worst. The front end is a Fatman mustang ii frame stub with coil over shocks. Any suggestions on how to raise it up? Everything I've seen on the net basically spreads the coil springs but we don't know if these pieces are the best way to go. Do we need longer shocks when we raise it?

What I don;t like is the fact that I can enter my street driven 1928 Chevy into a car show and have to be in the same class or category as a $300,000.00 Trailer Queen. There needs to be more attention paid to just how to classify these cars that are built for nothing but show. They are never driven any further than from the trailer to the show area. I have often said that anyone who owns a car that is never driven and enjoyed for what it was meant to be might just as well buy an expensive oil painting and hang it in their garage. The people who have true hot rods which are driven to the shows should not have to be in the same class as these Trailer Queen cars. These cars should be in a totally seperate class and judged as what they really are. If you have a bottomless checking account and build a car for nothing else but show don't park beside me!

I would like some honest opinions to help me decide whether or not to send my '34 Ford Tudor to auction in March. Selling it to start a new fresh build of a '33 Steel Coupe... Before I list it, I would like honest opinions as to whether or not it would be an appropriate addition to an auction, what, in your opinions, would be a reasonable reserve price, and what, on a conservative basis, should it sell for. http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t59/btsave/1934%20Ford%20Tudor%20Steel%20Rod%20Bought%20January%202010/1934%20Ford%20New%20Pictures/34%20ford%20select%20pictures/IMG_5842.jpg The car is a 1934 Ford Model 40 Tudor Street Rod, all steel body, 350/350, originally designed and built by a rod shop in Palm Bay, FL in the early '70s. It was "lost" for 20 years and, eventually "found" in a lawn care maintenance shed in So.Florida. I restored it back to how it was originally built & pinstripped, with a few modern updates. Engine is being replaced as we speak due to a broken crank, so it will have less than 100 miles on the engine, with a GM crate engine warranty. Vintage A/C, B&M sport shifter, USB/CD AM/FM sound system. Doors are all solenoid controlled. Front Disc Power Brakes, rear drums. 650cc Carb. Electronic Ignition, etc. Adjustable Coil over shocks. Mustang 2 front end, 9" ford rear. Paint is 1 year old, rims have the original Patina (Rocket rims). (Should I replace with shiny chrome for more appeal?) Here's a link to some recent pictures...

these are close to what you will need to make it work.. but there are a LOT of options.. gasser_rear_subframes better start with pushing two kitchen chairs together and measuring how much seat width you are going to need to be comfortable.. without rubbing shoulder to shoulder..

invest in a proper ford electrical shop manual section the ford drivability manual if that is what is available for the 93... http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/Search.aspx?c=113886 you can also take out a subscription to eautorepair dot net.. they will have everything the factory manual has.. online.. you can get a short subscription of a few days to i think 4 years.. for not that much money.. you can also save some of the sections if you push PRINT and then save as PDF or save as PS.. you will need to spend several days/weeks with a clear head at this site.. it covers eec4 systems rather well... http://oldfuelinjection.com/ at 150K... on any ford V6 motor... if i had the time with the engine on a stand... i would rip the intake and heads off and carefully clean and inspect the decks for warpage... order a tube of hylomar from permatex... new head gaskets and head bolts ... i use a hyde 5 way painters tool that i keep razor sharp with a 180 grit diamond file.. to clean the surfaces without digging in.. ford head gaskets on V6 motors rarely make it much more than 150K.. sorry.. i don't know if yamaha who designed the heads came up with better versions. you will also want to create a safe spot in your car to store a spare ignition module.. so you can swap it if it fails.. you will need to study every circuit to the computer.. spend some time in word with the art tool bar and colorize a wiring diagram from end to end for the engine controls so you know each circuit and what it does... there are only 60 pins on the EEC4 computer.. is your sho computer from an automatic car that uses the computer to control the transmission or from a manual transmission version??? makes a difference in how its wired up.. you will also need to study the differences between the front wheel drive transmission electronics and the rear wheel drive electronics... speed sensors, manual lever position sensor.. you see why i said.. build a firewall and frame rail mockup... so you can work on it at reasonable height.. i have not delved into SHO electronic differences from the conventional 3.0 taurus electronics and 3.8 electronics that i am familiar with.. i guess i may have to dig the drivability manuals out.. once you come up with more questions.. it might be fairly easy to hook this up.. or it might be a nightmare. i will be around to assist in turning the second into the first..

battery in the trunk.... Use a single jumper cable to extend from the battery negative terminal in the trunk... or create a long test lead.. late 80s to mid 90s front wheel drive caddys have some neat red or black terminal blocks with a single 10MM stud.. and a hinged cover.. since you have a grounding bar... do the tests as described.. also test the grounding bar... you might need to increase the wire diameter to that....
