I have remained silent regarding the rule change that NSRA made starting in 2010 and have suffered mostly in silence ever since other than commiserating with friends and fellow pre-'49 enthusiasts. Being an NSRA member for 28 years and not missing a Nationals from 1986 through 2009 I was very disappointed to say the least that they chose to change the rules of the one passion I have and that is for the pre-1949 street rod "culture". I have no problem with the later model cars but the change has just taken the "specialness" out this event, I have no interest in attending the Nationals any more. This event was my vacation every year, I looked forward to it all year long and started preparing for it weeks, even months in advance. Until recently I thought I was the only person that felt like this until I seen the ad in Street Rodder magazine in the issue prior to the last one for the American Street Rod Association only to realize there are others out there that apparently feel the same. I immediately went to their website and joined up and registered for the Kansas City event for May 4th through the 6th which my wife and I drove over 600 miles in our '39 Chevy coupe to attend. My enthusiasm has been resurrected as I was even contemplating selling my '39 Chevy coupe and '46 Chevy pickup before the ASRA came to my attention in your magazine. It was a very small group of pre-'49 enthusiasts but a loyal group to say the least. I am sure there would have been many more attend if only we could get the word out and I am pleaing my case to you to see if there is anyway you can give the ASRA more coverage as they need more members to survive. They are not professional car show or national association promoters and need help to keep this going. I have volunteered to help get more members but even if I am successful getting 20, 30, 50 or however many members to join they still need national coverage to get to the die hard enthusiasts whom I am sure await each month, like me, to receive their issue of Street Rodder. I have subscribed to it for many years and as long as I have a street rod I will never cancel it. I am hoping that in some way as "the authority on street rod news and information" that there is something you can do to help promote this endeavor as it would be an "investment" for your publication that would eventually reap more business for you. If there is anything you could do to help or even head us in the right direction with some ideas we would be forever grateful. The website address for the ASRA is www.americanstreetrodassociation.com . Regards and thank you for considering our plea. Ed Gensheimer, Indiana State Rep. Decatur, IN 46733

Our project is a 40 Ford, rear is an 8 inch Ford that a disk setup. A local shop rebuilt the rear end and installed the brackets. We did not notice until getting the body on that there is a major clearance issue between the calipers and frame. I hope the pics show up, first post on this forum. I'm posting this here for some advice on how to start over and do this correctly. A couple people who have looked at it (not pros) have suggested rotating the bracket (and consequently the caliper) or notching the frame. http://i39.tinypic.com/2qn74b4.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/2pyvlns.jpg

One of the Alexander Brothers greatest creations has been brought back to life. Don Vargo's 1932 Ford "The 69er" has been re-created by Blast from the Past Street Rods of Pottstown, PA. They just got back from Detroit Autorama and walked away with the Alexander award and best in their class. Anyways I thought a lot of people would really like to see/know that this awesome car is back. Here's the link to Blast from the Past Street Rods Facebook page, all the pics from the show are on there. So take some time and check it out! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blast-From-The-Past-Street-Rods/104150169671497?ref=ts

I just sold my 347 stroker that I had in my 28 Ford and now want to install a 4.6 modular motor. I have gotten all kinds of different answers from people that I just don't know if they really are making sense. I would like to hear it from someone who really knows. Ok, here is what I would like. I would like to run a 4.6 modular engine with a automatic. The problem I'm having is that all of the newer automatic Ford trannys, the shifter location is all the way back at the tail of the trans. I'm figuring the 4.6 to set back 4" or more back in the firewall, so that would put the shifter to the back of the front seats. Won't be able to shift from there, and will look crazy. The old engine was a 347 with a AOD trans and I had a Lokar shifter that put the shifter at a sweet spot behind the firewall. This is what I'm trying to accomplish with the 4.6 engine and trans. I don't know if I could get a cable shifter for the newer transmissions that I could custom mount. I havn't seen any, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Thats why I'm here. I have my eyes on a couple of Cobra motors but don't want to buy until I know what I need to make things work. I've seen some ol coupes with early 93-95 Mark VIII 4.6 engines but they havn't said what type of automatic their running. I do want to be able the upgrade the trans with a shift kit and some other goodies and don't have a clue if the new ones even offer that either. Basicly, I'm wanting a 4.6 Modular engine with some pperformance upgrades and a trans that will support it. Please, I'm pulling my hair out on all the different counterdicting info out there and need some serious help. I'm wanting to finish the car this year and all your help would be greatly appreciated. I wish I new how to upload a photo of my car,,that may help also. I do have a Brookville chassis under it,so I know Ihave that covered as well as a John's Industries 9" Thank you all if you can help me, Dan

I have 33 Ford Vicky with a 350 Chevy small block and after driving it for a while the fan comes on to cool the engine but the fan noise sounds like a jet taking off. It is unusually loud and is noticable to anyone down the street. I've been told it is necessary to cool the motor and is caused by the cowling around the radiator/fan, however it seems excessive.

Does anyone know what would happen if the brake lines were installed in there wrong places. It looks like the front input and right front are transposed. Also, it looks like they installed the input into the output holes and visa versa. The car locks the right rear if I stomp on them, but after a couple stompings, everything seems OK, no lockup. Front brakes dont seem to be braking as much as they should. Anyone have any ideas, any help would be appreciated. The following is a link to a picture of how it is currently installed: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/1ndl1

Hello all...another new guy mixing his intro in with a question. First about me. Retired Air Force guy that finally is getting around to building his car. I've got a 28 Ford Tudor that I'll run as a Highboy, mild chop, setting on a 32 frame and 32 shell. Damn glad to be here, Having been inactive in the rod world for years I see that there's some level of care that must be taken with asking the right question in the right forum. I figured this was the place for me. my car: http://media10.dropshots.com/photos/181512/20120124/185416.jpg I'm looking for some level of input on the best configuration on a Walker radiator for a LT1. When I say best configuration I mean I want to make it as install and looks friendly as I can. Walker can place the upper/lower to my specification....I want to get it right the first time. The rep said he's use to them both being on the right side (passenger side) for those running an LT1. Can anybody out there coroborate that. FWIW, he also recommended the 3" shorter one...probally so we can drop the shell as required. As far as accessories goes My car will have air...so I suppose that's a consideration or maybe not. Any info is appreciated. thanks...and happy to be here! Boxcar
