Happy Easter all!!!

Happy Birthday Thumber!!!!!

Very cool and great job on the resto!!!! Love to see good pictures of these 'oddball' cars, ones I've never seen in person.

Hahhah I mean well..... I took em out.

But the scars are still there.

I've got 5 stitches in my left index finger from a brand new exacto blade more that 35 yrs ago.

Looks great! Takes me back to when I built mine. Pretty sure I built it up all white, then stripped it and dyed it all black. To match the ad.

The top shaft is a double d isn't it? I think you can run a b4 style slipper with the appropriate spacers.

Whatever you can get in there to scrape and clean will be helpful. Possibly vinegar applied sparingly. Soak down with contact cleaner and apply some contact antioxidaton grease before assembly.

Check McMaster carr for lapping compounds. The clover stuff is reasonably priced. The choices they offer gives you an idea of the surface finish you might be looking for.

Fantastic! I get an inch once in a while to do this too, to make the same pair.

What did you end up doing with the shock caps? they look great!

I have some updates so I can finally add it to the BOTM contest! Thanks to Markydents for a sweet piece to help RPM this thing a little further(rear bulkhead!), and Mike A. (Mikea96) for a sweet lid to help put the cherry on top!! I pulled some vintage NOS tires out of the part bin to place on the w...

Robinson adjustable toe rear arm mounts. It had a turnbuckle to adjust and required the hole to be cut for access.

My blue tub RPM build finally gets completed.

Yep since the motor is flipped the polarity is reversed. Not a problem on a modified motor but a timed super stock type motor would be unhappy. Usually you flip the top shaft and cut the motor plate, if you can't flip polarity.

I think it might have been in the B/S/T area and might have had a shelf life? It was a good thread, we should probably start another one. I'll have to see if I have any singles to match. Pretty sure I have a couple of wheels that I thought were a pair but are actually different.
