  1. My "treasure" finds: Movie theater popcorn butter comes in 5-gallon steel drums. They throw them out, and I take them to the garage. They make great-smelling trash cans in the garage. Someone threw out a mini deep freezer at my apartment bldg. I cut out the compressor and used it as both an air compressor and a vacuum pump. - for evacuating A/C systems. Local A/C service shop throws out empty 30# refrigerant "bottles". They make great portable compressed air tanks, but they have a 1-time safety valve that pops out at 150#. (Ask me how I know, see compressor story above above)
  2. "Grandma, can I borrow your car?"
  3. I vote for the 65-66 Mustang. Even a I-6. A while back I wanted to do a '63 Falcon 2-door wagon "surfer" style, but the replacement parts (cosmetic/interior pieces) prices scared me off. 65-68 Mustang are a lot less than 60-65 Falcon. Must be a supply/demand thing since the mechanical platforms are so similar. How about a z31 '84-'89 300ZX? too bland? boxy? Mr. K's Fatlady comment?
  4. You........On the Motorcycle. One night only. Rythum and Blues review.

    510 tranny

    Since the 510 trans is shorter, Will the shifter be in the right place? Or up under the dash
  6. Did you notice radial engines have an odd number of cylinders?

    What do I do?

    a Spicer 5-134x combination u-joint which mates a 1310 yoke to a 1330 yoke. Supposedly this is a late '70's Ford F250 u-joint.

    The book is pretty good at explaining what you need. But the last 6 years' collective expereince here at HybridZ is GREAT at sharing the details. You need to know what type of diff you have (R180, R200, early, late, pinion flange pilot bore diameter, bolt circle or rectangle dimensions.....) in order to source the right adaptor. Do a search on "driveshaft" "1310" "spicer" "neApco" and ye shall find: Good luck
  9. Get on the mailing list for another Victoria British catalog from Lanexa, KS. and MOSS, and Motorheads.
  10. Celica. Only because it looks like a baby Mustang!

  12. Maseratis have regular doors any way. http://www.maserati.com/jsp/newModels.jsp?category=%2Fmaserati%2Fcars%2Fgransportspyder%2Festerni&menuKey=t289&BV_SessionID=@@@@0883145767.1151429785@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccaddieggkgmgcefeceegdgimdfmf.0
  13. I have seen new steel "tubs" (body shell) for the '62-'69 MGB. Not cheap, $4,000, without doors.
  14. I guess I'm pretty lucky that the people I work with are really great about work. One thing that's kind of weird is one woman is always talking about her organic herb gardening at home, only buys non-irradiated foods, only eats steamed veggies for lunch, drinks green tea, non-smoker, non-drinker, and yet weighs about 250 pounds....
  15. Nice design. What bushings are those? They look a lot like L.C.A. inner joints. T-5 uses a special drivehaft, right? Is your driveshaft long enough? Looks like the yoke could slide forward a bit more.....
  16. Guys and Gals, I'm in Switzerland this week. People sure are excited about the World Cup here. Lots of interesting cars and motorcycles. Saw a variety yesterday From "Smart" to Aston Martin and John Deere tractor with a license plate and turn signals. Guess what a Ford Galaxie is....a mini van.
  17. Whilst browsing the plumbing aisle at Casa de Pot I saw bell-shaped pipes. They are chromed brass, and made me think of a Hilborn injection setup poking up through the hood of a fuelie Corvette. 40mm is roughly 1.5" and drain pipes come in 1.25" (bathrooms) and 1.5" (kitchens).
  18. Spycke, Just some ideas off the top of my head...... Motor, transmission mounts - your own design and fabrication, consider adding a U-joint into the steering column for header clearance Exhaust - will require catalytic converter(s) (and maybe air pump) Driveshaft - Altered Ford or custom length with 1310 U-joints. Search for the R-200 to 1310 U-joint flange adaptor Spicer/Neapco part number, Z31 should be the same as S30 R-200. Brake upgrade? Speedometer cable Will the stock in-tank fuel pump keep up with a 400 hp V-8? Consider replacing it with an external pump.
