    My 35 Ford is Done...

    You are right and here is a couple of reasons... The Chevy 350 block is quite a bit shorter than the say the Ford 305 or 351 so you don't have to move the firewall back or as many mods. Also the price, a Chevy 350 with the same HP is about half or third that of a Ford plus parts are easy to...

    My 35 Ford is Done...

    I had to get out the Sony Pocket camera - I also have a Canon A640 and they were almost all bright yellow. Shade seems to be fine just in the sun. I don't have a clue.

    My first attempt with Rotary - 35 Ford

    I going to stick my neck out here and say this “ I don’t believe a Motabo at 700 to 1000 RPM using black or blue LC 6.5 inch pad and 106ff is anymore dangerous than the PC with a blue, yellow or orange pad”. I only producing 8F to 12F degrees above the outside temp and I believe the correction...

    My first attempt with Rotary - 35 Ford

    I can’t believe how easy it was to use after all the talk about burning paint!! You have to pay attention to what you are doing and keep it moving. When you select product and pad you have to go down a step or two from PC or Cyclo and remember speed kills – keep the speed below 1400 RPM. I...

    My first attempt with Rotary - 35 Ford

    UPS man delivered my new Metabo rotary Friday but didn’t have a chance to use it till today which is Sunday. Of coarse I didn’t make it to a body shop to pick up a practice panel and I have not used a rotary before so I would problem need to practice. Well I could practice on an old car – yep...

    Bad Tire Day...

    Now it is with the flat tire. To get into a lot of events, streetrods have to be NSRA Safety certified which means that if all four tires were flat no part of the car will touch the ground. What they do is measure from the lowest part of the rim to the ground and using two rulers -- then put...

    Bad Tire Day...

    Here is a lesson in modifying a car suspension. If you want to lower a car make use all body parts and underneath parts will clear the pavement even with a blow out or flat tire. This was a complete blow at highway speeds and could have been fatal if the suspension hit the ground and causing...

    Menz PO85RD

    I thought all the hype was just that hype about POR85RD but when I tried it there is a level above and beyond a regular polish. It will kick the shine up aonther 5 or 10 percent from what you would think is as good as it gets. Doesn't do much for light colors but darks color and black is where...

    Opti Seal First Review

    Hey Goose.... I would say that Opti-Seal beads on par with a high quality sealant - not really better or worse. I do like the way it goes on and the way it looks - lot like 105 or Z5 in my eyes. I have put it on chrome, black trim on the mini pictured above, windshield wiper arms with out any...

    Optimum Opti-seal vs. Zaino Clear Seal

    I'm seeing it drying in just a couple of minutes and wait 1 to 2 hours for additional layers. I did 5 layers in 5 hours without any overload or streaking problems.
