  1. @Home Built by Jeff I have to tell you something funny. My wife was waiting on me to get ready for bed last night. It was late and she could here me bumping around in the kitchen. She told me "then I heard that Australian guy and I quit waiting" I was watching your video!
  2. I agree that bead blasting and pressure blasting are more aggressive but we were ok with a little courser finish. We sealed the case with a clear sealer after blasting. Plus it's likely to end up grimey eventually because the car will be driven often.
  3. I'm sort of with Zed on this one. If it ain't broke; don't break it. I would run the heavier weight oil and save up for parts. That is unless there is some risk of being ticketed for some kind of violation. Otherwise I would just run it.
  4. Sand blasting pressure pot. 90 pound pressure pot.
  5. I have never understood that!!! I don't want to trade. Just sell for cash and buy what you want. Just never made sense to me
  6. We tried that case in the bead blasting cabinet but gave up because it was so slow. We blasted it with the pressure pot instead
  7. The hood looks really good!
  8. I figured I would make photographs but I wasn't sure if there was a better method
  9. Jerry, What is your method for figuring out which bolt goes where? I don't think my memory is up for that!
  10. Or if the engine hasn't been run in a while the numbers could be low from that too, but I suspect the throttle plate is a pretty good guess.
  11. Be sure the cowl is water tight and the cowl drains intact
  12. Ok, I'll see what I've got
  13. What type of brake rotors are on the car? I have found that drilled or sometimes even slotted rotors can make sounds like this at low speeds.
  14. Is this part inside the round shell?
  15. I once rebuilt an engine and I didn't check the valve lash from the machine shop. The valves weren't seating, so there was no compression. Won't run like that...
  16. There are factory plates that go between the sway bar bushings and the frame rails. I think they help reinforce the frame rail and spread the loads out
  17. I love the way those seats look!
  18. I am not sure but this may be a forum members car...
  19. Wow! Not even verified low mileage and not a low number car. Very clean but not perfect or overly unique

    Thats good to here. I dont know how they set values on classic cars. They tend to be all over the place
  21. I missed 2 The confusing question on air circulation Normally aspirated And the octane one In my defense I went through pretty fast ?
  22. You can if you know what to buy and what kind of repairs are easiest to make. I know several people in my area that make a living rebuilding cars
  23. You might not live long enough to be a Jetson but I suspect you will live long enough to see the other. It is moving along at a pretty fair clip and politicians like the tax revenue...

    If the paint is really fresh than I would say it's worth more than that. It's hard to tell but the hood looks messed up. But that might be dust or some dirt. If the paint is pretty good, I would say it's a 5-6k car

    https://www.copart.com/lot/30360899 Enjoy. They have a BIN of $13,000! It might be rust free, so it could have that going for it. But far from a 13k car. Crack heads!!!
