I've had 2 sets of TRW ball joints for F250 4WD that you could push in with your thumb. I've seen several other problems with them. Standard, Dorman and TRW are 3 you want to stay away foom.

I can't wait to see it done myself. The trouble with the china parts is that all the good brands we used years ago have went to china. You can buy something that says made in the USA and pull it out...
I'm not worrying about original, I bought 2 sets of motorcycle front parking lights that were bad so I went back to Speedways. I'm going to adapt Model A window runs and regulators to my doors. You...
Vall, you wouldn't believe how many NEW parts I've replaced on this, some of them 3 times. Electrical stuff is a joke anymore, bad right out of the box. It seems that the brand don't make no...
Decided to go to alum heads so that meant changing pistons. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find open chamber pistons for a 427 that would be pump gas friendly. I got lucky and my machinest had...
This body was chopped a little more than I liked, it came out of Colorado and was just a shell.
This is what I've been working on since last Xmas. It's a 33 plymouth, BBC, just wanted a old hot rod that ran good and looked like something from the 60's. It still needs glass and interior done but...
Have you noticed the U bolts you buy on line will easily strip if your not careful? Those they sell for a Model A spring with the bracket are a joke. I welded 1/4 in plates to the crossmember and...
I second the one cool hot rod, you did a great job Vall. A friend of mine bought 4x8 sheets from I think Lowes, it looks like card board but it's a light wt plastic. It works great and I think I'll...
My 17 gal alum tank is a 15 gallon. My wife said I always was a couple qts low.
USPS is higher than crap here. I was going to send a pair of coil over shocks back and they wanted $68 to do it, $30 on a holley carb I shipped.
Brake kit and a straight axle was $100 from Tenn to Ky!
I got a deal coming from S&W race cars where you fill out all the measurements and send it back in plus a new catalog. I used to order a lot from them when I was racing door cars. I'm still going to...
S&W has them for several cars, 34 chevy, early novas, pintos, capris, you name it.
Going to put a roll cage in my 33 plymouth sedan and I figure it'd be better to buy a kit. I have one friend that has a bender but he doesn't have the 1 5/8 dies, plus the tubing i can get is .125...
Great to hear everything came out ok, I'm not going to say take it easy, I know how I am when it comes to that. I got one of those wiper motor kits, it didn't make it on the model A sedan so it's...
Thanks Vall.
What kind of electric fuel pumps are you all running on the street? I need something that will support 550 to 600 HP, I've looked at the Quick Fuel, wondering if it's a fancier Holley, never had no...
I think this weather is crazy all over. I'm getting real tired of rain. Great job on the car Vall, now enjoy it.
I hate sanding, my hands and shoulders can't take it but there is one thing I hate more, rebuilding vent windows. I done one set and that will be the last pair I'll ever do.
You can glue a set of cheap cork gaskets to them and just snug them down too. They work great.
Through it away! been there, tried that, it wasn't pretty.
Trouble with a project car is that you have to go back over and redo most of what somebody has already done. A friend of mine was going to help a guy finish a roadster, he bought it from a guy that...
The Kilmat on Amazon is $59.95 for 50 sq. ft.
Thanks Vall, I've used peel and seal or something like that from Lowe's but the way it kept going up I quit using it. It was in the flashing isle.
