    1981 Big Block for sale

    ...calipers are SS sleeved, SS braided brake hoses are installed as are Hawk brake pads. Front fenders have been modified to include fender louvers. Paint is outstanding, car was painted almost two years ago and garaged since then. The bumper covers, doors and all trim/hardware was removed...

    Speed 33 Cabrio Into A Hardtop Coupe

    Chip Foose and Marcel DeLay Converted This Speed 33 Cabrio Into A Hardtop Coupe Ron Brown and Chip Foose were sitting in a restaurant a few years ago. They were talking about street rods, in particular Speed 33s. Ron had owned one of these stylized 1933 Ford–inspired cars—a dark red fenderless...

    Hood venting

    I saw this on the Duntov site. Makes sense, should work. Probably not something you would add if you want stock appearance. Front Fender Louver Package Where allowed, these louvers are just the ticket. Quoting from the SVRA General Rules and Regulations, Section 3, Vehicle Preparation, Sub...

    Looking for hood louvers/vents

    This would do it - even with a fine mesh screen to "de-crapify" the engine bay - it would be better that what we have now... Somewhere I have a shot of stream data showing smoke trails through the fender (overhead) louvers - interesting that the airflow "wraps forward as the tire rotates and...

    Looking for hood louvers/vents

    I opened mine - the originals (HAH) I got from ACI I installed in 84-5. They even had an inner fender guard you could mount to keep the crap from flying through them - just the air. < When I swapped that front clip for the Tilt-one-piece - I splashed a mold of the louvers - and kept the...

    Gedankenexperiment: Rear mounted radiator

    Likewise - the exhaust of the hot radiator (well at least warm) air must be heading straight for the Hillborn(?) intake horns. Raises the air temp and lowers the density. Not good. I note the extra wide hood rise and that leads me to that conclusion. Not so sure of the advantage of the...

    Cross Shaft Frame Bracket

    ...keep the weld on version and get everything in place, then get someone who can weld to weld it in place for you. You have the eggcrate fender louvers right ?? You can access the area thru the louver opening in the fender. The tab sits on top of the frame, pretty much under the master...

    Let the painting games begin!!

    Thanks guys! I've started the rest of the work on the front end, looks like this front clip was replaced or re-glued at some point. I found a green bondo like material everywhere the paint had problems so I ground it out. What I found looks like screws where used to hold the fenders in about...

    Let the painting games begin!!

    ...more grinding to do, I'll finish it with the medium density filler next. Once these areas are done, I'm going to open up those fender louvers, likely the last four or five (of the eight each side) to help let the air out from under the fenders at highway (and higher) speeds. I'm...

    front flares and grilles - louvers -- project finally started

    I'm installing 70's style eggcrates - same louvers that Saudivette installed on his '82.... it's a lot of work but since I have to paint the front surround anyways I thought I might as well cut the fenders and install the louvers now... :bounce:

    mounting side louvers

    finally finished painting the 69 and need advise on mounting the side louvers . is there a trick to mounting the louvers-the assembly manual shows 3/8 diameter holes used for mounting my question--is there a trick to getting the rubber nuts behind the fender--the front two louvers nuts can...

    Let the painting games begin!!

    ...done. No worries though, it'll give me a chance to get the fit like it should be. Couple of other places that need work too, at the fender louvers and the tops of the fenders back by the windshield for some reason were repaired, but not well. I've also been trying to find a way...

    bonding adhesive

    I think I posted this before, I do not think that this adhesive is meant to be topcoated with paint. I have used 3M 8116 (and 8115) but I have always topcoated it with a filler before applying paint - never had a problem..... a lot of time and work/sweat goes into this... seeing all the...
