What about the window swamp coolers ? Anybody make these ?

Thanks for the input I may push my building boundaries and try scratch building something like this with stuff in the parts box and/or aluminum tube

Just noticed the panel below the spare. It opens so the spare can go into the opening

I am currently in a 32 Deuce phase. I have built one with a Hemi, one with a 5liter Ford and heaven forbid one with a SMC, currently doing a Flat head. I have always thought the Super Charged V6 in the 90/92 T Bird Super coupes would make a great little hot rod mill. And since I have a 90,91and a 92 Super Bird kits. I thought I might rob some parts for my next project, a 32 3 window. I am also considering using the independent front and rear suspension. This is new ground for me so if anyone has done something similar maybe I can get some pointers. Thanks Jon

If they would have moved them outward about 8" and put them on the fenders it would work without all the extra engineering . But maybe "back in the day" the engineers needed to justify their jobs just like today ?

I am looking forward on seeing more on these. I am mostly a Ford guy but a Dodge would be cool. And a 32 Chevy would be fun to drop a 302 into. What will be the price range on these?

When ever you are filling a tank watch the cycle time (the time it runs/the time it stops to cool down). If you run a small output compressor to long without giving it proper cool down time you might overheat it and burn out the motor. I couldn't find a cycle time for that compressor but it may be listed in the paperwork that came with it.

Pintos and Vegas should soon be "extinct" most of them rusted back into the earth

Never got the scanner to work right so I just took some pics

I get some of my inspiration from Kustomrama - Traditional Hot Rod & Kustom Encyclopedia. (I would post a link put I haven't figured out how to paste yet)

Let me know how that works out Dave

Very nice . I like the idea of taking a humble kit and making it into a top notch finished model.

No Flame paint jobs in my bunch. I will most likely do some Scallops first

"Back in the Day" whenever we spotted a "4 Hole" Buick we would shout "4-holer" and punch our buddy in the arm. Now I guess they do "Slug-a-Bug"

They are called "pit strips". Mostly used for racing teams to id which car was coming into the pit at road races. Only on the pit facing side. Some times yellow was used to denote a Rookie driver. Would be OK to use on a road race model. They were first used on a Cobra at the 1963 Sebring FIA Race

I think I would have to start out with one of these, but now that I have read these posts I am getting a hankering for ship building. (my Wife is going to hate this)

Thanks, that sounds almost to easy Snake I want to make some from the extra Pie Crust old school slicks I have in my tire and wheel stash.

Anybody come up with a slick way to make cheater slicks (yes I did a search). My AMT Racemaster slick tires are not exactly flat and I have to sand them down anyway so I would like to make a set of cheater slicks out of a pair or two Thanks

This reminds me I need to do the Salmon on Cedar coated with butter and brown sugar. Settled for Chicken breast and legs marinated in BBQ sauce on the grill

Nice, I like the style of a Old School Custom

Checking it out

Is it Show car Month or Old School Rod Month ?

Every time I see a new Camaro I see this

Love the 29, Chief

Maybe something you would drive while listening to the Stray Cats ?
