    Invasion Registration

    I may come to the invasion. It will be a late decision based on the weather forecast since my car has only a tonneau to keep mother nature at bay. If I come it will be in my motor home with the car on a trailer. So, since I won't be staying at the hotel, how and who do I see to register? I will...

    4-link rear suspension

    I plan on building a 4 link for my car also. I have not even looked at it yet. I have built street rods before with both a parallel 4 link and a triangulated 4 link. The Sunbeam must wait its turn, though. Any photos and/or drawings would surely be helpful though. I have autocad 2004.

    1964 Series IV V6

    I have had cars shipped before. One must be extremely careful in choosing a shipper. There are many shady characters in that business. Most are simply brokers and may lowball a price to get you to use them. Then they can't find anyone to haul it for the price they offered you. Of course they...

    Electric Fuel Pump and regulator

    I think that this is the pump I am using. I shopped around and got it for around $75 if I remember correctly (and I may not, old age you know). It works good but be prepared for the noise. Its pretty LOUD.

    Schematics or details of resizing the M II differential.

    The best way to do this is have the wheels and tires you want to use, place the in the fender wells where they fit best, and make an axle housing to fit between. You can purchase a housing made to your specs which includes new axles, bearings and seals for around $800. You can instead shorten or...

    Weber 32/36 Carb Help

    I initially had a problem with my 36 DG weber dumping fuel into the manifold. I adjusted the float level and that cured it.

    V8 Alpine

    Do you have any photos of your front and rear suspension? Do you have any design data or drawings? I am planning on designing and building my own front and rear suspensions. Any ideas or mistakes to avoid would help. This will be a first for me.

    suggested flare tool?

    I redid my rear lines with a 37 deg flare. The origin of this is military spec. It is meant to be taken apart and reassembled many times without leaking. 45 deg automotive flares were developed to seal easily the first time on the assembly line. They will often leak if taken apart and...
