    Custom Shop Help in Texas?

    Hey all! I'm in need of some help. My family heirloom needs a little TLC and I'm in a situation where I don't have the space/tools/know-how to address. My priority is to get some things done (wheels, tires, brakes, wiring harness, body work, etc.) to make the car safer/more reliable. Does anyone...

    Cooling secrets

    I hadn't seen that hose before. I bought a SS braided hose (Spectre) that's 4" longer than the old one. I'm hoping I can find a place for the extra length so I don't have to cut it.

    I used some K-Seal and the leak stopped!! Now if I can just find a gas replacement hose...busted a leak on a braided steel hose. How crazy is that?!

    Thank you sir. I'll pick up some wetter as soon as I stop the leaking. I do have an overflow tank, but I recall my grandfather saying to never open it. I was thinking that was maybe because it was mounted lower than where the water level would be in the radiator, but not sure that holds any...

    I'm not sure. I'll dig around to see if I can find anything. I can certainly take some pics.

    Dr. Smith, my radiator has a few pin holes so I'm looking to replace it. I just got the car from my father (heirloom) and I'm a bit of a novice. I know in the past it has liked to run between 200F and 220F. It has an electric fan with a simple dash switch and a reservoir "tube". I live in TX so...

    Rear Tire Size Help

    Lots of feedback, thanks guys. I'm not able to get accurate measurements on my wheel without taking the tire off. Compound that with the fact that I then would need to find a tire to fit the wheel and then take both back to the tire shop for mounting. Everything I see right now points to the...

    Hey Spanky! I love that look. Reminds me of the red one on the Speedway Motors website. Mine needs some work as not much has been done in the last 10 years plus. I posted a question on rear tire size earlier so please check it out. That might help me get 10 posts too.

    Hi Jeff, welcome! I'm trying hard not to jump right in and start making changes. Being thoughtful about the changes is proving difficult!

    Rear Tire Size Help

    Hello! I just received our family's heirloom ('23 t-bucket) and it needs new rear tires. The tires on it are McCreary 31/13/15. I haven't been able to locate a tire of this size. The closest I've come to is the Mickey Thompson sportsman s/r 9000000227 which is 31/16/15. The look is sweet, but...

    Hello all! New to the forum and to the T-bucket community. My father just handed me down the family heirloom, a 1923 T-bucket with a Chevy small block 400. Hoping to pull together some ideas to make it my own with the help of all the knowledgeable vets in the forum. Looking forward to it!
