Here's another one from over here.

Well Doug, it could be here in Sweden as well. Looks familiar to me

What car?    

Thanks Guys for the info.
I forget to ad that I have a adjustable triangulated 4-link with rubber bushings and I tilted the pinion upwards 4 degree so total is now trans –4 and pinion is +3 degree, so that's a 1 degree down for pinion movement when acceleration.  Did it sounds right to you?

Per

I need some advice about my pinion angle.
Sorry for the lowtech drawing  The transmission is tilted down 4 degree and the pinion 1 degree down. The drive shaft is 1 degree up from the pinion. The reason I asked is because I have some noise in my u-joint and I adjust the angle to this setup and the noise disappear, but what do you say about this setup? Can I go with this without ruin my u-joint?
Any help appreciated

You mean like these?  They were on my 41 Pontiac, and are steel, but they would need a little fixin' up.

Yes Phil, just like that.

Thanks Bob for your reply but I don't know if I got the skills it takes to make my own.
Btw, her's a guy over at the HAMB who makes his own skirts

Did someone know where I could find a pair of teardrop skirts for my 41 Buick?
I prefer steel but Fiberglas will work also.

Cool stuff. I just finish a tire with the way the video shows.
Pretty easy but it's a dirty work. :?

Making white wall tires.

As always in Europe we win the gas price comparaison. Here in France the unleaded is at  1.32€ a liter at the supermarket station, where it's the less expensive.  At 1.28$ for 1€ and 3.78 liter a gallon the price is......

:cry:   :cry:  :cry: 6.40 US$ per gallon... :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

and near 7$ per gallon on the motorway!!! :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  

And I know it's even more expensive in England and northern Europe countrys!!!

This summer I did a lot less kilometers with the 32 roadster than the previous years. Even at 21/ 23 MPG due to the overdrive (and a very light right foot) the long trips cost a fortune. And we have to pay toll on motorway too!!

Fortunetly the average small french car that I drive everyday (when I don't use my bicycle)  consumes 6 liters for 100 kilometers, the equivalent of 40 MPG.

Yes Gilles, we always win the gas price competition over here in Europe.
That's about the same price we have here in Sweden.

What you think about this "C-framing bolt on kit" that many low rider guy uses :?:

Per

Looks very solid to me.

I have the opportunity to get me a ride in the Norwegian Plymouth Superbird on the picture.
A real matching numbers 426 Hemi. What a nice experience.       There isn't many around for sure. It was difficult to get a clean shot of the Bird cause the crowd where all over the car and prevent me from coming close enough with my camera. I have to sneak up early in the morning to have my pics.

If someone is interested in Hotrods over on the European side of the pool you can follow the link and see a couple of pics from Sweden Hot rod reunion 2006. This event took place this weekend.
