I have a 35 Chevy 3" chop coupe.No windshield wipers .I use rain X it works great.I ran at Kool April Nights in Redding ,ca and it rained. No problem.The windshield are so small the wiper doesn't work very well anyway.Just a Thought.

I did a Google search don't know if this will help here are a couple of links .You may find someone to help you there

The second link has  some interchange part numbers for main bearing sets.If you have no luck let me know what year and engine ID  you have and what size mains you need and I will check around in the Bay Area  for you.I have been Drag Racing since 1970 and know alot of engine builders and great machine shops in this area .Would be glad to help.

I worked in a machine shop for several years theres no way they can plate or rebabbit the insert bearings. The old bearing is contaminated and it would be very hard to plate up 1-thou or so on a bearing.I would search around some clubs and try to find a source.A good parts man and machine shop might be able to get you a set of bearings that will work.

5 or 6 will be fine.I run a Top Comp dragster 6 lbs is fine.

Thanks for all the reply's I heard that 30 to 40 cars get stolen every year at the hot August Nights alone.I just brought my first hot rod a 35 Chevy Coupe.I will put some of your ideas to use.
Thanks Alot  

I had a 89 Sho.The engine had to have a rev limiter on it or it will throw the belts. 7 thou red line.My son said he had it to 140mph the thing had a lousy clutch and trans but the engine hauled *.

Thanks guys some great ideas.I like the shoot them idea but at my age Jail isn't in my future.Maybe a battery shut off and a chain around my ankle attached to the car. Thanks for you input.

What kind of things do you do to keep your rod from being stolen when your at a motel for the night besides sleeping in it.I'm buying my first rod don't want to see 50 grand drive away in the night.

Sent in my dough to help.You guys on this site really help guys out.I also never found a site worth sending money to.This is the exception.
Thanks
Steve

32 Vicky

Yea,I go on Friday to look at the car and drive it.Don't know if i'll buy it .One of my friends hates Glass cars and says i should only buy Steel.I'm not much of a purest.What is fast and looks good is what I want.He seems so * that I would buy a glass car.Oh well.[/quote]

Thanks Mr.Mopar

Thanks Guys.I talked to Boyd today and he says with a clean title just take the car to a dealer who can verify the vin and you can register the car.The gal at dmv didn't care if it was a kit car she said if it has a colorado title for a 32 ford that it could be registered.I wonder if the manufacture date could screw up the process?With all the horror stories I wonder if this is the real scoop?

Guy's I need some help.I want to buy a 32 Ford Vicky in Colorado.The car has a Downs fiberglass body and aftermarket frame.It has a clean 1932 title from Colorado.Can I register this car in Ca or is it a considered a specially constructed vechicle.When I read the definition of a specially constructed vech it doesn't seem to fit into that category.I have one person from DMV tell me it is a specially constructed Veh and another that said i won't have any problem getting the car Reg.The car is 50,000.00 and i don't want to make the big mistake. Any help would be great
