Guess I spoke too soon, my brother messaged me and said they cancelled Boise, I haven't seen Autorama post up yet but I bet it's cancelled by tomorrow.

Autorama SLC and Boise roadster show are still on for this weekend.

As someone who builds trailers, maybe your bosses could start ordering some more? 🙂. Definitely interesting to watch all this play out, prior to this virus the trailer building business slowed down considerably since last year, we had a huge layoff not long ago and shut down most of night shift...

Had to go take care of a little snow on the roof and fix the furnace.

Also wanted to add that my brother will be taking the 49 down to the Hurricane Easter car show, I know Scott will also be there as long as he's able.

Those of you watching my 40 build thread probably seen how a bunch of us came together to help my cousin get his 49 5 window built and driving. Thought this was too great not to share, I'm so happy he's checking more off his bucket list. I don't know what I'd do in his shoes.

What big block? :ugh:

Saw this "Flame-point Snow cat" once.... Actually its just one of my two cats and we travel to the cabin sometimes. :D

Kinda what I was figuring, flexplate was previously installed but I don't think actually used, I think sometimes you have to drill them larger as well. I'll just roll with it as is.

Been so long since I even messed with this sort of thing, I suppose properly set up it is fine. Flexplate is sandwiched between torque converter and crankshaft, it can only rotate. I just don't want anything to go wrong.

Anybody know how much play is acceptable on the flexplate to torque converter bolt holes. Bolt is around .37 and hole is around .41 so there is a little bit of play obviously. This is for a big block Chevy to a TH400, my torque converter is threaded. Maybe it'll be fine as long as I thread...

Neat.

I used right stuff disc conversion on my 9" with 11" rotors. Was super easy to put on.

95 Wrangler. 20 years and 5 months....ish 2000 Cherokee. 10 years

Well, she is under the knife again, guess 12 years wasn't enough time. ? In reality it was originally gonna be a pretty basic build....4 link, through frame brake fittings, rebuild exhaust... She'll be at Autorama Boise same weekend as Autorama SLC this year, March?

In the off chance someone out there besides me is still running an AMC 2.5 liter straight 4. ? Pace setter brand.

That is what I would do. I didn't use any on my exhaust, mine is pretty short, T-bolt clamps at the muffler inlet. But....I had a whole discussion with my brother one day and he said that is one thing he would change on the exhaust of that 57 wagon, V band clamps!

V band clamps?

Best way to do it. Build it right once, no matter how long it takes.
