    Not an SVT...but still a fun project I hope

    My wife has been jonesing for a 47-54 Chevy 3100. So I've been keeping my eyes peeled. But while looking for that truck I stumbled upon one of those craigslist ads that seemed too good to be true. Price was too good. Condition was too good. So I overlooked it. About a week later I found the same...

    New shop is close to being done!

    So last year I had to move into a little bigger place. My dad passed and my mother had to move in with us (Alzheimer's). So I lost my big garage and set out to build a new shop in the backyard of the new place. It's still got a few things to go before being what I'd call complete. Little bit...

    Question for guys with moser axles...

    I broke an axle and upgraded to moser axles. Here's my problem...I'd like to keep the stock length wheel studs but noone seems to make one less than 3.1" long that I can find. What did you guys do? Run open ended lug nuts? Or did you find a stud that's the right length? Thanks in advance!
