The upgrade was meant to fix problems that did exist and it seems to have fixed many of those.. while introducing others.

Drag and drop works for me but not the icon.  You posted a picture a couple days ago.  Do you remember how you did it? 

Is the whole forum slow for you?  This thread is slow for me but I notice that it is because the pictures are full size which means they have to load and that slows things down.  If you are able to figure out how to post, please resize them. There is a free program I use called Photorazor for resizing.

I'm sorry I can't be much more help.  Some can post pictures and some can't and I don't know why.

So, back to the wheel sizing, I'm going to go with 15x8.5 for the rear size. The car is headed to a local shop this week where they will get the wheel wells cut and the mock up wheels in place to do some measuring so we have an idea for back space. The mopar rear is slightly wider than the 8" coming out.

still having a lot of issues posting pics so I'll just comment for now.

My son swapped the diffs on the 56 over the weekend and then had to put the 8" backs since the ubolts wouldn't go around the mopar tubes.  

Oh well, the car will be heading to the local hot rod shop, Modesto Rod & Custom in a couple of days so they can start on the suspension. 

Got the gas tank pulled (anyone looking for one) and some other parts pulled out. The 8" will be for sale once it comes back out very soon.

I finally had an adapter made for the lower pulley. I used a lightweight McCulloch pulley for the basic shape. It bolts up using the crank center bolt and the two auxilliary pulley bolts.  So I am progressing on my 4-71 setup. One thing I hadn't given much thought to was the hood. I see the scoop poking through, did the carb come up that high too? My hood is louvered and I really don't want to cut a hole in it. Kind of hoping to find a cheap 55 hood or even better a fiberglass one. Chuck

Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

The car that YA posted is running a blown 312 and the trans is a 6 speed Richmond if I remember correctly. The car was built by a friend of mine here in Al for a guy in PA. The car is a work of art!

Its been quite on the build. I have been working on the new magazine and its been taking all my brain power. It will be off to the printer in the next couple of days. We are going to try to get the wheel wells cut this weekend so we can get the rear in place to start the ladder bar design. 

Thanks for the additional info on the car Glen.

So, our pal Bill Carlson, owner of WAC Customs and official sponsor of our Canned Monster just informed me that he is upgrading our axle, the one he just finished! All I can say is wow. We will now have a I-Beamed-Tube axle. Bigger and stronger, just in case those front wheels decide they want to come up.

Still can't add photos. Not sure why. Hopefully that gets resolved.
