    Got a velvet rope at an auction last night for 5 bucks, thought it'd be fun to put it in my garage but not sure how to set it up yet.

    Also got this big Whitney punch which is in very nice shape, although I kinda wish the die it came with was a bit bigger, and the piece I was really after, this shear. It's not a Beverly but I'm hoping it works the same more or less, it's very heavy, needs a thorough cleanup but the blades aren't beat up, and hard to complain for the price. Bought the pair for $7.50

    Yeah and without a front cross with 2 wheel it will dump your engine so fast you will cry!

  8. It’s getting changed.
    Plans are for removing the single wheel and add a crossbar with 2.
    And reweld a few things.
    the engine mount turns as smooth as a hub. That’s why I bought it.
    Will redo the bolt stop on top.

  11. Got this cool heater. Looks like a c2 console trim
    $35 for everything on the tailgate

    The heater is nice, I had one of those labeled as Tropic-Aire and I had another identical one but with a different brand name stamped on it. The vent adjuster is a neat design.

    For the continental kit, keep in mind that the '57 rear bumper is very different, and every '56 came with a continental style spare, but not with an extended bumper. So your kit is either for a '55 or a '57 and won't interchange with each other. The cutout shape makes me think maybe '57 but it's a little hard to tell from a 2D picture.

  14. The t-bird kit is cheap
    I’ve got another one of these heaters but its name plate is missing.
    Would like to find one or a pic so I could maybe duplicate it
    Was the c2 console trim worth $20:)

    Here's a guy selling a disassembled one with the emblem on eBay, but I think his price is way too high for what he's selling. There's at least one good pic in there that shows the emblem though.

    I wouldn't mind having the console.
    It might clean up and be nicer than the one that's in my car.
    We might could work something out if yon are at Lloydfest

  19. I wish.
    Probably won’t be able to make it.
    But I’ll clean it up and see what happens
    Send a pic of yours. I need one good enough to cut up to fit a project.
