Features HAMB Shoebox Club

Where are you getting a good rear wheel cylinder? The chinese left rear is ok but the right rear leaks out of the bleeder valve. I have tried 3, all leak. ALL parts stores are selling the chinese junk. I tried NAPA, Rockauto, Advance Auto, shoeboxford.com, Autozone, Oreillys, ABC Auto parts

alot of the parts they sell are NOS.

 

c'mon now, you can't come on here and say you got a dual quad hemi in there and not show a single picture of it!

here is a pic of the Hemi.

 

I'm running a 302 in my 49 Coupe , and Legend544 is running a 351 in his 50 - we installed rads out of a 90 Mustang into both . You can see pics & whatnot in my build thread (within the last few pages) . New rad , hoses & whatnot from AutoZone , around 100 bux ... not bad , if ya ask me ! All info in my thread .

 

I'm in! Victoria

 

Thats a nice Victoria...cutting it up?

 

nice Victy!

 

I agree, it looks to be untouched and great condition.
Needs some cutting for sure.

 

Too nice to cut.

 

You are right...just playing with him.

 

Hey Bones, got anymore pics.........man that's a nice ride.......

 

Hey fellas. ya this was a one of a kind find. It had been in storage since 74. Its pretty unreal, custom interior that hope my upholstery guy can save. It had a set of original bias plys sitting next to it that had never been mounted there still soft. It still has the arkansas 51 license plate.

 

Great car man. Option only backup lights..does it have the Fordomatic trans?

 

Yep

 

ok so my 49 finally rolls now so I figured I'd join the club....

Here is the quick lowdown
460 with a C6 shoved into it
Ford 8" rear
Camaro front narrowed 4"
4-link rear
bags on all 4's
oooh yeaaaaah and chopped just a little

long way to go still.......

 

^ Great job i dig it

 

^^^ looks sweet fat tire!!!^^^
i also just got mine rolling again

 

The chop is awesome,slick set up

 

Manyolcars, we have some similarities in our cars!

I got my wheel cylinders from Napa, and haven't had any problem---maybe just lucky-----.

I talked to a guy with a 460 in his. He claimed it was difficult to get it into the space. Did yours fit easily? He had fenderwell headers

 

Looks like yours is gold too. My Crestliner scallop will be white as soon as I can do it then I will primer red the rest of the car
Were your NAPA cylinders chinese?

 

she not road worthy yet, but i love to look at her.

 

I think she is cute.

 

Here's mine 50. Still Flatty 8ba.

 

Sweeet guys!

 

Yeah like fitting an elephant into a shoebox. Literally! But yeah there are no fender wells at this point and the firewall has been cut as well. If the sub-frame was not narrowed 4" it would have been easier but ah well it's in!

 

Nice one, King!

Made some headway on my '49 this weekend (in between the '48 F1 and the '56 Chevy....too many projects )
