So, it turns out that if you purchase from CPP on their website/phone/mail, they have lifetime warranty against defects. But, if you purchase...
@BJR I thought it was straight, but I'm thinking this may have been the problem. I'll have to get a new one & double check the angle. I guess...
Drove it out to do some welding on it. Then had my wife pump the brakes so I could bleed the system. She said it's "spongy", so I jumped in and...
@Masterclu I always find it funny when everybody tells you how to build your car. I like where you're going. keep at it.
Looks a lot like the '65 Impala column in my '36 pickup. So, assuming GM & I agree with Gene.
What the hell is wrong with people?
That brings back some memories for me as well. My Father had a '62 Sport Sedan. Stock 6 cyl w/ PG. Light Green. Kinda wish I would have got it...
Nice work Brian. It's looking really good. The panel bond stuff scares me, 'cause I'm just an old Bondo slinger. I really need to start...
Compromise on the steering wheel. It's what I had laying around. Spent many years in my '39 Ford, which now has a metalflake red wheel. It's...
That's cool!

My current project: [ATTACH]
OK. Jacked up each individual corner and found no brakes dragging. WTF? Feels like they are when I put it in gear. Anything in the trans that...
Haven't made progress lately. 4 days of 102 temp lead to an ER trip for IV fluids & antibiotics. Pneumonia. Lungs didn't even hurt. Doing...
Pet peeve of mine as well. It ain't rocket science.
Was planning to go this year but it's looking like maybe next year. Maybe a Wisconsin trip to CCR?
@Max Gearhead I couldn't get the 6-way power to work, so I took that off & I am adapting the seat to the original '47 seat tracks. Kind of a...
@L. Eckart In 1947, they had no portholes.
Still haven't figured out the trunk latch. Made some seat brackets to put a '64 Wildcat seat on the '47 tracks. It bolted up first try, which...
What a great shot! This should be on everyone's desktop. And hanging on their wall.
The hole in the latch that the handle goes into, looks like it has a flat in the pic, but it doesn't. That looks to me like there was a notch...
Not really a fan of the flange method. Seems like a good way to get moisture trapped in there. Why not but weld the patch panel in? Use a mig &...
There are no flats. That's an optical illusion. It's completely round. The part that looks "flat" seems to be broken to me, but what do I know?
OK. Who's the trunk handle expert on these? I'm having 2 problems. It looks to me like there is a broken off part in the latch. Where the...
Seems like a shame to take out those great looking seats, but it ain't my car.
Why the hell did so many people take the Park brake parts out? They were missing on my '39 Ford - found 'em, missing on my Bro's '51 Ford Panel -...

First I've seen of this thread. Nice work. The older I get, the more I dig the crew cabs. You're on the homestretch now!
@hotrodrhp Packing "peanuts" shift, and let your parts shift. The heavy parts will go to the bottom of the box, bang together & the outside of...
