If you have wheels on it now that fit and work just measure them. If you have room to spare add that amount to your numbers.
In reading this and making my own visual photo of where you're going, I sure would have traveled a different road to get there. Nothing new there...
Hay, wait a second! I'm looking at the E-Brake handle. Do I see a non shiny mount bracket there? Shouldn't that go to Chrome Toney for a coating...
This Hot Rod thing is all about choices. Maybe you would want to stay with the Mustang unit and just adapt the pop-up cap directly to the fill...
Hay Pal, no worries. Speaking Hot Rod crosses all borders. We know how to get things done. So this was built to be a Motorcycle weld in Gas Cap....
Correct miguel.st . I should have known to have that info on hand. I'll get it and post it up along with the size for the conduit punch.
Damn computers have a mind of their own sometimes. A simple hose connection makes you ready to add Fuel. I know, subject to personal likes but...
I'd go back to the sail panel with a flush mount weld in fill cap. I've done them several times and in fact just finished another in my Coupe...
I tried but I guess my approach to the conversation was wrong. I'm going to start calling B-B the Bling King. He's beyond help. At least the rest...
If you're actually a Welder and not just a welding machine operator none of this is a big deal.
I have actually repaired the freeze cracks your talking about without welding. A drill and 3/8" tap, lots of patience, some 3/8" bolts, lock tight...
I think what you're doing, and the plan is just fine. Stay the course and move on. You might think about Coilovers in place of shocks to do both...
Depending on your Toy Box and space they look grate all detailed up sitting on a stand. What's that worth to ya?
[IMG] What this image shows me is a verry poor Core motor that someone that knew what it was, walked away from. That generally doesn't happen to...
I wouldn't pay Scrap Price for it without doing a teardown and looking for Freeze brakes. That thing reeks of being exposed to outdoor weather as...
Jay Altemus; Thanks for the contact info. I will contact him first of next week.
31B'ville, Is this the current stage of your Project?
Same here when I first started the project. I did finally receive a full wood kit for Both Doors from Auto Wood Restoration. That was a 2 year...
If a guy wanted to buy replacement Wood for these cars where would he go today? In the past there were several long running Co's out there. Seems...
The brake had a Head with 2 sides and many different sets of feet that would actually let you fold verry narrow centers with longer walls. So a...
For years I had access to a Sheetmetal shop with a C-n-C brake and sheer. Several times we made parts like the channel that needed to be exact on...
I read 36 Truck in your opening statement. Your issues are not unusual for fiberglass parts however that much does seem extreme. My question is...
Oh Man, this is too weird! Like most I also did Model cars growing up. In my Office (where no one else ever gets) are several shelves of the very...
I knew of a Pat Ganahl and he did a lot of writing and a lot of research. However, there isn't any Long Distance service long enough to reach him...
Seemed to have problems posting photos so I'll try again. This is what went on around front. I removed a bit of the Overbite and took the edge lip...
Dang, I just stumbled into this and can't believe it was 2009 when I first posted those photos. The car has been done for a while. It was an on...
I agree and you have to be driven or dedicated or sick or anal. If you ever meet and talk with anyone that kinda knows me or has hired me, all of...
A big improvement to me would be it sitting in My Shop.
A little late to the party here but in reading what you've done and my past experiences it sounds to me like you may end up having some issues....
That is not the case on 406. That is a 427 only motor. The 427 is still an FE motor casting and will bolt in the same place as the 390-406 motors...
