I really like that idea. In regards to a car with history, I'd hate to erase all visible signs of that.
I'm not sure yet. Part of me says yes, the other side says no. I get torn between history and doing a higher end finish. No rust out that I know...
Just the start of this project is about 5 years in the making, or more. I've known about the existence of this dismantled open cab pickup for a...
Here's the final build plan, I've had this pic for years: [IMG]
I very much plan on it. NO cuts or body mods whatsoever. I have all the components to out modern bendix brakes in 40 ford backing plates for...
Perhaps, but I'm such a history but that I look at it like I do myself...scars, marks, and all!
AFTER FOUR AND A HALF YEARS....or five if you start from the beginning of this thread, I have an UPDATE! I have since moved from NJ to CA to be...
Isn't she out close to Pomona?
I ended up ordering some Sealed Power pistons from Falcon Global in Memphis and the bearings from C&G in OC. It should all be up here middle of...
Awesome pics!!! I'm also a comics nerd (Pre 79 only)....I missed out!!!
Dave's?
My truck 8BA is being rebuilt, has hardened seats already (woohoo!) and now I'm having to pick pistons. It's a mild rebuild, mostly back to stock....
Gimpy, I may hit you up on that if I find a Falcon wagon that I like. I've seen one Falcon Futura around here that I loved, and it looked MEAN....
Well....I made a "Wanted" ad for a trade since you can't really do that in the "Cars for Sale" section: LINK I bought the 50 before my son was...
I've seen some decent running 210 wagons around here. You think it sounds like a viable trade? They're going for 10k locally. BTW, are we allowed...
Indeed. I still like my coupester, but I'm broadening my horizons. I am pretty picky though. I really like 57 Buicks, Buick Wildcats, and slightly...
It'd would definitely be interesting to see what offers come in and if something trips my trigger. The crappy ones are good for entertainment at...
Ha, mine is very much on the jalopy side of things. It would sell ok out here in LA, but probably not here on the HAMB. There's a lot of history...
Man, this reminds me of the Mountain Dew delivery guy at Leno's garage who had his little sports car overhauled on tv, but when it was finished,...
In regards to road worthiness, it's fine for town and regular highways, but freeways? No way. It's Death Race 3000 here. I'm admittedly an amateur...
Lots of great input here, fellas. I'll admit that I've been looking at mid-late 60s Fairlane/Comet/etc....OT I know. Lots of good points about...
Don't get me wrong, I love Model A's and all sorts of hot rods. I sold my 50 Chevy to finance my A build, both were low buck builds (relatively)...
I get folks hatin' on the fake patina, but I don't always agree. I say keep the patina. Mine had rattle can black before this, and the paint and...
[ATTACH] BMW 2002 box
I'm in the middle of doing the ol' Jeep T150 shift tower swap on a late toploader (from a 72 ford F100). Now that I've got the thing cracked open,...
You and me both, brother. I'm doing the same thing with a 72 F100 toploader (side shift). Taking it apart is a TOTAL pain in the ass. So many...
Yeah, I disagree with his step 15. That rear fork doesn't come out til the main shaft is loose from the rear bearing, as the lip of the case won't...
Great to hear, thanks for the info! Now for questions: -in order to get the forks out, it seems like I have to take the whole transmission apart!...
Anyone have later model side shift toploaders behind their mills in pre-35 cars? I'm wondering how it looks, works, or interferes with can space....
I don't really know what to tell you as far as location to go to, but I can tell you that me and my family are in a similar boat. We make decent...
