I’d guess Pontiac? Also could be aftermarket ones that only are “kinda close” to the official logo, to avoid trademark infringement.
Wow. Please do your usual good thorough job of explaining how those 3 go together, and lots of pics.
Exciting action shots, the H.A.M.B. comes through again! It’s painful but it has to be done - maybe add some rattlecan primer as you go to stop...
Take a bunch of “before” pics as you go so you can reassemble with less confusion.
Bench seat, smaller shifter on floor or column shift. Sliding across from passenger side is not bad once you get used to it. And it’s...
Cool - send pics of course. I’d like to see you sitting in it, so we can judge size.
I've seen steering wheels like that installed with reverse dish on t-buckets sometimes. I'm not sure if it was for looks or for stomach room.
Try to get as much surface area in the between cylinders area as you can - I've seen water passages (not in engines) that look like ununununun -...
So how do you keep a Donovan block cool on the street? I was poking around the 'net last night and only found drag racing applications.
Ok, lemme guess... a brick of $20 bills... or one of those Rat Fink shifter knobs you have to put on a 4-foot lever
If you're ready to put the body panels you see on to a whole different car, consider it. Frame and floor could be too far gone.
I would like you to confirm with the mods that the Cord refurb is not kosher. Because if you can get their okay, I'd like to read it. Between...
This is good work. A bit of a slog, but keep it up, it will get there
I had a '65 with PG that had the same problem, it would die in drive at a light. I dealt with it the same way you are. There are valve tube...
For transmissions, check RV area of Craigslist. There are often low mile RV vans fairly cheap.
On those hood hinges - I've seen the rod staked two ways, one is peening the rod oversized and tapping it in, the other is just mashing the hinge...
Whatever happened to the 6/71 blower cases? As of 2014 the folks on that thread were awaiting your updates. I was also hoping to see the 6/71...
I think those are just old boat trailer fenders, and are sitting only on the left side, just for the photo.
Sure, 34 parts from cowl forward makes a lot of sense. And taking it easy makes sense too, you've been pushing pretty hard.
Glad to help. I thought you would add the 3" to the cowl, not the hood, (by splicing the front of he 35 to the back of the 34), so that all 35...
I thought you'd need the front of the 35 cowl to match up with the (shorter?) 35 hood and hood sides etc. It all depends on what pieces parts you...
Since the 35 cowl is deeper than the 34, try a chalk line on the 35 where you'd cut it to drop the intact (or mostly) 34 cowl and windshield in...
Measure the tire on and off a rim. In inflated height is likely different, right? Not sure how much different but it's more for radials than...
Looks like a jig or form would help with the bracket shape? If it were me I'd look for brackets I could buy and modify as needed, but I'm lazy...
Can you clock the handle differently to avoid the wheel?
Asking because I don't know - is running the brake lines down the rear wishbone ok? Seems like a side load twisting bump would stress the lines...
That looks more like 140 to me.
...but you could maybe use bubble gum along with your masking tape to hold your paper templates together. Sounds like you should buy more gum....
You have the scale rubber tires, right? :-) Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Figure out the throw and direction of the main OD solenoid and build a lever to match. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
