I had this exact problem on my 1950 ford. I ended up doing two things: C9's suggestion of trimming the fender lip. Hated doing that. :( Thinner...
I think it looks pretty damned good. How are you gonna put up the headliner? Is there anything in the kit for that (stringers, or however it's...
Double check that you've got the right cylinder on the M/C going to the front. If the ports on the M/C are different diameters, the larger one...
This pile is where I got his last 57-59 9" :D
That looks great. Plus you can use that stuff in your house and it doesn't cost a fortune. I'm waiting for it to get over 60 degrees here so I...
Incredible. Really.
Go with the option that you know will cause you the least regret later. I think if it were me I'd buy the 60 and store it, drive the s10 a while...
those roulette gauges are pretty cool
I learned to drive in ice and snow, and when I was a kid we'd powerslide around the deserted roads all night in blizzards drinking beer. Here I...
I've been happy to be iced in... fixed some wiring in my lowered shoebox, restored a steering wheel and fabbed a horn mechanism and custom horn...
Hey it worked. Here's my other softail. I have some good mag pics of this one. Gonna prolly sell the FLH this year, btw.
Haven't posted a pic in a while, hopefully my FLH comes through. Those are '53 buick ventiports on the bags, btw.
I've gotten Jim on Saturdays on one ring, but mostly I've emailed him. All good on this end. We designed a brake system for my car over the...
Looks great. Would love to see a "before" picture next to the afters. What's Crushproof? Never heard of them. :D
I took a class and learned to tig weld aluminum. It wasn't so bad. up - really not too difficult with practice and good fitment, and the welds are...
Whoa, I forgot about this. I should be there Saturday, hope to see some HAMBers there. At the Red Lion show a few years ago was the first time I...
I have done lots of these, here are some more: to remove harmonic balancer: a long chain wrapped around frame connected to balancer with two...
F'n hell! This car has cured me of my 36 Ford coupe obsession. I love the way you've got the car "sitting." Looking good, please keep us posted.
Cool car! It looks like the paint might be a little rough. From where I sit I'd be inclined to drive the hell out of it as it is. I'm not a fan of...
The 8" is the right width. 57-59 9" fit. There are some 8.8" that are close enough to work with some slight tweaks. Do a search... there are a...
I've been pondering a multi-carb setup for the roller 5.0 I'm building. Is there a setup that can compete with a single well matched 4 bbl and...
Is this gonna happen next week? Just logged on and found out about it tonight... a bit too late. Got the shoebox back on the road... if it's next...
I've never destroyed a cool car. Growing up in Massachusetts the best way to destroy a car was either to drive it off a bridge in Chappaquiddick...
Oh man. I hope they're doing okay.
You can order the springs by the drop you want. Who told you to not buy them? helsbel: As far as the shackles not lining up with the spring...
Man is this car gorgeous. I passed on a supercheap '63 New Yorker today just because I couldn't talk myself out of thinking it was ugly. How could...
I have nothing but good to say about Diamondback. I must be lucky, but my dealings with most of the companies I've had to do business with have...
Nothing but good. I believe he is semi-retired now and has limited his hours to a couple of days a week.
I'm looking at a '50 right now. I have a complete ford drivetrain, but... not sure I can use the rearend I have. what is the width of the rear...
