cool headlights, killer ride! Just a question, maybe it's a dumb one - I just don't know. What prep is done, if any, to help keep the paint on...
very cool! Any pics of the aforementioned dash? That shift knob (old door knob?) reminds me of the shifter knob on the old ford tractor ('53?...
Stew, see my post above. I used the oil first on some seats - sprayed it on and put black garbage bags over them in the late summer sun. You...
I noticed that there are some references to stiff leather in this thread. I used Leatherique products for a 20 year old leather convertable seat...
From the random thought machine: How about wiring up the rotary section of an old phone? You dial in a number. Folds away, hides, whatever, just...
I bought a rear seat for my Cord. It arrived in an open ended box (4 out of 6 sides) with the two open opposite sides covered with shrink wrap....
Yup, on my old 74 CJ-5, the PO used roofing tar on the bottom! that stuff went up in flames welding and cutting replacement panels/pieces.

Andy is a skilled fabricator - his Lancia reproduction should tell you that. Although almost all/most of his work is not HAMB-related, it's still...
I'm redyeing a rear leather seat right now for a non-HAMB car. Their line of products is great, esp. the rejuvenator and prestine clean - worked...
I'd change my policy to emergencies only for them, if at all. I was fixing a fleet of 5 cars for my family (bro is a near total mechanical idiot...
St Chuck, wish the cars were up here with me so I could work on them. Eventually.
www.alumilite.com I've been making reproduction parts (airdam brackets) that are No Longer Available from BMW for about a year now. Made them...
SatanHerself, I think that IIRC our guys used to get hot water for coffee straight from the jeep radiator drain in WW2!
Not exactly furniture, but here it is (59 chev, 56 plymouth tail lights with 40's plymouth hubcap; lights are powered separately from clock). I...
sehr schön Professor!
Let us know for those far away what's there. Any chance in hell there's any Cord stuff??
Injected, This is machineable. And if you get it in black, can look and feel like bakelite (but much stronger and long term stable)....
Foul, I was told to leave the cars alone by the Hemmings forum moderator. Since he was a moderator, I assumed he has the authority for the final...
Regarding the calendar, I guess they might get a few calls, but the "piece of art" thing really pissed me off. If I got the car (a rare one at...
I got chewed out internet style for wanting to recover one of the literal wrecks in one of their calendars. They said I should leave it alone,...
Django, we're on the Fresh Coast baby! The waves here are wind driven. There is a forum or two that posts conditions on Lake Mich. and...
Here's a stock Cord dash from a closed car (sedan). Nickle-plated.
As a geologist, rustyNYer nails it. Remember that China (and most of the rest of the world) isn't doing shit relative to the US and all that...
on that note, look up the cat that did a tech on vacuum-forming plastic (lexan, iirc).... maybe get a one of kind lense to match the rig.
That blows. It could always be worse. If that other door opens and there is a family/relative's business there, run (and see previous sentence).
Kirk, what rig(s) did you use to shoot these latest pics?
Can't say anything either way, as a fromer resident of the area. Although, in my opinion,I thought the prices were way high for what was being...
another item that i remember (I'm not sure of the specifics though) is that the Granada was a lighter? car than the T-bird or had a diff f/r...
I saw a tv spot that showed stolen stuff recovered that was for sale on craigslist.org You never know - if the list was extensive, something...
