Is it possible to put the valves in the freezer without damaging them? This would make them shrink a little bit. If you find a secure way to warm...
I would also go with the brighter colour. Its more elegant and makes the car look bigger and even more impressive. Sent from my Moto G (5S)...
You might be right about that. On a side note, I know I am probably the only one on the HAMB but from all the legendary early Kustom Mercs this...

I am also selectively social, but I would like to have some like-minded car people in my area but there are simply none. However I would never...
That's a german night driving light, called "Notek"- light.
He did not work with cars but was an artist, painter and sculptor. I visited his workshop 20 years ago, but he has quit working there long ago. I...
I completely overlooked the 39 headlights! Where there any 39/40 Fords built with a sunroof? Or was this also a military conversion? The pics are...
Sgt. Schultz: Our Ford always gets too hot. Hogan: Add some louvers. Sgt. Schultz: You mean like this..... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Saw this...
Cool project. Cool place also where you are working, with the brickstone walls. Reminds me of a Spanish friend's workroom in an old textile mill...
That makes sense because I have often read/heard that horse shoe nails caused a lot of tire damages before the war. Sent from my Moto G (5S)...
I wonder what makes it a 1934 Roadster if it was built from fiberglass and scratch.
I once washed my british 64 Ford with a pressure washer. Water was pressed into the rear lights which caused a short. I was lucky because I saw...
That's the shipping quote that I expected. Shipping massive metal pieces that are 74" long by post or whatever other parcel service is expensive...
Yes, Jerry Quesnel's is one of my favourite mercs, but I do not have the balls to chop mine. My car was originally sold in Austria in 1950 and is...
The highest 49 Merc I have ever seen.... that rear view :eek: - stance is everything, funny.
Car is still existing and still looks the same. There is even a wikipedia article on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Reactor_(show_rod)
Do you still have it?
Great looking car, not the "usual" custom, but cool. Sent from my Moto G (5S) using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Beautiful car, but too low for my taste. When you park and lower it that much even the smallest stone will damage your paint job.
I have never looked into 6V Optima batteries. Which one do you use? I have always bought German VARTA 6V batteries, because they are easier to...
x2 on that. The batteries are the biggest disadvantage. 6V Batteries that you get nowadays are crap and expensive. They are not easy to find,...
Stunning!
Side pipes were on the car when I bought it but I had taken them off years ago. Last week I put them back on for a change and I like it. Gives...
I have always wondered about those ornaments on the hood/fender. Do they have some secret meaning that has been lost over the years? [ATTACH]
Hi Michael, your car is simply fantastic and I have followed your build since the beginning. You have really come a long way. I remember when you...
I have 6.70 15 BF Goodrich Silvertown on my Merc and they look good. They also measure about 27.2 (69 cm). [ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent from my Moto G...
I would try to put the same tire on all 4 wheels. 670-15 is a cool looking tire. Your car is not small so it needs adequate tires. Too small looks...

Same here, very annoying.
