Lookin' good! Subscribed as well! Post some pictures of some steel wheels and WWW's!

BTW, the booster I have is a 3 studded one and I was told that I need a 4 studded one. I bought a new M/C as well for a 74 Nova with front disc...

Did anyone get a chance to snag any photos of the bands?
Curtis, the show was killer! Me and the rest of the band had a blast playing and staying for the later bands that night! My only complaint is all...
While on the subject of cooling here... What brand water pump is recommended? I was thinking just running a basic iron deal from NAPA or Auto Zone...
I have heard that sbc 350 runs hotter than a Ford small block 302. Not sure if there's any truth to this but heard it more than a handful of times...?
metal man provides some good advice... I have not borrowed money from any banks or anything but did start my shop while already in debt with a car...
Would this be the correct m/c:...
Well guys I am going to go with the regular steel lines I have decided 100% on. Now while on the subject, one more question... I have a kit from...
Ray, the thing is pretty darn clean from just looking at it. I will give it a shot and if it starts to over heat I'll buy a new one. I plan to...
I am thinking about insuring my 49 Ford Coupe through Grundy... This is good to know. I got a quote from them and Hagerty and for some reason...
I dig the purple actually (not the pin striping though)! Yeah I am thinking black wheels on mine. That or just do the full hubcaps and let it roll...
Thanks guys. I am leaving the bumpers and everything. I will paint the dash and interior panels white like suggested by snelson57 actually and I...
I stripped the engine compartment as you can now see and painted it with black epoxy primer. The white was nice to match the exterior but next...
As promised... Some pictures! Nothing much but it's something. Still need to finish the engine later this week as far as water and fuel pump,...
motoandy, everyone is camping out Friday and that is the pre party from what I know.
I like chopped, unchopped, etc. As long as they are done right, they all look good. I guess none here would like my chopped 49 Coupe then... Oh...
Looks good! How does it cool in the summer and in traffic? At first I was dead set on this Mustang unit but today a few people looked at the used...
I am looking at either a 64-66 Mustang radiator or a 55-57 Chevy Radiator to run in my 49 Ford coupe. MII front subframe (Fat Man), 350 sbc,...
Update!... Well I finally got my 49 further along than the last time I posted and hope to have it wrapped up and somewhat drivable within 3 weeks....
I think I will be running the booster and M/C on the firewall. I know it looks cleaner without it but not sure about under the floor... I like...
I may just roll with the steel lines. Easy and cheap to get and the idea about painting them is great. I will probably get the cast aluminum...
Sweet! Man that looks awesome, I need one for my shop!!! I need about 20 signs for my shop in that size actually. Definitely going to check his ad...
It's not a daily driver that's for sure... Frame off resto pretty much. It was a frame off job back in the 80's and then repainted and all chrome...
I am going to be ready to install brake lines on my 49 Ford coupe in less than 2 weeks. I have been making a list gathered for everything I need...
Anyway you could PM me info on that Bowtie? I would possibly be interested in it, especially since it's in NC and not too far of a drive for me. I...
Cap em and go! If you do paint then the green that is on the roof, thats it. Just my 2 cents worth...
