As I mentioned earlier, here is that parts list for the 12v conversion: http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/miscellaneous/5412volt.htm
What part of PA are you in? This whole deal bears a pretty eerie resemblance to where I was with my 51 hardtop last year at this time, except...
I was considering myself lucky to make it up there in one piece, wasn't feeling like pushing my luck quite that far *yet*. If I can get things a...
Might consider Jalopy Showdown socks too. Definitely a big thanks from me for putting on this show. This and the showdown drags are my favorite...
Glad you liked it. I don't know about a poster print, the original could probably be printed up to 30x40 though. It seems like the little...
<camerageekery>It's a Nikon D80. Most of the static show shots were taken with a Sigma 10-20mm, the on-track shots were taken with a Nikkor 50mm...
Ha. I must have missed you posting a link to them already. Thanks for the compliments on the panned shots. I'm still learning this camera. By...
I just got these off the camera and posted them. Enjoy... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Nowhere near the same league as...
I think what you want to look for specifically is called a "Fisher Body Manual". You might have some luck hunting around on this site:...
Ok, you're not actually talking about bushings, but rather the grease seals. They'll work but they're a pain in the ass to deal with. What you...
[img] I'll be there friday night in this if I can get the gremlins tamed.
Not sure about where you are, but around here it would be tough to pick up a usable 12 bolt for under $500 - open or not. Ford 8"/9" rears are...
[IMG] This was one of my favorites too. Stared at it for hours as a kid thumbing through my dad's old mags.
I think ttarver is thinking of the upper outer. It's been a while since I did the ones on my 51, but I think that you basically make your own tool...
http://chevy.tocmp.com/miscellaneous/5412volt.htm That link helped me out quite a bit when I did my '51. You can pretty much just print it out...
I'll second that. You just couldn't help but smile seeing that thing making passes.
If no more new parts fall apart on me, I'll be there in the 51.
I'll be there, still not sure about the car though.
I don't really know where to begin here. Are you looking for a "car" or a "project car"? Is this solely a project car for you? Can you honestly...
NCA (http://www.nationalchevyassoc.com/) has your repro 1 piece bumpers. They look pretty nice, but time will tell how well the chrome holds up on...
I like the toothed grille too. What are the teeth off of?
I looked things over again. I'm pretty sure that the bumper is the straightest thing going on at the moment. The driveway is fairly level... or at...
Not totally finished underneath the car yet, but once again a few small bits are going to need ordered in. Since I haven't seen the thing on the...
Hey Ryan, not suggesting that you do this, but if the car in question is your '53... just for a point of comparison... NCA has a complete exhaust...
You haven't had the MII setup on your car for very long have you? Although it does seem like the springs crapping out is the most obvious culprit...
Why go with a 216 intake rather than a 235 intake?
Good advice there. I didn't mention that I'm not intending to keep the springs in mine for long. This fall I'm planning on doing bags, so I wasn't...
Not sure how far you are looking to go, but you can get somewhere around a combined 4" by using dropped uprights, steering arms and cut springs...
Here you go.
