The victor performer I found is machined in USA and assembled in mexico. the smiths torch set which is now owned by miller is made in usa. the...
Would this be a good kit?...
good point. Would you only buy victor because of parts and interchangeability?
Is it a good idea to buy a Smiths little torch over a standard medium duty OXY/AC kit? I learned to braze and weld with a standard torch but lots...
Does anyone have any leads for a huge photo of the Gary Howard Jimmy Vaughn 54 ford? I love this car and would love to have a poster size print...
[IMG] Just kidding :D
At first I thought where is the humor in this? I watched it a while ago and couldn't remember anything funny. Thought it was a crazy kinda cool...
Thanks guys, can't wait to make some progress on it.
A little progress! Got some doors. Were told they were 52 convertible doors but they look identical to the stock 54 hardtop doors. $100 for two....
Really cool. And maybe I am alone in saying this but I don't think your dads work on the frame was bad at all! Considering what the rat rods...
If you wouldn't mind taking some quick measurements and a few photos. I would appreciate it very much.
Wow guys thanks for the help! I really do appreciate it. Gonna pick up some doors this weekend and wanted to be sure they would fit. I assume the...

That is a nice looking car. I wish I had the money or the space for it!
The windshield frame wasn't affected at all I measure the opening and it is square the windshield wasn't cracked or anything. My dad is the one...
I think this one has a 390 and a four barrel should be pretty quick. It is a bummer about the FE that you can't really tell what you have unless...
This is my thinking and it looks a ton worse than it really is. New floorpan rocker and toe board and mostly there. Just need to find a 54 ford...
When going for a test drive the kid who owned it was driving and was trying to show off how fast the mystery FE engine is and slid on ice hitting...
I was trying to make a joke. It obviously didn't work.
So do I just bring my own sleeping bag and tools?
From what I know which isn't much the bodies are the same. I can't see any differences. The head and tail lights fenders grill inner fenders and...
WOW! That car! That shop! Are you accepting applications for internships?
I heard from multiple people that the 54 fenders are also 1" taller.
I heard something about painting a car with a vacuum a long time ago but this thread reminded me and I didn't even know it was a real thing....
That is what I was thinking all the photos I have seen they look identical. The fact that 54 fenders are unique caused some problems when I got a...
Lots of work to do! But I want focus on the positive! It has good wheels tires suspension solid FE drive train and disc brake conversion in the...
Are they all interchangeable? Will convertible doors fit a 1954 hardtop?
Blame the rat rodders.
