The floor is entirely flat, actually! But, I don't like the idea of intermingling the wood with new steel, that's the main reason I am putting...
What Mustangs are you guys even talking about? I'm thinking the c-channel might be a good idea, however, if it's not welded to the frame, it...
Are you talking about the original seats? They were mounted to a piece of wood that runs the length of the cabin, which is bolted to the frame...
I've never heard of people being cut in half, but this is what I'm worried about. Maybe the night crew can shed a little light...
Were you rear ended? Did you have headrests? No seat belts is not an option for me. The body bolts to the frame in the front and rear through...
First off, I'm working with a 1935 Pontiac Coupe, obviously. It's pretty much the same as 35-36 Chevys, Buicks, etc, with the wood framing of the...
Hello from Dekalb, originally from Princeton. Enjoy your stay here!
I wouldn't weld the housing end on without the jig. There are backyard ways to narrow the axle without cutting off the housing end, but those...
Terd Ferguson... It's a funny name, heh. Did you get this thing solved on your drive? I'm in agreement with some of the other guys that it...
Agreed. A 7.5" rear is a bit wimpy for a big block.
Thanks chopped, I am definitely not looking to replace any wood any time soon. That just does not appeal to me! I'm actually looking at the...
I'm attaching a picture of my "B-pillar" and as you can see, there's not a whole lot to mount to. The wood is 70+ year old oak and I don't feel...
My apologies to the original poster for hijacking this thread, I intended to add to the discussion of your problem and it went OT for a bit and...
Well poop. I thought it was good. I can see the point about the bar across the back though, I'll check into it. As far as my setup, this is...
No... :( No bar. So would you pass the belts around the rear of the bar to give the belts something solid to pull forward against? I have...
I put 4 points mounted to the floor to avoid this situation, but it sounds like I may have done it wrong. Chopped- you sound like you know what...
Depending on how far you want to drive, I had a guy down in my hometown do my engine work a few years ago and was really happy with him. He's in...
Plumb has the way I'd do it but that's with an explorer rear. Sounds like you got a mark which wouldn't be as strong as the explorer. What width...
Hey, I completely understand wanting AC in Texas, but I think I'd rather punch myself in the junk than move there. I was in Houston in late june...
Well played, sir. And mine still has the cowl vent, that's all the a/c I need.
Check out moser, strange, or currie. They all list prices on their sites but you're looking at a good 350 plus shipping both ways... What width...
I got there about 930 and was #629 and got stuck in the back. I was in a little parking lot with not much action.. Oh well it was fun either way!...
I'm having a hard time trying to get help on a decklid too! My problem is different from yours tho... Apparently the hinge people are taking the...
I've figured out that I have a trunk lid, if there is a difference. But the universal hinges aren't wanting to mount. The wood frame is in the...
2nd on water cooling if you're using any sort of power sanding. I did mine by hand and was ok.
I got a flyer for it at Gears and Ears, the 4 PM time is the cruise night. Registration for the regular show runs from 8-noon with awards at...
Nobody? Btt for the night crowd...
Which bearing? Small bearing can do the crown vic swap, but 4.5" BC. If you do new housing ends, then you can do the explorer swap, but 4.5" BC...
I'm trying to figure out what I have for a decklid for my 1935 Pontiac. I assume that the Chevy's, Buicks, etc from the same body style are the...
Welcome from DeKalb... Which p-town? I've heard of several places referred to as "p-town" in IL. Princeton, Prophetstown, Peoria... What...
