Need to get the interior in this 57 done this year. 10k miles on beach towels haha[ATTACH]
He was working in the back of a local sheet metal shop and was building it in spare time. He retired and had to drag it home. He tarped it and...
Noted. Thank you
I thought off topic was a kosher place for newer equipment ang things.
A friend of mine with a wood mill cut this black walnut up for me for the car. Stoked for it to dry and to fit it

In the open panels below the windows i know I know its a "woodie" but if you knew my woodworking skills you wouldn't want to ride in a real...
Kinda made me laugh that they took it down for the wheels. Oh well
Cubic dollars is right
Decided to go a different direction with my Build. So my loss. 8ba flathead to AOD or C4 adapter kit with everything needed to bolt up starter...
Car came with an 8Ba i found a rebuilder (i know its a little early in the build but he is older so I didn't want to lose my chance to have him...
Ok I posted this first in the traditional thread and leaned that this really isn't a traditional build (i am new to hamb forgive me). So this is...
That is a gorgeous 150
Shouldn't weigh much more than a tudor body. The "cage Really shouldn't weigh but 50 or 60 pounds more than a tudor body. The "cage" is just 18...

Thats the best part!!! I dont have to be a cabinet working!!
I did also remember I have a 3 speed with a borg warner r10 overdrive as well. I think a manual would be much more fun in all honesty. Is there a...

Its complete but its not perfect. Factory bore but hole 7 has a pretty good scar in it. 1957 model year. Crank is good and rods look good. Head...
That is an absolutely stellar build!!! If you need any falcon trim parts I may have some stashed!!!
I will definitely stop in! Most of my builds fit there. I definitely want to keep this one old school though. Including as I think of it at least...
Your exactly right on the nose there. I did well with my 57 build and it has a truly great balance. And because of that I drive it well and often...
I absolutely love the way the flat 6 runs in my 48 plymouth
I will make sure I put a build thread on this one
Thats the thing, the body is decidedly more 60s hot rod than 50s all curvy and styled. And that opens me up to more era stuff like 9 inch ford...
I have noticed that when looking at rebuild parts and mine unfortunately has one bore with a pretty nasty scar
I am new to the early ford scene but I have always been interested in it. I was fortunate enough to pick me up a 30 model a custom woodie built by...
