Thank you, I’m not sure exactly how much it’s narrowed. Just made it so the cowl and inner wheel wells could drop over the frame with some wiggle...
FIrst up was to fit this wood tack strip sold by brookville. It takes a lot of slow sanding and fitting to get it to match the body. [ATTACH]...
Wouldn’t you want to fix the ignition issues first and dyno again before making any changes?
@vtwhead The top material is called Stayfast Oyster , it’s kind of an off white color. I haven’t done a great job posting details of the work...
Most of what’s been going on is small jobs to get everything finished up before blowing apart for paint. Cut up a stock throttle pedal to work...
I made it so you just take the 4 bolts out of the chassis and lower the whole assembly straight down to get the battery out. Thank you I really...
From the hunting around I did before, the PC 680 is the same battery that comes in “booster packs” . I let the car sit all last winter without a...
Thanks guys, yes it will have remote charging posts and a latching relay for a battery shut off. Next up was modifying some F1 mounts to get the...
Nothing too exciting for updates the last month, pulled the body off a little while back and got the floors all welded and finished up. Before...
@Xman Your old 3W was a great looking car. Look forward to this new build, keep the pics and details coming!
That was a great read, thanks for posting it
The @Angry Frenchman hooked me up with this nice old swan shifter. The bottom was bent and twisted so it was the perfect candidate to cut up and...
Thanks man it’s been a lot of fun so far, can’t wait to blow it apart for paint this winter.
I agree it’s not ideal to have a blind spot like that and I actually started with the tape further back but just didn’t like the profile it was...
I have been working on getting the top irons and bows modified to get the look I’m after. The windshield is a 2” chop and is the max I can go and...
Yes they are both mechanical
I had found that original one at a swap meet probably 5 years ago but didn’t know what it was from. After some searching and seeing how much nice...
If you punch in Top Knobs 7/8 chrome on eBay it will come up.
Here they are next to each other, original 49 Ford on the left [ATTACH]
Also got my switches installed on the dash with these neat chrome cabinet knobs that are a dead ringer for 49 Ford knobs but only about $5 each...
give me at least another year!
I did add some foam around the horse shoe but it has enough wedge and lean back that you feel pretty planted in the seat as is. I started by...
The offenhauser is a nice manifold design and is the best looking 3x2 in my opinion, I have this one for sale with nice rebuilt 97’s if you’re...
Really neat truck, Cadillac power to boot. I used Kilmat and two layers of that bubble wrap foil in my coupe and it works really well, you’ll be...
I have done this a few different ways and what I found was a real tuck and roll can not be sewn to sew foam. It needs only a muslin backing and...
Coolest wagon I’ve ever seen, you guys really knocked it out of the park!
SOLD
It was a bit of a gamble but I figured there was no way I’d get the bezel off and on without distorting it or damaging the chrome.
I bought this speedometer and Tach from the Hamb classifieds a while ago now because they were clean and a great price. My plan was to open them...
Thanks, I buy most of my upholstery stuff from Albrights supply
