That red tint was cool in the sixties, even looked for a pair of sunglasses in red. Anyway back to the present, nice work on that treadplate....
Is it those modern bear claw latches with a big pin to grab onto? Tried once loosening the nut holding the big pin so it could slide around a...

I can't think of a better recommended thread. You also could join the Hamb Mercury owners social group, some pics there. Trouble is most of...
I worked at a generator starter shop many many years ago. Posters are right, commutator shoud be turned, coils checked etc. Unless you have the...
Great photo coverage as usual, thanks Pro Photo Photography.
I thought so too, but I think I drew in the gray pretty close to the yellow and not beyond. But yes, photoshop lets you see only a partial look....
[IMG] I think it would be a good idea to sand off that yellow, get everything metal color. Easier to see the final shape without that distraction.
On the windlace I discovered that problem area after I installed the dash. I just got the windlace pushed in with the dash left in place....
with the red dash, tach, and scoop. Might as well stay consistent and go with those bright reds you see on those 55 and 57 chevs. That's what I...
That would be cool but don't let that stop you from posting pics. That other up high shot, looking from the back, against the tree background,...
I'll agree with the above. I don't remember any guys back then using sunvisors. But I saw that 50 years ago, it's not surprising that current...
Where da flippers!! just kidding, great photo.
What NAES said. You may not get the kingpin free at home. So having the unit free to take to a shop is a good idea. When I brought mine to...
Thanks. I'm pretty sure I also saw in the google search page "paint booth plans" .
Many of you have seen these old build pics before. The brush marks on the paint certainly date the photo. I remember this was before metallic or...
I've lost track there are so many different parts combined together. I wish I had the skills to do that. Btw, when I said the olds hood was...
The slick way would be to keep the extended fifty one fender intact, but relocate your trunk back even with the fender. Some work but you would...
There is a mail order company, Micro Mart I think that sells all sorts of hobby items. I'm sure I saw a complete desktop size spray booth with...
[IMG] I'm agreeing with fleetmaster, use those parts that make up the joint between the hood and fender. I think the shape of the hood front you...
Look at any professionally framed painting or photograph and there is a subtle larger area under the art than above. That is one problem with...
Really nice job! Falcongeorge, you can see on Humanfly's excellent last photo the rolls with the stuffing sticking out both ends. Looks like the...
Yes, the sandwich goes in one side of the pocket and the blinds come out the other side. Keep in mind I'm just a guy who bought the "how to...
There was an old thread and in it someone said another way of making the "sandwich" was to use two pieces of venetian blinds as the "bread"....
matches the shape of the grille bars, it's perfect.
Sounds good! The 2 inch gap I think will work, reduce that large yellow area in your avatar.
Nice metal forming of the roll pan pieces. The way the hood meets the grill (flush or maybe with a protruding lip) that's what people are going...
You can do some hammer work on the inside of the lip. This way the tire will rub on a rounded (hammered in) surface rather than grab on that edge...
Cool concept sketch. Lightening holes in the pedals and shifter say "performance/competition" to me. How about buckets that have a matching...
