Unfortunately I was not able to find contact info for Lee, but I’ll try again and see if I can find anything. As for the coupe, well here’s a...
That’s too cool! Roy’s a great guy. Met him at the first Pinetree Jamboree in 2021 up in Maine. That’s pretty neat! I wonder how many tags he’s...
Well it hasn’t been troublefree, but I logged the first 1,000 miles on the coupe! Speedometer showed just 21 miles when I got the car. All 4 tires...
SOLD SOLD SOLD 1933-1934 Ford Front Frame Rails Were sandblasted and primed, but starting to surface rust. Some pitting inside and out. Fairly...
What a cool find!!
You’re probably right. It turns into re-engineering everything unfortunately. Can’t buy this slave cylinder (it’s actually a wheel cylinder)....
Pushrod does clear all the way, even when the piston is all the way pushed in. I did purchase an NOS international rebuild kit for the clutch...
Unfortunately still being plagued by clutch problems! Fortunately it’s not from slipping, but rather not being to fully disengage the clutch and...
Had the coupe out over the past weekend, looks good sitting out in the sun! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This one finally made it down the strip after a 50 year slumber! [ATTACH]
Thank you! And thanks for the cool shot!
Nothing too impressive yet, did a half dozen passes, best was 9.8 seconds in the 1/8th mile at 71MPH. She’s definitely got more potential, gotta...
Had a blast this weekend up at the Northeast Vintage Drags in Oxford Maine! Made a half dozen passes, went pretty good! Excited to come back next...
So I cheated a little on the requirements…. But I’m pretty sure they were building it to race with this plush interior! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thank you seadog! I appreciate the kind words! It’s been quite a process, but I like to think I did this old girl some justice!
Thank you! Yes, I way underestimated how much time it would take to polish… still a way to go! But it’ll be worth it in the end
So I just couldn’t leave the intake full, and I’ve started to polish it…. What a project! I’ve got it sanded out to about 1000, a few more steps...
Thanks Tim! To be honest, I’m not sure what it’s from. I bought the grille how you see it. It was sectioned 6”, and the insert and bar that goes...
It took a little while, but I worked out a deal on the last two scoops. Picked up two new O’Brien Trucker scoops and swapped them for the missing...
Thanks for the real world experience. I’m looking forward to getting it up and running… but I’m a little worried about all the tuning! Haha Yea...
Thanks for the info! I’ve been wondering about how to set it up. I’d been thinking about starting with the center two, then going to the outer 4...
Working on this intake… had to do a mock-up! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Love this thread! My coupe has a minor 7”+ channel. It was actually channeled two different times, and then unchanneled an inch in the front....
Amazing transformation! Absolutely love the stance of the chop too- you nailed it!
I’m pretty partial to 60’s Chrome slot steelies. Guy here on the HAMB had a set of 4 NOS ones, even with the right bolt pattern for my coupe,...
Funky, but awesome! I hope ya got some more updates for us??
Can’t help ya with history, but man is that coupe cool! And please, keep it channeled!!
Another 100 miles cruise today, up to Dorchester NH to take a little (132 pound) load of scrap copper to the junkie and then on to visit the...
Yes it was quite the event! I wish I had a good video to show the road going up to the top… it was no joke! I only made two runs up, the second...
So I managed to fix the clutch slipping issue. New Ram street/strip pressure plate took care of that. I found two stray springs when taking out...
