I've been told by a reliable flathead guy that building a fan shroud for my '52 will make it run noticeably cooler. I'm hopin to take some decent...
I gotta agree. Timing isn't right for sellling if you're lookin to make some money. Christmas is comin, economy's in the tank, the cost of...
SAM'S Club here in town has something similar to that, but it has ALL cars of the '50's, which I think is pretty cool. It lets you see what was...
Sure does! Looks like its been sitting in the trees for about 30 years! It's cool, but I don't personally think its as cool as he thinks it is.
Happy Thanksgiving from Cheyenne, WY!!
Yes. By T-post, I do mean fence post. A large wood one works good too, if you're worried about damaging the piston itself. We used the t-post...
In my past experiences, using a green t-post and a sledge hammer (and plenty of WD-40) have never damaged a chevy 350 (at least the block) when...
Heck, even my '07 Suburban sounds like a tinny japanese horn compared to my '52s horns :D
My car is still the 6v system and I have the larger ones.
Those dont look like the horns in my 52. Mine have a large "bulb" on them. All the 54s I have seen are the same way. They mount under the hood, on...
Let me know if you need any other parts besides the piston. A buddy of mine is holding another flat head for me. Blocks junk, but everything else...
Welcome from Wyoming!
I have an extra STD piston out in the garage. No wrist pins or rings, but the piston looks brand new. $30 plus the ride? I can get you some...
I've been kinda kickin that idea around a bit for my 52 as well. Mine still has the stock flat head, but if it goes bad I was thinkin that might...
Yeah it'd be kinda nice to know what gauge metal he's using...
Wow...
Don't quote me 100% on that price. But for some reason, that number comes to mind as it relates to the hinges...
Yeah there is a guy that rebuilds and modifies the weak areas on these hinges. I looked it up and its $300. But, I looked into his processes and...
Sweet Jeff! Thanks!
Damn man that sucks! Sorry you have to sell your ride. But, like Jeff said, tough times call for even tougher decisions.
Still got a few things left if anyones interested. This will be the last bump before I start throwing things in the trash!
I still got a lot of this stuff. Make me an offer!
Seriously guys, don't be afraid to make me offers. I would hate to see this stuff just get thrown away when I know theres people out there that...
Damn dude! I am SO jealous of you! Your trip out, your scores and your trip home. Sounds like it been one "typical" old car trip. If you're...
I'll trade ya a set of 54 tail lights and a 54 heater control with cables!:rolleyes: Wish I had an extra $100! I'd take that Edelbrock and all the...
My 52 has a set of Aerostar spring under it (was that way when I bought it). The only issue I have is the steering seems to be a bit on the sloppy...
Just a quick bump to the top to see if anyone still needs any of these parts. Make me an offer on any or all prices folks! I'm not dead set on any...
Thats good to know. I haven't had any issues yet, and I am currently not running any fuel additives. However, I know its only a matter of time...
Welcome from Cheyenne, WY. And hey Merc, Ford its all the same. Just like Chevy, Olds, etc. All the same just different wrapping paper. Good to...
Sweet lookin ride!
