For reference, here's some shots of the machine I want the right angle gear box for. It's got a long ways to go for sure. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This...
Thanks for all the input guys! There's some good options here. One other thing to add to the wish-list too I guess. The shafting and pulley ID's...
I removed the transmission and am in the process of mounting the main driving pulley to the back of the clutch housing, mainly to simplify things...
All my machines came from different places, and most had been modified to have individual motors, but I didn't like how they had been modified...
That's cheaper than what I was finding before! Good potential there.
I was afraid of that. I'm actually using a 235 inline 6 to power the machines, and am using pully reduction to drop the 1000 (or so) engine RPM...
I have a non-automotive quandary/application I could use your help with: One of my (many) projects is fixing up and setting up some old over-head...
I was able to get some activator from an Axalta distributor down in Houston. All they had in stock was slow acting though, so I'll need to wait...
I was afraid of that. I think this paint was mixed back in 2014-2015. I've been googling to see if there's a paint shop in the greater Houston...
So, back when my dad started restoring his 53' Ford F-100, he got the paint bought/mixed for it from a local auto part store, but then we moved...
Thanks! I've seen that style of boot, but it looks like it was only used on the F-1 trucks up to 52', but I might get one and see how it looks....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] We had a productive Saturday. My brother, one of my dad's neighbors, and I met up and...
[ATTACH] Here's an updated shot of the interior. Biggest hurtles right now are getting the peddles and column lined up, the dash hole cover panel...
Ok, I fixed the links to the old pictures by uploading straight to this site (It's great that I'm still able to edit an old thread like this!...
Sorry, I'll repost the pictures. Not sure what happened as I haven't used Photobucket for a loooong time.
The 49-52 mat fit perfectly! It has a few cracks and tears, but after a liberal bath in armor-all, I think I can get another decade or few out of...
Sorry for the lack of updates, but have made a bit of progress. I need to get some pictures, but we have a new OEM exhaust pipe installed (minus...
Couple things: I got a good used 49-52 floor mat that looks right. I'm going to clean it up and see how it fits. I also heard back from National...
[ATTACH] The instrument cluster is 99% done. The last bit is painting the outside of the bezel to match the dash. I have my first batch of...
I'm behind documenting my progress, but here's some: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is the inner front passenger fender. It was swiss cheese under the...
I'm bringing up this old thread as I'm looking for the same as the OP. I'd like to put in a door to door rubber floor mats in both my 53' chevy...
The windshield and back glass for sure have had extra goop added over the years, but other places around the car like around the door hinge screws...
Another area I'll need to address is the little seams above the drip rails. They had some kind of compound in them that has dried and fallen out...
I picked up a tube of 3M 08609 Black "Super Fast Urethane" to play with. It's the only thing O'Reiley's had. It's in a metal caulking tube though...
I'm working on a 53' Chevy 2100 4-dr. I replaced the windshield a year or so ago with a new gasket and some butyl rubber cord along the outside...
Thanks for the reply's. Double sided tape would be hard because 1: the surfaces being joined together are at most 3/16" wide, closer to 1/8", with...
Google isn't helping me out this morning. I just got the trunk emblem back from the chrome shop for my 53' 2100 4-door with Powerglide and am...
Another update on mine. I was able to remove the compressor board assembly and the cooling lines/coils without cutting or major bending, so I'm...
The tin cap on the top pushes off to reveal the end of the armature, retained with a nut. With that removed, you can carefully press the armature...
Here's a video I did a couple months back after getting mine running. Since then it's been all buttoned up and had the front rims finished. Also...
