I reversed the spring eyes in the front, and lost a few leafs (don't remember how many) and I got 6 inches. I started out flipping the front axle...
That is and always will be my favorite car ever. As long as I am dreaming I'll take one with an original supercharger. CHAZ
I am going to drop the bed down over the frame as far as I need to so that it looks "right." I have a big pile of bed parts to make one that will...
I think I am going to do a combination of clipping the corners and also adding "webs." That should lengthen the joint visibly, and make it look...
Cutting the corners off and boxing it in would be no problem, and would make it look a whole lot better, I just thought that would be taking out...
Actually I can handle criticism and suggestion quite well, that is why I am here. You think it looks bad and is poorly done, thanks for your...
I am trying to wrap my mind around how this could effect caster. The front end of the frame (with the leaf springs attached) is still perfectly...
"Let's keep the flaming to a minimum. I will just assume that half of you think I am an idiot, and save you the trouble of typing it out!"...
This is really helpfull!
I honestly didn't care what it looked like because it would be hidden by the bed. I didn't "clip" the corners because I wanted as much metal as...
I am taking a little flack for the way I have the frame on my pickup cobbled together. I needed to use two frames to make one and I wanted to...
Nice Plymouth in the last photo there! CHAZ
I should really take some pics. I have a Mopar flat six block in my garage with those cheap ass put together furniture casters stuck in about a...
FEDEX dropped something off for my mom while I was there (coffee pot). It was glass, and there was no question it was smashed to a million pieces...
Oh, Wait, I know the answer to this! He is going to work on it until it is almost ready to drive on the street and then sell it. What do I win?...
Easiest swap you could do is another 218 or 230! I drive a '53 Plymouth (about 1,200 miles this summer) and there is nothing wrong with a well...
I wish I had the link, but I saw an Ebay add for some old junker where you could literally see a possum in the pictures they were using to...
"Brookie" my '53 Plymouth has got your electrical system beat. I think there may be one breaker somewhere under the dash, but other than that it...

Boy that makes my cab look like crap, thanks! Great job, the next thing I am doing on mine is filling the dash, I hope it comes out half that...
I learned to drive mostly in a '69 Galaxie that had been my great grandfathers. It sat for about 5 years after he died before they gave it to me,...
My brother said that he got an article somewhere saying you could "spike" them with a welder and bring them back? CHAZ
I admire your admission, really the hardest part of suffering with ADD is Oh look a chicken! CHAZ
I have a '53 Cranbrook with a 218. I am actually getting fond of the old three on the tree, but I am sure my wife would rather have an auto, and...
"Wow. Your rebuttal makes you even more of an uninformed ass-clown. Posted By: David Russell | Sep 24, 2008 9:51:53 AM " I found this on the...
I'm thinking grudge match between "Brookie" my '53 Plymouth and Chopo's Falcon! That would be 388 cubic inches (combined) of pure mayhem. CHAZ
I thought I would post an update in case someone stumbles on this thread while doing a search (do we do that around here?). Anyway I bought one...
I just hit the spindle with a flapper wheel until I got all the grooves off, and then polished it up with fine emory cloth. I set the adapter on...
I am starting to instal a disc brake kit on my 1950ish F1 pickup. I got the kit from speedway, but the basic adapter kit had CPP printed right on...
I ckeck my barn like every other day, and there is never anything in there! CHAZ
