It will be in the last place you look.
This sounds similar to the set up on the 56 Olds 88 coupe I am currently dismantling. One the inside of the door there is a garnish molding that...
Call Posies. They should be able to tell you if the spring mounts are the same as a 3100. You might want to run a tape over your mounts so you...
and you think that is the worst spelling you have seen on this site? :rolleyes:
While I agree with what your are saying just realize that giving this advice is like pissing into a headwind. Some people just will not take the...
List of possible solutions (select one or all): Replace water pump with high flo model - Edelbrock or FlowKooler ( I use a FlowKooler on my SBC)...
I hope you have recent picts of those fenders as good metal does not last long in that environment (Gulf Coast salt air + chemical refinery...

I was hoping to use some YOM truck plates on a 58 Chevy truck we are working. As the truck will not be on the road for a couple of years I needed...
Looking at the rust repairs needed to the cab gave me deja vu from my 54 project. Be careful with that tripod engine stand. They tend to tip...
I am using the same fan in my 54. Here are a couple of pics of it installed early in the build. I have since modified the mounts to take all the...
The rubber ring is a spring isolator and there should be one on each side from the factory. It cushions the spring against the subframe and...

I do not recommend using those extruded aluminum blocks you can buy in a kit from the local FLAPS. The alum will not survive and will fail at the...
Everyday possible, rain or shine, is drive my hot rod day. Does me no good to sit and look at it parked in the garage. Built it, drive it,...
Not entirely correct in regards to the "Classic" You can get "Classic Car" or "Classic Truck" plates for your ride and there are no...
Welcome to Texas. If you plan to drive your truck daily while running an antique tag please do those of us on the road with you a favor and...
Sounds like a dickhead but that said, if you are running antique plates and not abiding by the rules for them just to save some $ then I cannot...
The chassis you are considering using is actually the worst one possible. It is much too wide for the AD body. The best options for these...
On the 54 I am using a sheetmetal plate to mount the stock style taillights and the Norlipp backup lights together. The plate bolts to the stock...
Rosharon is located just south of the Houston area. You might see if someone around here can check it out for you. I did that for another Hamber...
Although it will take some time for that body, surface rust can be removed using naval jelly and steel wool. The areas you cannot get to can be...
Can't tell from the pics if it is a 54 or a 55.1 as the hood emblems are missing and the pics do not show the drive shaft configuration. It has a...

Nice project. If you are needing an ash tray for that dash send me a PM.
That sounds exactly like my exhaust leak did. It was more noticiable at idle just like yours. It did not get worse at higher RPM. Must be my...
Sounds like the valves are adjusted too tight. I typically try to get the valve adjustment close on a fresh motor and then fine tune the valve...
If it has headers my bet is a blown header gasket. Had a similar knock on an engine at idle speed that turned out to be a blown gasket.
