At least 3 or 4 times a week during the spring/summer. Living in Michigan, I don't get the chance to drive it during the winter. I don't want it...
Pointless thread. Just wanted to share my 53's song. Always loved the distinctive sound of a ford flathead....
Maybe thats its way of telling you that it is all right? ;) Nothing constructive to add here other than like mentioned, sounds electrical to me.
Would you happen to have the VIN? It might help by doing a state by state search of the vIn with DMV in each state..?
I like the idea of copper tube, but I have used plastic tube for decades. I have to admit when I was younger, I did have an issue of chaffing a...
I just picked up a tubing kit which included fittings on ebay for about $8 if you cant find one locally, give evilbay a try.
Almost a Christine.. ;)
Not sure why some think it's a "new" thing. Red wheels has been around since the hot rod culture began. I know it's not "new", because this is a...
I really do miss the old school parts stores. There was one I used to go to all the time with my builds. It was called "Fischers Auto". Little...
You dont run a muffler? Doest the ox sensor send an error message to the ecm without one? BWAAAHAHAHA... ;) Posted using the Full Custom...
When I got my 53, and went on a treasure hunt through the seats and trunk, I found these burried deep in the trunk. One is not finished and just...
Good to see another Customline guy. I also have a 53 with the 8BA, and Fordomatic Auto (1st year for it in Customlines). I'm also an Airforce vet...
For that, I've always like the Opal GT (a.k.a. "Poor Man's Vette..") As if I could ever fit into one.. ;) [IMG]
My 53 on the side of a historic building in town (built late 1800s). This building in on Hwy 12 in White Pigeon Michigan. Every vintage car/hot...
I've known guys that made bushings from rawhide leather that seemed to work very well..
Understood. The question isn't exactly concerning "Rat" rods. I like em all, although not crazy about the extreem rat rods you see a lot today. My...
Not sure what you mean by the comment? Paint and color is not a part of the Classic/Rod culture?
My bride's family property there are several cars out on the 400 acre spread. There is one that has a tree growing through it like that as well....
Yes, that has always been a problem with primers, and flat colors. Primer isn't meant to be a "paint" due to that, it is designed to give paint...
I'm curios as to what everyone's favorite "Hot Rod" color. Long before "Rat" rods became the cool thing, I have always had a huge love for em....
Removed the "stang" pics so this thread won't be compremised. I like to see the pics.
Yep. But thats about my extent of knowlege on Mustangs between the .5 and the 65. But i also remember them saying it doesn't have the original...
If I remember (not sure), it's a 289 chevron.
Ok.. Who is willing to admit that they have forgotten to take the window mount speaker off the window and drove off? I did it only once. It didn't...
Love all things Von Dutch, and Big Daddy Roth. Growing up in the 60's and 70's, fell in love with them, and the cars because of it since a kid. I...
Removed the stang pics so the thread isn't compremised.
Here's a bad picture of an old coupe I took on the fly last year. It's been sitting on the edge of a crop field for the past 12 years that I know...
Another memory when I was a kid. There was a drive in down the highway from our house. On Wedsday nights, they would have "After Hours" movies...
I a m afraid it is too. The last time I was at a drive in, it was in California when my 16 year old daughter was just a toddler. I wanted her to...
I sure do miss em. As a kid, loved pilling into Dad's car when he wanted to take the family out to the drive in. And as a teen, loading as many...
