This ... [ATTACH] to replace this. [ATTACH]
Just got this project. Gonna redesign that abominable dash, do a LOT of detail work, stop the rust but keep the patina, and maybe go with chrome...

What did this seat come out of? Seat back folds, release handles on both sides. [ATTACH]

Finally down to the last step of frame prep - filling holes, removing extraneous brackets and adding new ones, cleaning up welds, etc. Then off...
Of course we all know a 4" narrower axle requires a 4" narrower spring. And naturally I would have a 2" narrower spring in my storage shed, but...
I then set out to find someone to straighten the axle. A local truck shop took it assuring me they could do it. After six weeks they had been...
I wanted to drill the '48 axle that had come on the car. It was badly bent as well as twisted and would require straightening so I decided to...

Amen to that. Interesting side note. My son, who is a long time Ford now Toyota mechanic, told me Ford and Honda had problems with brake...

Here is the replacement for the bolt that backed out. I don't think it is going anywhere. Thanks for jogging my memory Squirrel. I agree the...
Yep, that's a Fat Man Mustang II setup with tubular control arms and coil spring and separate shock.
