Back to the quickchange. I borrowed @brsturges ‘ Banjo Bell Build Base trick. I can see how this could make things easier. I made them stout...
Not much of and update. Things have been busy, and the shop pretty cold. I did buy some petals listed as 39. I don’t think they are. Oh well. I’ll...
Thanks guys, Super helpful! Yes, the half moon spot by the bolt hole. Glad to know it’s not a deal breaker. The photos are from two sets I have,...
I’m trying to select a decent set of bells for my rear end project. Are the flange indents (photos below) something other than damage, and if...
Bumping this old thread because it’s so damn informative. Big thanks to @brsturges
This came today. Cheapest repop on eBay, but looks the part until the day I can lay down cash for a real one. [ATTACH]
Welp…here we go. [ATTACH]
The seat looks great, good job. They’re a pain to do for sure. Perfection is overrated
Grease under the nails and poor social skills
I would suggest starting with a small sheet of 18 or 20 gauge cold rolled steel from your local hardware store. Get a small shot bag and a couple...
What a nightmare. Hopefully well insured.
I’m still here as well! Just living vicariously through you as my tank is still in the rafters :)
lol there is at that!
Yup, the little stripper disks work well. One disk stripped the full panel. Found a couple of small dings and a little pitting, but it’s an honest...

The 57 has been taking all the time and money recently. Not to mention the new seat upholstery for the 53 and a Fenton split exhaust found at the...
Getting some air [ATTACH]
That’s what came to my mind too. Two different sizes on the exhaust.
Maybe I’m a little too optimistic, but always considered HAMB members as different than Craigslist hounds and Facebook flakes. I’ve both found and...
Also a lot of info here somewhere with respect to rear window height, pie cuts etc. Also the third hinge, keep or kill…

That looks fantastic! I finished up the seat kit for my 3100 today. Much better than it was, but I think very much in the deflated tit category....
All the time in the world, and nothing newer than ‘57 in the shop. :) [ATTACH]
Maybe, there were refrigerators, bicycles, tools etc.; everything you’d want for Christmas. I framed it this afternoon, so unfortunately too late...
Today, first shot at an upholstery kit for our 53 3100. Can’t be worse than it was :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Picked this up at a thrift store a while back. 1949 Firestone catalog from a former service station here in Ellensburg Wash. The Camoxxy Williams...
I went with Fordwood also for my model A. Fit well but as was mentioned, small operation so had to wait a bit for them to run a set for coupes....
Looks fantastic. It’s been great watching your build
Wow, long time! Time to build another?
I want this. cheap entry into the Willys world. Then, of course no money for the rest of your life as you source parts. :)...
