I run a 3.50 gear with my mild 302 and AOD and it cruises just fine down the interstate
Just a head's up that all of this will be in the float bowls, needles, and any internal filters inside of the carb as well.
The one on the left is a 55 and is missing the lower section where the center bar connects.
My car sat for a few years and the ethanol ate the inside of the rubber fuel line making the same mess you are seeing. When you replace that line,...
Great looking car! Only change I would make would be to uncork those headers and cruise it.
Funny - I was about to post something similar. I too have an issue with the fuel draining back after sitting. I crawled under the car the other...
No idea on the spinners but the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw them was WWII and the US Army Air Corps or RAF. How do they attach?
Received my acceptance and planning on being there. Really looking forward to it!
Nicely done! Very entertaining.
Man, what a great looking hotrod! Everything about it is perfect!
I was sent a picture of what I need. However they didnt have them. Does anyone else have some like this? [ATTACH]
I have some like that but they do not work. The base has to be flat.
I just looked at the mounting holes in the car and they are indexed differently from the picture I posted of a truck sun visor. The truck has the...
I'm looking for interior sun visor brackets for my '55 Ford 2-door sedan and google searches return only brackets for trucks. Did Ford use the...
Thanks! Much appreciated.
So maybe you can "accidently build a y-block" in the next few months?
Similar to the one in my '55. Another SBF from a late model Mustang
Then later that year I decided the plain gray primered car was missing something and decided it was time to start laying down some scallops. I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I drove it like this for another year and then in 2023 decided...
With the outside looking better, I shifted my focus to the interior. I started small with the rear package tray. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Then found...
And finally got the stainless trim polished and on the car [ATTACH] Then almost a year to the date of my last gas station picture I drove over...
With the lower panel now in epoxy primer I felt the rear deck lid looked out of place still blue and thus began the slippery slope of getting the...
The car sat there for the next 5 years until covid hit in 2020. By this time, I had moved into a new house, had a kid off at college and finally...
Recall earlier where I stated the car had been found parked under a lean-to in South Atlanta. Well the driver’s side drip rail was rusted...
Somewhere in here is where it was determined that the GM605 power steering box with the Ford pump was NOT going to work. The steering was twitchy...
We put a new gas tank out back and then converted the stock sending unit over to the modern sending unit before dropping it into place in the...
This is when the custom touches began. I was never a fan of the ’55 dash and we were converting the car to 12volt so we found a ’56 dash and...
We upgraded the rear brakes to use 1966 Ford Galaxie shoes and drums so we could get the larger 2 ¼” shoes. Once outside I determined the nose...
It was here that we realized the stock wheels would not work with the larger center bore size of the Granada rotors so I found some wheels from a...
I lost the build thread of my ’55 with the recent demise of the Social Groups so thought I would re-create it on the main board. I realize I...
