I like them full fendered too. :)
Been running a TH350 for over 7 years without having the passing gear. No issues at all. It has a B&M shift kit installed and shifts great. The...
I would not chop it. My sedan had great tin and I couldn't see cutting such a solid car. It lasted so many years that way, and glad it did....
Won't have the car, but plan to check out the show Saturday. Is there a a swap meet area by chance?
Local to upstate NY area. Seen it at some cruise nights around Latham. Nice build.
Sounds great, I'm ready.
Thanks for all the info. Ended up finding someone who had an original set to work with. Yes, they are tough to find.
Wondering if anyone knows where to source parts on wheel cylinders for a 1948 International KB7 truck? They are Wagner Lockheed FD 6020 & 6021....
Been playing guitar since 1988, been in various bands over the years, and always enjoyed hot rods.
x2 on what greg32 wrote. Mine has no insulation, foil, or coating. If it gets wet, it dries faster than being covered. It also gives a nice...
Running your wiring under the cowl/firewall area makes for a clean looking install. Although the car runs a full hood, it's nice to have a smooth...
One suggestion is to reverse the firewall. This allows a further setback, and removes the top portion which on a stocker would normally cover the...
Lots of good posts and input. Had a frame mounted rack from the previous owner. Liked how easy the wheel turned and the install was good, but...
That's a good idea. I was thinking of making some openings in my visor to cut down on the noise from air pushing below. Like the idea of...
Stock as seen in my avatar pic.
It might be an old thread, but the story is timeless. Very interesting.
The mig welder (if available to you) with a copper backing piece is a good method, followed by flapper wheel on grinder to smooth out.
Since you aren't looking to race, a 2.88 ratio makes for a nice cruiser at highway speeds for daily driving. This used with a 350/350 setup, Jag...
Mechanical fan behind a Walker radiator, been using for a few years, works great, no problems.
Installed the B&M shift improver kit, 1st one ever, works good, seems worth it for the money.
Had an 88 strat as my first real guitar, it played great. Either playing in a band or hanging out around cars made for good times. The So-Cal...
Years ago my Dad bought a Lincoln 220 mig welder, it was early on when the digital display first was introduced. Works good to this day,...

My Great Uncle raced this in the 1950s at Fonda Speedway in NY.
I installed the tall shifter on a turbo 350 also. Mine took a good amount of adjusting to get perfect. Locks in park as it should. It took some...
I replaced the stock glass many years ago, unfortunately, no pictures. I'm trying to remember, there were a couple of recessed set screws that...
x2 on the Shelby factory, worth the trip. Interesting place only a short ride from the strip. Had the free inside tour which was nice to see.
Outside of Vegas, think it was Laughlin, there was a small car museum years ago, nothing over the top, but had some old cars in it, stock ones, no...
x2 on the AutoCAD. Great precision just by scaling to a known dimension. It helps if the picture is a straight shot, meaning a nice level...
Thank You to all who have served and are currently serving our country. God Bless.
