Do you know if the body mount positions and chassis the same from the firewall back?
Anyone know if a 53/54 Plymouth frame will interchange with a 55/56? Wheel base is 1 inch longer in 55 and the pedals come up from frame but...
juliano's sells some nice plates for the purpose. They have a large radius rounded edge so the chance of them "cutting" through the floors is much...
If you get no replies, the factory shop manual usually has the necessary tricks in it. Lots of glass will only go in "that way"
Fatman's (maybe others as well) does a Pontiac frame stub so you can put on a mustang, as Junkman suggests mods like that are much easier than a...
Things like this confirm the need for quality organizations like SEMA and the benefits of sites like this. Also much as we complain about some of...
That would be awesome, it is the mechanism that raises and lowers the window as per this link. Thanks http://www.danchuk.com/ItemForm.aspx?Item=11214
Can anyone tell me what the overall length is? Buddy is bringing one back for me and was wondering how long his suitcase will need to be. My car...
and the shoes are right up too? and piston can go back enough to draw fluid (building on what ClayMart suggested about a good old fashioned look see).
Check your pushrod length if you haven't already done so. It doesn't take much of a gap to have a big impact at the pedal. Cool looking car
If you can't find a factory installed one of that length then is likely too long. Is there an option to put in a longer "nosed" water pump then a...
My budget
Jeez the specs on that shot are virtually identical to my 47 Roadmaster. For once happy I am not as far along as I had planned. This should link...
Scarebird disc brake conversion on stock frame?
Water jetting glass should be more precise than sand blasting. It is used extensively in manufacturing to cut many different materials inlcuding...
Have a look at Tanks Inc. They make lots of older Buick and Chevrolet applications. They have the dimensions and pictures on their site. You might...
Instead of cutting the glass sandblast the piece off. Much less chance of breakage. If you go that route. Or use lots of soapy water and try using...
I got a fatman Cavalier conversion for my 47 Buick Roadmaster, isn't the Cadillac similiar?
First on list is anything you can paint yourself and get a decent job. I not sure what its like down there but because we are such a small market...

I put my battery under the seat but I built up a box area and sunk the battery so it was partially exposed underneath to ensure it would stay...
if you are cheapskate do it yourselfer like me. Some of the full sized 90's chevy truck's with the v-6 came with 5 speeds. Shouldn't be hard to...
Could you but a variable resistor in the circuit then adust the resistance? Use one of those infared thermometers to get the target range.
