If your floor is still reasonable, maybe there is a swage where the b pillar of a 2 door would weld to as a double check or rivet holes for the...
I measured a 2 door tears ago and the scrap of paper is very faded now but I'm thinking the door at the swage line will be 43 1/2" and the cavity...
I like the ray gun approach with the 3 white rings, maybe a little shorter but with a peaked red end, shaped like a 56 chev taillight maybe. Love...
I had a 32 roadster years ago, the previous owner put a louvered belly pan attached to the bottom of the chassis rail. The exhausts ran between...
That's a refreshing rear treatment, not so much the front. Now what happens with a light section of 2 inches, followed with a 3 inch chop with a...
Did you check your clutch fork and throw out bearing on the bell housing bolted to the gearbox making sure it is all centred and works properly on...
Anhydrous citric acid, used by food and winery companies, I buy it from the local farm supply company. It lasts such a long time, I don't find any...
I've been using citric over 10 years, does a great job. Item needs clean of grease and oil and underseal. Will soften primer but not paint. Will...
Have you thought about one or two, sprung loaded trunk supports out of a 46-8 Ford coupe.
Thank you as always for your constant updates, the car is looking fantastic, definitely a fresh look on custom body work. It's the first article I...
That's a nice car, if you like the car, keep it, if the seat is the main problem, get the auto trimmer to modify the springing to lower the base,...
This is a fantastic design and build as you go, it's obvious you have looked and studied many of the old designs of this era of cars and the...
What a magnificent work of art and engineering, I wish you the best of luck with your racing, looks lots of fun indeed. Sent from my VFD 710...
Love it, that screen frame and roof will make the car, great work Sent from my VFD 710 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
My guess is the brake hoses, it's been sitting a long time, with fluid in can make the hoses spongy inside, you can force fluid through with...
I would be very cautious about dropping an engine block in citric acid, try something cast iron first as a check. I derusted some old horse drawn...
I just wipe phosphoric acid on and can stay clean for several years, it you get a little surface rust, just wipe a bit more on. When ready to...
I like the way this is going, late model or not, the roof works, why would it be a problem I don't understand, I think the curved lower edge of...
I always thought that hump looked a bit awkward, the rear window doesn't flow with the side angle of the rear quarter window, if you took a...
I doubt I would cut the axle and plate it, there is plenty width outside the springs to drop the axle a couple inches bringing the width narrower...
Very cool car, put it together and have some fun, leave it as a standard, they have their place in coolness. But loose those centre caps on the...
Did you give the tension bolt a hit on the head try and shock it, nip it tighter, hit it repeat. Sent from my VFD 710 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I would like to see a drawing of the cross section of the top and bottom frames if you will, this is very interesting, thanks Sent from my VFD...
Very chilled, it looks like it shrunk in the cold sitting beside the later truck Sent from my VFD 710 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I did a truck recently, flipped the axle, used the original standard spring but did reverse the the rear brackets, swapped side to side upside...
These cars that had the treadle vac power brake option had the booster offset to the left which may be enough, for the clutch you could convert to...
You want something really different, cut the roof off, turn it front to back, reassemble, job done, Sent from my VFD 710 using The H.A.M.B....
Guys like you are such an inspiration to me, what can go wrong with a flexible vision, I will have to stop procrastinating, get the chop saw out...
Looking good, some fresh thinking for a proper custom, maybe some afterburners in the original taillights and you've got a Rocket-Bird, so much...
How about looking at other year rear fenders, a 59 impala is similar to the 56 but sleeker, that would make a few scratch their heads, what did...
