Looking good, bud. It does remind me of an airframe. Menards has hinges like that, of several lengths. AH
Remind me again where TROG takes place. Is it always at the same area?
Do you have sufficient room to slant your radiator, like the mid 30's Fords were? That would allow you to lower your hood and improve the...
Hey 41 GMC,Ryan, I agree. Thanks for posting and providing all the history of the photos. The history is awesome. I was at Bonneville once,...
My dad also had a '54 Ford Customline with the 239 engine. I also found at a young age how easy that crossover was to remove. The ole Y-block...
I built one in the '60's to tow my Suzuki trail bike behind my Ford Fairlane. I built a clamp-on bracket with an arrangement to accept the front...
By the way, the car is looking great! Get to work and make it the same color and rock on. Al Hook
I haven't driven an overdrive 3 speed in about 50 years, but if I remember correctly, low gear being un-synchronized is not a problem. If I...
Loving your build and your ingenuity! Are you near Valdosta? My brother lived near Tallahassee for over 30 yrs. Charles taught sculpture at FSU....
It's great to hear of your exploits, as well as viewing your excellent and impressive skills as an auto craftsman. Awesome work on the 5 window...
Sorry to hear that! Best wishes for your son's recovery.
You need to watch the video posted on the Friday Art Thread, about an old Indy Style roadster with a flathead V8! Al Hook
I remember those Rat Fink models from the '60's. My brother built a few of them. I found one of the Rat Finks in mom's attic a couple of years...
Looks like low gear is engaged! Is that the Mercury? Al H
If you have enough travel with the TO bearing to disengage the clutch, I would suggest changing the length of the push/pull rod on the lever arm,...
So, Mex T, when is the race, or has it already taken place?
You need to make friends with Mart, who recently installed a Volvo overdrive in his 32, keeping the torquetube. Look for him on Fordbarn. He...
Very Nice! Remind us again of your departure date. Al Hook
There were English Ford Zephyrs, as well as the US Lincoln Zephyr.
I don't know anything about them, but didn't GM use water/alcohol injection on their turbocharged 215 engines in the Olds F85 in the early '60's...
Nice Car, Vic I remember a couple of uncles from back in the '50's, who drove Nashes, but no Lafayettes. One was a country doctor who had at...
It is a great place, I've been there a couple of times!
I really enjoy your posts and pictures, Aulis. Surely someone with a 5 window can give you some fender dimensions. Al Hook
I ordered an aluminum radiator for my '48 with Olds engine from an Ebay vendor. I was able to specify the size. Measured accurately and they...
The timing is probably fine, but if you need to check it, loosen that little teardrop-shaped piece of sheet metal which is just behind the exhaust...
I didn't see any evidence of a radiator either.
I was there in '72 and I don't remember needing one. I didn't pay to get in, tho so I may have missed the booth. Al Hook
I was having interference problems when installing my Muncie M20 onto my Olds engine/Pontiac bell housing. The S10 five-speed I took out was...
Lets keep this one going. Any more restorations out there? Al Hook
