Got the car out and cruised over to the Ventura Nationals for a bit. Disappointed with the amount of small block chevys as usual but oh well. Saw...
Yup, especially with the crossover exhaust tube riding next to the line. My fueling issue has been resolved. Now I'm having problems with the...
Yup. That's how the factory ran power to the rear. There's an indented wire track specifically for it that goes from the cent front of the dash...
Ignore the battery cable ugliness. That will all be sorted out. Here's a rough install pic gallery. Kind of want to change it up a bit. We will...
Thanks man! She needs a lotta work but she's coming together. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Wiring all done for now, will post a pic soon, but for now I just want to drive this thing while I can, before I tear into the front end. Ventura...
These were originally wired to 6v with no regulator or reducer, is there a reason a 6v reducer wouldn't work? Haven't heard that yet or seen it....
I have a 12v to 6v reducer. That was actually a question I was going to ask. Do I need to use it, or can I run 12v to gauges? Sent from my...
Wiring is going good. Got about 2 hours into it. Most of the time was figuring out the best way to run the wires to the rear. With the way that...
My EZ wiring kit came in the mail this week. Hopefully this all goes smooth and gets back on the road this week Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
So the other day I got my kit in the mail to switch the 6 volt setup to 12 volt. All went pretty smooth, except once I started digging into the...
You have any pictures of that? How'd the Granada swap go? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
One more because I'm mental. [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Correct. Essentially just drops spring location lower. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Thanks man. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Wish it had factory duals. I've got some redman headers waiting to go on it.. just need to figure out the back half of it before I tear down....
Installed the Aerostar springs today. Closer to what I want but not there yet, still waiting on Butch's kit to space out the a-arms for another 2"...
Thanks! Here's my 56... big project [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I agree, it will most likely be nosed and de-trimmed. I like the mainline trim a lot better than the customline. Sent from my iPhone using The...
So I had original hubcaps on but took them off to install speed disc.. only problem is they didn't look good without the front being lowered in my...
Will do man, appreciate it. I'm curious about butchs kit too. I probably won't have time to do it until Wednesday morning but I'll definitely post...
Damn, I just saw this! You guessed it man... bad vacuum advance in the disi.. replaced it with the new disi and electronic ignition from my 56'...
Just looking at how high she sits in front bothers the hell out of me with the wide whites on. Can't wait for her to be sitting better and cover...
Keep in mind I have only had this car for about a week and a half or two weeks. This car is my daily driver/project. I've got my 86' Harley FXR as...
After starting her up to drive her off the trailer, I noticed that the stock 272 y block with a 4 barrel edelbrock, did not enjoy idling. The PO...
Here she is the first time I saw her. The driver lifted her up in the air so I could check out underneath. Found a couple small spots of rust,...
What's up everyone, figured I'd start a build thread on my 55' customline while I figure out a game plan for my 56' that I'm not sure about yet....
Here's my 55'. Has 2" drop spacers in the rear. Wish I went with the 4's but I was worried about changing tires... now I don't care and wish I did...
What'd you do to lower your 55'? Looks bitchen Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Intake gaskets done, new vacuum lines plumbed, (lol the one that there is) new carb/carb spacer gaskets, new fuel filter, different 4bbl intake,...
