Looks like a modified 1940 Ford frame. Front suspension looks about that year, with a Model A axle. Rear frame looks stock given the gas tank,...
It was a steaming hunk of crap.... and I loved it! [ATTACH]

Know all about that steering box issue. We did a slant six 3 speed into a '50 Dodge Coronet and had to offset the engine to the passenger side...
Yep, that's the place! Good people.
Those Hurst mounts originally came with spacers to move the mount out away from the front of the engine. I used one in a '48 Mercury with a 283...
Much to my chagrin I nicked the front driver's side rubber line on my '29 on '32 rails project with a cutoff wheel a day ago. I haven't even...
Amazing photos, thanks for sharing. I love these types of things, a time capsule of the way things really were.
An usual and hard to find gauge in any condition... Pictures are the best description, see them below. Last photo is of a stock 1931 Auburn...
BBQ paint if I'm feeling fancy, but usually whatever black I have in a rattle can.
I did this recently and took pictures. Bought the dash from HAMBer @John Tumolo I've done other stuff since then but haven't really taken...
You're not really alive if you don't have rust blowing into your eyes and a seat spring poking you in a testicle...
Damn man, he has been a staple here as long as I've been here. He was one of the guys, you always saw his posts. You never know the person...
thank goodness we're not trying to pick a restaurant to go to
I found that my Olds WCFB has smaller butterflies than the mid 50's Cad WCFB. The Cad carb is supposedly a 2x4 carb but don't know the difference...
I agree, everything is better in a hot rod! Especially the beach! :cool: [IMG]
One day I will drive my roadster to El Mirage and take in the sights and sounds and environment. This weekend won't be it, though...
I shaved the castings stuff off this one and used it on a 283 in a '48 Merc I had. Kept the engine when I sold the car so it's waiting for the...
I got this thread saved: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tech-save-youself-a-couple-thousand-dollars-34-ford-grille-repair.677645/ So...
Heck yeah, I'd spray bomb the hell out of it, leaving the wood all woody! Then I'd tuck a pirate flag between it and the wooden ribs! Yaaargh!!!...
I've seen the '32 firewall in a few model A's before but if it were me I'd probably go the Milner Coupe or Baskerville roadster route with the...
On my 1948 Mercury I did this to I had to lengthen the rod. I even took a picture of it! [ATTACH]
I have made purchases like that in the past and oddly enough it was also a light. Someone rigged up a big 20's or 30's headlamp with a sweet...
Me too! At 43 I've got a small stable of great cars that make me happy, now it's at the point where it's simply fixing and enjoying them.
I sell at Turlock and it seemed like foot traffic was down too on Saturday. Sunday it was pretty quiet. I don't know what the actual numbers...
[ATTACH] Tis the season!
I use stamps strictly for identification purposes only. [ATTACH]
Another 60-62 Chevy truck hydraulic bell housing user here. Used them on several builds without a problem. ***cough cough shameless plug cough...
I've camped out of a '31 roadster before, it was a blast and there's just enough room for two people traveling lightly, but it wasn't a 'period...
