Recently I had yet another thread deleted - no idea and of course its a state secret as there is never a reason given. I'm to the point that...
I typically POR-15'd the seams then used those tall cans of 3M undercoating - love that stuff. Its messy when first applied but after about a week...
I was told by a buddy of mine (who was a Ford freak years ago) that the carbs and intakes were worth a good amount to a Ford guy. I'm in a toss...
Thanks fellas. I couldn't agree more with all of you. Don't think I could part with a classic my grandpa bought new almost 60 yrs ago. Was kind...
I have no ideas if this is in the right forum, so if there's an answer to this, hopefully it will get posted/read before someone chaffs and has it...
[IMG] Is the house next door to him for sale? I need neighbors like this.
Was never into Plymouths for the most part (some), but that car is just killer.
I knew a young kid (amazing fabricator) who made an extended cab late 60's Dodge truck using a mid 90's extended cab section - looked factory. I...
What photo? That Rigidized Metal's place has about 3 I'm going to try to get samples of. :)
The ultimate setup IMO. My project car will have 5-7" round fogs that mount on the top of the bumper, so I'll need to find a set of those as...
Amen brother. :cool: You can get them here. They're made by NeoLite and less than $18/ea. If you set one of them side by side to a Cibie, you...
Good idea and great link. I'll check that out. Lots of great suggestions - I'm pursuing them all. I'm making a semi-custom dash with a center...
No. Sounds interesting though. I did find this: http://www.astonservicedorset.com/db4_chasis.html Apparently Aston Martin sells "sheets" of...
I've seen a few postings for this over the last few years but either the OP never got a good answer or the links were no good. Has anyone redone...
Thanks for the links and responses fellas. I have seen the India lookalikes and for the most part guys I knew of liked them ok. They're 'close' to...
Anyone here replaced their 7" round sealed beams with the e-code cut glass lamps that take an H4 bulb? Some are flat and don't look right -...
You sir are a phenomenal fabricator! Is the house next door to yours for sale? I need a neighbor like you for a change. Incredible work. :cool:
Since I'm still not sure what the question is, I'll state my answer as "four". OP...where did you get it and was it a custom width? I'd love a...
I buy all my batteries at WalMart - IIRC Exide makes them. But I get them there for the main reason that no matter where I'm at in the country, if...
Thats an awesome story. It would have gone the opposite way for me. I would have started out with a 51 Chevy and wound up with a Tonka. [IMG]
I figured on moving things out a bit. There's plenty of room and the car is currently a shell so easy-er to do at the moment. This is why I think...
So how do you get them to park? Just shut them off when they're flat? Funny that all the mid 50's Bel Aire's had these wiper setups yet I cant...
I just reassembled the OE transmission and think it'd be tough to do. They aren't cheap either, so destroying one to prove/disprove a theory...
Yessir. I have a feeling I'll either have to forgo the idea or find one that is situated like I want and adapt it to the car.
Nope - no Caddy....far out of my pay scale. I just love them is all. When my own car is done, I'll change it. This is how the gearbox is...
I don't know....can I? Not being a smartass...is that what would make the right one reverse? The entire transmission is stamped steel parts -...
Has anyone here ever made or installed a non-original-to-your-car wiper transmission? My current project has the traditional rest position of...
80% of the time it was within 12-18 months. About 8-10 yrs ago, I would get 3yrs + out of them. After about 2007-08, the failure rate was so bad I...
I have a good friend who sold AC components for years - the fellas he sold out to are great and very reasonable. I've been using Seltec and...
Hi fellas - been reading here a looooong time. This place seems to be a plethora of knowledge and ingenuity. What some of you have done, or as...
