Yep, although i think i might try some of this newer thick stuff ha. Mine came in an old bag with my Ford parts and was older... probably the...
Good thought, but the hood line bead isnt lining up with the bead on the cowl and it's lower than the profile on the top of the cowl so i think i...
Thanks!
Good to know, thank you. I thought maybe I did something wrong since I saw posts complaining that the rope stuff was too thick and I seemed to be...
Me too. Oddly, it seems like mine isn't thick enough as my hood sits noticeably below the cowl's body line right now.
WHOA! That's awesome. Stoked for you that you're driving it! It looks... seriously cool. And fast
Thanks Tim! Hope your projects are coming along well!
We hauled it to DMV and got a title and plates! I've been picking away at little fit things. Steering column was almost rubbing the headers so I...
I still feel a little way off, so I haven't really been looking (and Summit red is looking likely) but this stream got me looking... I think my...
Or wind... they must not be in Oregon ha
What a beautiful car! And a great color. Looks like a great day on the beach... except the broken leg
Ooo, yeah, Oxblood is pretty awesome! Agree with you on all accounts!
True, very true. We all like the colors we like, I guess. And I do like red... I just maybe like that dark cherry a little more ha. But I love...
Well, I kind of backed myself into a corner. For my MGA, my oldest was allowed to pick the color and she chose summit Green, which was perfect...
Here's a funny thing (it is funny and amateur, I am not an artist). I encourage my kids to make things for the country fair (this year we...
Thank you Sir; kind of odd, but as I sweated in line (literally) I realized I probably think of DMV like some people think of the dentist ha....
Thanks everyone on the hood question! I've been doing lots of camping, etc with the kids so the car really slowed for the summer. Thought I'd...
Thank you! Just went over to check your project; the body is looking awesome.
Slowly plugging away; doing things with the family in the summer slows the projects down a little. Lot's of fiddling with fit and little things...
Thanks! Someone started it for me a long time ago, so it was maybe easier... I don't know, because then a tree fell on it ha. I spent a lot of...
Been fiddling around; got the front steel wheels on (just transferred the Tesla snow tires over for now) and mounted the headlights. Tried to...
Just in case anyone else is ever looking for it, the tread width on the Coker tires is listed on their website. The 7.5x16 Firestone tires have a...
Here's a better angle... I think I'm good. This is with me compressing it. [IMG]
I'm not sure it's too close, that's why I was hoping for a measurement; maybe I could just reach out to Coker. This tire is supposed to be...
So I found a cheap pair of 235/85r16 tires locally and got them on my car with the wheel lug-pattern adapter and Ford wheels I'm thinking of...
Good morning (writing this on a nice Saturday morning)! Any chance anyone in the Portland area has a pair of 7.50x16 that are cracked and...
Thanks all, I'm enjoying the process... mostly ha
Just a post to keep this kind of up-to-date in case I end up with questions. I spent more time than you’d probably believe trying to get the cowl...
