I went out to go for a cruise a few days ago and the battery was flat dead in my '41 Chevy. I pulled it and took the battery (Optima RedTop 34/78)...
What an amazing find! It looks like it was in a time capsule. You've got a great plan, it will be a fun one. Just make sure you park it where you...
That’s the one!! Thank you so much Cap!!
Can any identify this grill shell for me? I’ve spent a couple of hours online searching but I haven’t had any luck. It was supposedly for a...
Damn, hard to find anything on the above car that I don't like!
Looks good, I'll probably have to do something similar if I ever decide to put the hood on mine.
Looking at these last two pics it looks like it is waaaay lower than a 2 " drop, I did 3" blocks under my '51 and it sat higher than yours is.
I installed a set of Diamondbacks last spring on my '41 Chevy sedan- 205/70R-15 fronts and 215/70R-15 rear. They really smoothed out the ride and...
Ouch! Sorry to hear about the engine but it's just a bump in the road, we've all been there at one point or another. I can remember when I got...
Hi Jay, here is a link to one of the fenders, all the info is there- https://www.ebay.com/itm/276691540355
I don't post much but I figured this might help somebody out if they're building a '31. I've been trying to locate some decent rear fenders since...
Sorry to hear about your friend. You can't go wrong with a '41 2 door sedan, they just have great lines. Good luck with it!
Great starting point for a project, looks to be in good condition- congrats!
I need some opinions on paint, I can't make up my damn mind. My '31 coupe is currently red primer and I'm running without fenders and boards- I'm...
Fantastic! Your chassis looks great, you have put a lot of time and thought into it. I really like that orange on the Hemi too!
Is the arm on your hoist adjustable? Most store-bought hoists are. As you go up in lifted weight, you have to shorten the arm length... and a...
Thinking outside the box- nice job!
I don't think there is any such thing as "enough room in the shop", it's a myth.
I ran into the same problem with the pan gasket on my 250 recently. I just used a gasket punch and made the holes myself, worked fine and no leaks.
Fantastic build and even more so that you did it for your dad! I especially like that beautiful engine and bay- very clean!
That's going to be a whooooooooole lot of welding; what is it close to 60 ft. of bead? You're doing it the right way, it is definitely going to be...
Question for the group. My '31 has the stock steering wheel, column, and box and I'd like to change the steering wheel. I've never had it off...
RIP Tony
I just went through this dilemma on my '31 Chevy coupe. I decided to initially get the car running and on the road without the fenders and have...
I don't think the 700R4 is any larger than a TH350, the TH350 in my '50 Fleetline fits with unmodified floor/firewall
Those Mopar intakes were wild- good looking and performing (from what I've heard, no personal experience).
All bow before the awesome might of the Monstrous Hemi! Probably the ultimate open-engine hot rod powerplant, very cool @31chevymike- that will...
I've got to say, I've never measured them. I just made them look even by eye. I'm away from the car until tomorrow, I'll post when I get home and...
Thanks for the kind words, it is going thru this summer just as it is- the fenders and aprons need extensive metal repair and bodywork so I will...
