I'm surprised they are not on the car yet! Enquiring minds want to know (what it will look like).
I have been collecting up a 35/36 5 window for a few years. The first thing I bought was a nice windshield frame, because it was a good price, and...
I am maybe a bit gun-shy out of the gate because years ago I had a full size bronco that the prior guy had replaced the 300 with a 390 and...
Thanks Anthony! Maybe I am making a mountain out of a molehill, at least in my mind.
I am rather capable at fabbing stuff. Was it difficult to figure out the ratio of the slave cylinder, or was the throw largely the same?
I have a 59 F100 with a 292/3 speed in it now, of unknown condition. Recently, I bought a 65 F100 with a 352/4 speed (granny low) that is rusted...
Glad it worked out for you, too! They are one of the more "correct" looking wheels for being a modern production too, so they look great on our...
I have the new production American Racing Torq Thrust Originals on my 40 with the stock rear end and it does not have any interference with the...
Looks like a ton of fun!
Additionally, I finally got started on the bodywork on my gas pump. I started on a side panel that was the worst, and one that I questioned being...
Zoning will depend on location. I could not find anything in regard to zoning on the city website where I bought, and Paul said it was not an...
The building on the left is a thrift store that is ran by volunteers from a local church. The lettering on some long-ago covered windows on the...
While I didn't have time to actually do anything with the station on this trip, we did a little cruise on Friday so Bret, Dale, and Laura could...
I am extremely excited to be headed back down there on Thursday, but not much will actually happen with the station other than getting the...
I have built a number of them when I was playing with off-road rigs. I was generally using 10 gage plate, but I would lightly sandblast or sand...
Yes, that is all in place, and just about have the paint buffed up. Plenty of previously planned things that won't be done on the 40 before we...
I do not know if the hoist operates or not. I would suspect it does, but there hasn't been compressed air in there for some time, so it has been...
For some time now, I have been dreaming about finding an old gas station somewhere further south (which in my case is about anywhere) to restore...
Lockwood, Missouri on Main Street about 1928[ATTACH]
Never run blocks on a front axle. The front axle in a 58 should have lots of drop to it, so replacing it with a straight axle should raise the...
With the chrome "Bolt" sticking out, it has the steering wheel and ignition switch unlocked currently. To attempt to remove the key, you will need...
Considering that the floor pans are the same and the doors interchange, I can't imagine it being an issue. Maybe some drilling for seat bracket...
If nothing else, get a few friends together and make a cruise to the nursing home. The staff would likely be happy to make it an event for the...
If you are buying a starter car, buy something you like, but is also somewhat popular. Offloading a 40's Mopar might be tough. Everyone likes...
I would get ahold of Dale @Weedburner 40 who owns Weedetr Street Rod. His kit mounts similar to the way later factory tube shocks did, and I am...
Dale and Vince did an amazing job putting this run together. I have been trying to get my stuff together for this for a couple of years, and now...
The guy in the stroker hat must think those ladies are stinky...
It fits your build plan, and you would be happy going that route from the sounds of it. So what would there be to be ashamed of?
Congrats!
Mr. Goodpliers on Youtube did an episode on this a couple of days ago. Being from the land of rust, it kind of hurts to see solid stuff get...
