PM me, I can hook you up with a guy that may have parts you are looking for.
It appears that by some of the responses that I may no longer be a gear head. :D Therefore, I must now just be an old guy, that at one time may...
This is a fascinating adventure, but its way over my head. I understand your concept, so I still have a few questions that may be way out of line...
The old Ford pickup should polish right up nicely!
The 53 front fenders and grille will require a lot of work to make the canted quads work, but that is why they call them customs, right? I like...
When I got married (at 19) I was already a mechanic with almost 4 years of experience. My wife was my buddy's sister, and I worked on her off...
I could be wrong, but I believe the day bed might be just the wrong width (in either direction) to correctly fit as a seat back in an old pickup...
Wasn't me, I didn't do it! :D
16 years changes a lot of stuff. Most of the old groups went away several years ago. Its going to be like starting over, without the group...
At this point, that is what I would do. It may also be worth while to run a separate wires to the gauge, keeping it separately from everything...
I've never driven a stock Model T, but these days, I think I would much rather have a bit of a warning before any of these things identify a...
When I first joined the HAMB, before the 2003 reboot, I tried signing up under 4 or 5 user names, but every one was being used. Back then it was...
I think money is getting tight for a lot of possible shoppers. When the money gets tight, the expensive stuff becomes farther out of reach and...
I was called Mean Gene for many years, that name fit me well when I was a young man, I had an attitude. I am a lot more mellow these days. Some...
There was a couple of years in my welding shop that I built a few "specialty" bicycles (built for specific purposes). I even spent some time...
It has that look of a 2 wheel drive truck (or tractor) puller at the fair. The bracket on the front to hang the weights, and the paddle tires at...
My friends call me "Gene" when ever I'm around. What ever they, or what anyone else calls me, when I'm not around, I don't know. You would have...
My address is the last house in a residential area, it is also the only house on the entire length of the street that is zoned business. The...
I'm pretty easy to identify. My daily driver is a 49 Dodge pickup. You will often find me wearing an old car show t shirt. If you drove past the...
Just the other day I was looking for something I was sure I'd put in a certain place. Now I can't even remember what it was I was looking for, or...
I have had the privilege to have visions of things I would like to have and do with my life, and have been able to achieve a huge number of those...
I had a similar thought about building an old tow truck, then I found out that in IL, if a wrecker boom actually functioned, you had to carry...
I'm betting that is the real story on 90% of the pictured cars posted on this thread. Most will look like the two piece Jag shown a few posts...
There probably wouldn't be that much left of the Duster if it tangled with a locomotive, looks more like a 50+ mph head on crash with another car...
I don't know about the 35-40 Ford big truck fenders, but the big truck Dodge fenders usually have a much larger radius and a much larger wheel...
I'll take one of each, at these prices, today. I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind... At least the pink one is an auto trans, and she would drive that...
Isn't it nice they are feeding the blue whale car an S10 off that flatbed? :D One would HAVE to drive it "With a S#/t eat'n grin" because...
Sometimes carelessness and stupidity are properly rewarded. I don't see any blood, this was a warning shot. I'm betting that after that...
If you are thinking 4x4, you may want to check the track width of a 4x4 chassis. Its probably a different width then a rear drive chassis (could...
