We try not to miss Des Moines GG on July 4th every year
I mean, my eye-cromiter is not calibrated for pics, but there’s an F1 cab sitting behind the wheels indicating the higher likelihood of them being...
I might be in the minority, but I like a 51 back glass laid forward even when they’re chopped. From the looks of things it might still be lurking...
that’s so the spring stays the same width for the spring clamps to do their clamping. You can make a spacer after removing leaves from the pack,...
I may not understand fully your setup, but you shouldn’t need to move the mounts, just get a shorter shock. Because now you have a shock that is...
Is it an edelbrock carb? Try a phenolic spacer between intake and carb
What did it sell for unrestored? Something like $400k? I can’t remember.
I don’t know how or why that is relevant but I won’t be roped into a pointless argument by you, as you have already done in this thread with others .
I’ve had my eyes peeled for a cheap Lil Coffin kit to build for a while…. They are pricey!
And let me dump a can of gas on this thread, I like a nicely built Deuce roadster but they’re all very similar. [ATTACH]
This was the best version of the lil coffin [ATTACH]
The history and all the pictures really makes it special!
I’m building a model of this one, well, inspired by not exact. [ATTACH]

I’d be looking for a convertible body.

Love that car. I’ve thought about using Ford or Merc style wheels and caps on a Chevy for years… I was right, looks killer!
Opened up the new Goodguys Gazette this evening. Looks like “The Fonze” Merc is still kicking! Taken a the Nashville show[ATTACH]
Lay under it while someone jumps up and down on the bumper to confirm bottoming. Might also be hitting the bump stops on the frame? Then...
Like moriarty said, likely the shocks are too long if no down travel but you can lift it up. I’m surprised those upper shock mounts haven’t...
Lookin good. Just glad to see Frank’s name in a new thread, can’t wait to see it done. also, so awesome about the house!
The Fonz! Joe C
I like it when the 51 rear window is retained in the chop.
[ATTACH] Amateurs! This is the exact application that rollers were made for…
You work fast!
That thing is clean! Nice score Jeff.
I’ve had my eyes peeled for one of those for years. Must be kinda rare.
I’ve got a TH400 in my coupe and it’s a great transmission that outlive us all, but… it’s not a good combo with the other driveline components....
Found this[ATTACH]
First of all, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dad. It never gets any easier but we just learn to be better at coping. My dad died in 2006 and I...
