I really did not want to add vents "into" the dash so I installed these units from Vintage Air under the ash tray. [ATTACH]
*Warning* - some may cringe! This is not something I would do on a "finished" car, but I used a port-a-power between the frame and fender lip to...
Yep! As a young kid growing up in the 80's that was the inspiration for the Wife's car... His car is not necessarily HAMB appropriate but it did...
Just finished all the winter "upgrades"...still too crappy here in Ohio to get her out.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for all the feedback. BTW - the picture shown above is in the preliminary stages. I was able to complete the welds around the tube....
Possibly - I should probably rephrase. Not necessarily the solution to boxing, but an improvement over stock. There seems to be a debate whether...
Here was my solution to boxing....and I could still get to all the mounting holes. [ATTACH]
Well...to follow up on this post, here is the '40 Ford Sedan from this find as is sits today. It's not quite done, but it is saved! It's now the...
Here it is with the front sheet metal installed. Still have some work to do on the alignment, but at least it's together! [ATTACH]
Ha! Well....its the wife's car...so does it count if she paid for it???!!! Hehehe
Thanks! The color is actually called "Charcoal Grey Metallic", but I like the fact it looks black from certain angles. I did everything but the...
It runs!....Now I just need to get the rest of it put together![ATTACH]
Dec 2017 to Dec 2021. Still a good way to go but making progress... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'll be there - set up on the track...have a few '40 gems I no longer need.....:D
Thanks for the feedback! This is my first ‘40 but I’m learning!!! Thanks again!
Ok guys, but what am I doing wrong here? New tank and filler neck (Tanks Inc). Fenders are original. With the fender bolted up , the neck does not...
Hey Chris, As mentioned above, if a reputable powder coater is available, it will allow coverage in a lot of "hidden" areas. Some like it, some...
That is a ton of work but it is paying off! Looking great and quality work!
Does this count? Bubbled and scooped :) [ATTACH]
My '64 Galaxie. Bought it when I was 12, fixed it up and drove it through high school. Took it apart after graduation. I still have it...and...
True...just had ours done 2 months ago... [ATTACH]
Here is what I used to recently lift ours. I made a bracket for the front that bolted to the hood spring arms. The come-along is attached to a...
Great job Chris. Quality work! I'm sure you are ready for that next chapter, but there is a piece of mind knowing the frame is done right! Jason
I have GT-40P heads with the Summit brand shorties. They are close, but work.
I bought my first car, '64 Galaxie, when I was 12. That was a LONG time ago. Rebuilt it and drove it through high school. Tore it apart the day...
My '65 in front of the old family barn. This is the same spot where my grandfather would park his red '65 when it was new...Still have my...
I was concerned about the width as well, but they dropped right in and fit right. Covered up the hole with no issues. Again, they are not...
I am using the convertible towers. Other have mentioned the same. May not be historically correct but they seem to be ok?
Dad's '64 Ford Falcon...if he was still with us it would get him in A LOT of trouble! Small block 289, solid roller, 4 speed, 4.11 gear.. [ATTACH]
