I used this stuff from Mac's: https://www.macsautoparts.com/glass-bedding-cork-rubber-compound-1-16-thick-10-roll-32-23244-1.html
When I did mine I laid the door glass flat on a towel and a piece of foam with the channel hanging off the edge of the table. Then I took a long...
Hell, the hood hinges alone are worth nearly half that selling price. Not bad.
There should be a tab at the hinge that pushes the door outwards. Mine was a pain to open too so I bent that tab outwards and cleaned and lubed...
One note of caution on Larry's T-Bird parts... I ordered a Vent Window Bracket on 12/31/20 and waited and waited for a ship notice. I figured it...
I had to do all my driver's side glass and the rear quarter was a lot easier to access once I pulled the rear seat out. Other than that, it's...
The same thing happened with my 52 when I was leaving a parking lot a couple of months ago, drive shaft spinning away but no go. I got a tow home...
I had to drop and re-install the rear end 6 or 7 times when I was doing the axle replacement recently and I got pretty quick at dealing with this....
Correct. I just went back and added the Mustang self adjusters in the rear today while I was replacing an axle. Drums are a pain in the ass...
Welcome. Love that hood, been thinking about doing the same to my Mainline.
Thanks, Jeff! This group is a goldmine of great information.
Seconded. That would be a steal around here but I don't know the market there.
Not too much, really. Since I was scrapping the drums and the lugs, I cut the swages off with a carbide tip on a dremel and cut a little deeper...
Huge thanks! I pulled the front drums on my '52 around the time this thread went up and they were completely shot. I nearly had a heart attack...
I got my driver's side door, rear, and vent windows from Mac's and they were a perfect fit. Seem pretty comparable in thickness.

My guess is the latter. It looks like the wrap didn't stick well to the rust and that's where it started to bubble and peel first. Sent from my...
When I bought my Mainline, one of the POs had done the dip all over it. The problem was that by the time I got it, it was over 4 years old and...
I had the same problem and loosening that nut at the top of the pin and threading that pin down lower was enough to make it catch. It grabs and...
I have the same setup on my 52 Ford Mainline. I've been running closer to 50psi. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Short term I'm going to be doing a lot of basic stuff (replacing broken windows, replacing wiper arms, etc). A previous owner thought it would...
Howdy. I picked up the '52 Ford Mainline in my avatar a few weeks ago. This is my first old car and I'm in way over my head but I'm loving it....
