- SOLD - '55 Ford steering wheel. I believe it came off of a Fairlane. Overall good condition with some repairable cracks. Horn ring is in good...
Older photo of my Effie in front of the old Frank's Welding shop in Escondido, CA... [ATTACH]
@REBEL43 Thanks for all the info and taking the time to post on here. Because of this and all the good reviews on your harness kits, I've decided...
@michaelvz51 amazing work! This is gonna be one beautiful Merc. I'm always blown away by how much work and detail go into these custom builds....
Hot damn, that thing is badass!
My '53. Not necessarily a shop truck, but I use her like a truck when necessary. [ATTACH]
That thing is kool. Nice work! Thanks for the info on the color.
Great photos, thanks for posting. Some really amazing cars there. I dig the color on that F100.
I think about it every now and then, but when I'm on the road it doesn't cross my mind too much. I put a lap belt in for my kids, but have yet to...
Man, I'd love to go to that show. The cars and backdrop look amazing. Great photos, just what I needed for some Monday morning motivation!
Damn, didn't think it could get any better but it just did. Looks killer!
Thanks Coupe. Good to know. I've seen them on a few of these trucks. I really like the look, but I'm also wanting to do something a little...
Thanks for all the advice and compliments fellas. I appreciate the feedback! I'll try and keep this thread updated as much as possible as I work...
Thanks Nick! It's getting there. Just need time and money!
Thanks Bill!
Thanks Chris. I agree! When I had the front end apart I went ahead and installed some '56 air deflectors so I have the option of putting a chrome...
Thank you Jalopy. That's a good point about the rubber vacuum lines. They are all new, but it's worth looking into. I appreciate the advice.
Drove it to work today. Also went back to the baby moons and trim rings. I'm running 7.00x15's in the back and 6.70 x 15's in the...
Thanks Budget36. I'm thinking of going a little lower with it eventually, but I can live with how it sits right now. I'd also like to move the...
Thank you Arkie. Appreciate the compliments! Still a work in progress so I'll keep this thread up to date as I can.
Thanks man!
Thanks Eddie! Yeah, I think a 50 wheel will look right. Your Shoebox looks killer!
Initially, it started right up. I timed and tuned it a bit and was stoked to get it on the road. Then it sat for a few days. I went to start it up...
Next, turned my attention to the engine bay. What a mess... I cut out the old crossmember, flap disc'ed the frame to smooth out the welded areas,...
Once the engine was clean and assembled I sprayed it with some Duplicolor Gold engine emamel. Really happy with how it turned out and is holding...
Thanks Carp. Appreciate it!
Thanks man. Appreciate it!
Once I got it apart, I soon found out it had been rebuilt. Not sure when, but I took photos of the tag and have yet to decipher it. But I'm...
Last September I blew a freeze plug and decided it was time to do what I had been putting off- rebuild the old tired 302. The freeze plug that...
