Kinda been gone from the HAMB for a bit. Alot going on working on the 36 Ford Coupe (door popper issue) and work/life balance. During that...
Yep, saw that. I was hoping to find a metal one (reasonable price) since all of the others are metal
Agree with you all. I'm making myself happy, it's getting chopped. The end result? Who knows? Now more importantly, does anyone have a lead...
Same. Lean the window, chop the back. We all got opinions, but until you help chop or foot a bill.....you don't get a say. Though I don't want...
Today I made a simple body cart and used a Northern Tool Gantry to remove the body so I can do some frame stuff. This setup made moving the body...
I was never doing dual leaf ..yuck the springs need some help or I'll get new ones. They will work for mockup for now I'm most likely...
Update on my motor from HotHeads CE565076 is a 354 out of a 56 Chrysler Imperial. So now I can search for a crank with confidence
Well I ended up going in direction number 3 for the front end. A deal came up I couldn't pass on. Ended up mostly chrome....at less than the raw...
I figured out the 331 radiator question by talking with HotHead Mopar. I'm going to run the Chevy water pump for ease of replacement which means...
Next question....for the 331. Do I want Driver or passenger ports on the radiator My motor is really just a block with heads. I tried to do a...
Yes, I see the GT one fits my dimensions. Probably have to mode brackets is all. Should easily cool a 331 as well
Do you have a part number for that radiator or at least the height. Maybe my measurement was slightly off of 21.5. I think I took that from...
Front end is on jack stands with no suspension/axle. Rear is leaf springs and YES, it sits toooo high for me. I did this mainly to position the...
Lights from 50 won't work without mods, but I think I have everything now....if lenses I ordered are right. I moved the body forward to get the...
Thanks guys. I now understand how the original worked(one left in pic) and how an aftermarket change was done (one on right). I have some...
First....thanks for the PE rod measurements of 35. I'm going to remove my sides of the hood and brace the radiator better to allow me to test...
I agree with your measurements of the wheelbase and the positioning of the front crossbrace along the axle. This is why I adjusted mine from the...
I feel like I'm missing something here. When putting the hood on I used the one radiator support rod I had. It was 35in. It was too short....
Got the front end off. Was trying to mock up up the radiator and hood but a tree fell and I had to chainsaw that up and stuff. You can see the...
Also this picture shows the rear end might not be far enough back either. Could be the angle I took the pic[ATTACH]
Looking online looks like Chevy was 107in wheelbase in 33-34. So that makes sense as my measurements may have been off a touch. In my defense, I...
Hadn't thought the frame to be Chevy. Guess it could be, but the fr rr axles are Chevy for sure
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I can say, most of mine is in better shape than that! I got that going for me. I ran out to the storage...
I can say, most of mine is in better shape than that! I got that going for me. I ran out to the storage area for mine and took some pictures...
Thanks guys. Currently there is a Chevy front end of some type bolted on. This weekend I'm removing it. It has dual leaf right now. That is...
I'm still looking and I have a wanted ad on here. Lotta potentials far away. Nothing close yet
Updates are slow right now. I'm focused on getting my 50 Chrysler back home. It's currently having the engine wired for it's first start up. I...
So far I've only done a bunch of research for parts I need. Found a few more parts in the boxes that came with the car. I went to FB and...
perfect write up and that's how I did my 50 Chrysler (I just didn't do enough of the work myself). On that build I caught a few areas that I...
Thanks!
