If it is 1.5" shorter that surprises me. That'd mean the outer circumference is somehow the same between the two panes. Unless DC just expects...
I checked with them first, dude said their glass was tempered. Which is weird, usually stuff you can change the tint on is laminate, but the guy...
The wagon was a bit more than "band aid patch panels". Nobody makes jack for C-bodies. I fabbed the bottom of both quarters from scratch, the...
Yeah well even Gene had to do his first sometime. We'll get there.
Well if you want to talk hard projects, I just finished rescuing my '66 Polara wagon. And if you've ever restored a mopar, it don't get much...
Eh, I count the XJS and the XJ as the same car, because they are. Mechanically they're the same. The entire subframe assemblies/suspension are the...
Yeah that looks really good. I was afraid of tilting the front windshield as that would put the side corners outside of their pocket which would...
My original intent was to make it look almost factory, or at least close enough you'd have to properly look at it to notice the changes. Closer to...
So they weren't made in a jig and just welded together, 'close enough' style? Yeah stock spindles it is then, that's nasty.
Like the Lincoln Versailles? What year spindles drop in? I was kind of hoping the heavier v12 will just sit lower on 70 year old springs without...
Well i already have the 2 door roadster thunderbird, so probably not. I'm cannibalizing the fordomatic and Y block as spares for the bird anyhow....
I hadn't considered moving the roof forward and lengthening the sail panel. Solid idea, but I was trying to avoid any radical modifications to the...
As I said, I like 4 doors, and I think it looks pretty good in the photoshop. I agree about nixing the quarter glass, it'd be pretty busy with it...
It's out in Edmonton still, those are the only photos i have of it. I got a cousin who drives out west frequently and he was going to trailer it...
Ah, i had no idea. [ATTACH] I was toying with the idea of replicating the '60 DeSoto's fins on the car, but the competing tail lights might be...
I did consider that as well. But the door, A pillar, glass trim/bezel and vent window would then have to be radically modified, and that's a very...
I knew the sheet metal differed, but I didn't know the glass differed between the custom and Fairlane. Do you know exactly what differs? I looked...
I've got jags. I really like the v12. After you strip the bosche junk off it, of course. Yeah, nobody like that around here that I know of...
I thought about sectioning it over the frame, but hood clearance is already a concern. [ATTACH] Jaguar 12's are a 60 degree bank, with a very...
Howdy. I inhereted my great uncle's 1957 Canadian Ford/Meteor Niagra recently. Kind of a unicorn of a car, basically an american Custom with a...
