Glad to hear you are OK. Will look forward to a resumption of the build.
Following this thread closely. Been over three years since any updates. Antti, are you OK.
Back to the top. Still looking for measurements.
There are many things to be thankful for on this day, among them being the friendships developed in the years of hot rodding. But, hopefully we...
Mopar wheels will also fit and many have the size you are looking for.
I replaced the stock closed drive shaft rear on my 49 Buick years ago and replaced it with an 89 Caprice rear. Wanted an open drive shaft. The...
You don't have to open the rear end housing to calculate the gear ratio. Put axle housing up on blocks and rotate the brake drum one revolution...
I think from your other posts on your 50 that you have the original steering box. That would be the only potential probem. Clearance. But, if...
Or, there is usually a vendor at swap meets selling six foot strips of various sizes.
I went to a local furniture store and the manager gave me the plastic sheets that mattress' come in. It was thicker and worked great. And, it...
I understand your delima. Over the past 30 years I drove my various rods all over the U.S. I'm approaching 84 and noticabily slowing down. I...
Great find BJR. When I was in High School in 59 a guy that ran with us had 50 olds coupe. It was the envy of all of us and was the fastest car...
Years ago I had a 47 Chevy with a 350 and when I would cruise the shows it would immediately start to heat---180 to 230 so I put an electric...
When I was in high school, I bought a set of seat covers for my 48 Ford coupe and had them installed. $15 for the front and back. 1958 in Tacoma WA.
Pist-n-Broke: Here are a couple of pictures of the clearance problem between the steering box and the exhaust manifold. While it doesn't look it,...
Pist-n-Broke: I've read some posts on that here on HAMB but finding one has been very difficult.
I am building a 50 wilth a rebuilt 1986 351W and have run into the same problem. Clearance between the stock exhaust manlifold and the original...
Any others?
Updates? Still interested in how you used the limeworks column shifter but, you may have switched the colum out since you installed the new...
loldtimer may be correct. The guage design looks the same as the one in my 49 Sedanette with the exception of the all black back ground. The 49...
Here we go again. Another thread turns into a pissing match.
I have to be out of town that weekend but, for those who have never been, put this on your calendar. Great swap meet. I will set up again in the...
Back in 1978 I towed my Dad's 59 T-Bird from Tacoma Wa to Springfield IL with a borrowed home made bar. He had died in 1976 and my mom wanted me...
Buy a house with enough land to build a garage and in an area without a HOA so you can build what you want.
We were in the front of the building. Only five of us showed up but, we had a good talk. harley-sorry you missed us.
I'll be interested in whether the Old's caps stay on when you drive it. I have a set I would like to use on my 50 but have read a number of...
I am also interested in what responses to this thread might shed light on this issue. I have a 50 Ford and have installed an AOD and want to use...
Back up for the weekend. I'll be there with MoJunk in my 33 Dodge coupe.
I can't remember what I was going to say. I'll post later when I think of it.
Started driving in 1958. No peep mirrors. Built quite a few rods over the years. Never used peep mirrors. A few years ago I built a 33 Dodge...
