No title. Pretty sure it would have to go to CHP but not sure what paperwork is required or whether it has to be in drivable condition.
Thanks, don't have many pictures because I didn’t have it very long. Here's how the current owner finished it off.[ATTACH] Here’s another '48 I...
Looking at a Willys Jeepster that is missing the serial number plate. From what I've read there's no other VIN/serial number on the body or frame...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] My old '48 Plymouth with a 440.
Thanks Jim, I'll have a look for the date code when I get chance.
I'm trying to ID the engine that was in my '60 El Camino, the block casting number is 3789935 which is a '61-64 283 so I know it's not the...
Nice, 6s on the front?
Cool
Please post pics of the steering when you get done with it - I want to improve the steering on my '60
Looks cool! What size and backspace are the wheels?
Look forward to the new pics!
Thanks! I want to do something similar to my '60 one day so I'm following this thread with interest
Thanks - a friend of mine has just picked up a 27 tub and I was thinking it needed about 9" out of the wheelbase - it's about 118" at the moment....
Love the Big Tub! Any idea what the wheelbase scales out to? The Paul May tub is bitchin' too!
What did you have to modify to fit the hardtop vent windows to the El Camino doors? Love the project btw
Sounds good, thanks.
I've seen reference to people painting their engines with hammertone paint. I like the idea of this but was wondering how well it stands up to the...
Thanks, that's a great looking interior! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I need to reupholster the seat in my '60 El Camino and wondering what other years have the same seat. I assume '59 & '60 are the same but what...
Anyone?
Looking for a machine shop to drill out some Chevy front hubs so I can run 1/2" studs instead of the stock 7/16" Any suggestions for a good shop...
Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for - thanks.
Yeah, that's probably what I'll end up doing, I was just wondering if anyone had already done it.
I have a '60 El Camino and want to put a decent size (about 1") front sway bar on it. I know there are aftermarket parts available but I was...
I like the idea of a one piece shaft but not so keen on cutting the frame. If you had the rear suspension low enough would it be possible to avoid...
Well it's back together and working fine. One thing I noticed when I put it together this time is that the holes in the frame didn't line up with...
Great, thanks vtw! I pulled the driveshaft out yesterday to find the metal ring had ripped off the base so I decided to just get a heavy duty...
Thanks, any info on the u joints you used would be useful too - were they conversion u joints or just ones from another application that worked out?
Great, stopped off at Home Depot at lunch and got a couple of tubes. Probably won't get chance to pull the driveshaft until tomorrow then back on...
That sounds interesting - any pics? Is the Explorer shaft a 2 pc as well with compatible U-joint size so that if fits right onto the Chevy front...
