been so long since I've been able to go... Which night is most packed on S Congress St?
yes indeed, your pictures helped me understand what is going on in there for sure! Truly appreciated.
Yes, I think if they had just welded all the metal it would be fine. thx
GOOD EYE! I just did this as a stop gap until I figured out what/how to do to fix it right. I didn’t have a picture of it before I cut it fit...
so, welding IS done without catching the wood on fire? I’ll likely replace if I can but still interested to know if I “can” weld it with the...
I appreciate it, and would love to see more pix if readily available. FTR I’m not opposed to replacing wood… I just didn’t think it was possible...
Thank you. I was apparently confused by what I found while doing research. I now have hope! Lol
Thanks. I cannot figure out why they didn’t remove the wood when chopping tbh. I’d prefer to replace with new. can I get top piece of wood...
Grind the wood out? I’ve honestly never seen the inside of that area with the wood removed so I’m not sure what I’d need to avoid.
Definitely needs wood but from what I’ve read I’d have to remove the outer skin which is painted to get to some screws to release the wood… I may...
The outside is painted so I’d like to not redo that part. I wanted to take the wood out but I read that you cannot once the outside skim is in...
Acquired a previously chopped 30 coupe. Top got chopped with wood still in the car and only welded on the outside sheetmetal (not in door jamb)....
My coupe lacks the latch cover piece that joins the upper/lower door post wood. the uppers could use replacements too. I haven’t found...
You all rock! Thx so much!
I was thinking etching might do the trick! Thx!
100% need a test to see if paint will even begin to stick. I’m just hoping I get someone that says they’ve done it on 57 cars over 10 years and it...
Another option would be cover it with black sound material if I can find some sturdy stuff.
Previous owner did a ton of sound/heat deadening with unknown product. I’m not about to rip it all out but I’m also not planning on adding...
I’ve searched an read that some degreasers (including oven cleaners) have various affects on aluminum… I’m wondering who here has vast knowledge...
Thx. What are your favorite wires for this, and what do you tell the guys behind the desk you are buying them for? 63 impala maybe?
Surely one of you folks either built or owned this Texas coupe… I’d like to pick your brain!
At least the PO gave up... (or at least I hope it never made it to the road)
unless you are the kind of guy that can do this stuff (especially bodywork) in your SLEEP and think doing it is better than SEX, do yourself (and...
Buy a manual for your car. Any repair manual should detail the brake bleeding process. I greatly concur with adding a Dual pot master cyl. Oh, I...
I wanted the DROP and DISKS... it works, but i wouldnt use them again. it stops great now but the turning IS affected. good luck!
cool! I need to do some wheels... this gives me hope!
sorry i cant help ya as i used McGaughy's drop spindles on my '63 AND i run 15" but i would like to know what you find out 'cause i just might use...
They "can" suck air past the bleed screw and make you think you are pulling air out of the line when you really aren't. Keeping that in mind, I...
So the obvious question is... How fast was it in the 1/4 mile anyway? ;-). Just Kiddin bro. I say free labor until you feel ZERO guilt. (tho I...
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
