WOW! What a show---thanks for sharing
I agree with Jeff--the vacuum canister would be your next approached---having said that, I will tell you that I always convert my points ignitions...
I don't remember specifics, but when I took the drivers window out of my 52 Victoria I had to remove everything from the door. Most importantly,...
You mentioned your working on an Econline---I know the space is tight in the doghouse, but I've been told that you can use a Dura Spark with a...
Great write up---great build. I'm re-building a E-pup just like yours and really in interested in that tail gate. Most of these things have the...
That engine most likely came with a metal head gasket. If you replaced it with a modern composite head gasket, then I can assure you that your...
I'm also preparing to move one state over this year. Looks like I'll be selling some cars and car parts this summer. I can't justify paying to...
I just did the headliner in my 52 Victoria. The car had vinyl in it when I got it and decided to replace with vinyl. I custom ordered what I...
Thumbs up to Jeffb----I agree. Your hard work and dedication make this Social Group the best . I sometimes find it unbelievable the effort you...
That is a steal----won't last long
Hey Will---most Maverick's have 8" rear ends in them regardless of whether they're 6 or 8 cyl. But like Jeff said a Ranger rear may be a better...
The Crown Vic thing looks interesting to me. I think a decent donor car could be had very reasonably. You could get the whole...
This is who I model my life after
I really like finding common solutions like this. I agree with the carb cleaner in the can with the basket. I recently bought one of them and...
Someone on here is building reproduction hinges--maybe someone can chime in with their name. I can't remember off the top of my head. Good Luck Mike
Anybody know if this adapter would fit a 52 flathead car bellhousing. Are the v8 flatheads and I6 bolt patterns the same. From the picture it...
Jeff---that's a great deal. It cost me $120 to get my original patched up. That's even a 3 core.
Nice find---I too have a 52 Victoria--one of my favorite old Ford body styles. That one seems to be in excellent condition. If the flatty's stuck,...
You know, I don't want to say that $350/set is too high because in reference to supply and demand,that's really a good price. I'm just finishing...
What are these things?
Might try these guys---they had everything for my 52 Victoria--reasonably priced. Good Luck http://www.classicautoparts.com/
I'm very interested in where you go with this. I also have a 52 Victoria and would like to find a smooth bumper alternative. If you find a...
Might try spring n things--I've had good luck with them. Not sure about your application. http://www.springsnthings.com/ Mike
I agree with JeffB. I've ran Petronix in vehicles with good results. I've also ran Mallory Unilite. But in my opinion, the cost of those Ford...
Ok---If your running an auto flexplate, then you should have the long snout starter. Did you actually see the starter engage at the parts store or...
Another issue here pertains to short snout/long snout starter. You didn't say whether your running manual or auto flywheel/flexplate. It is...
You should consider doing it yourself. Most nice wiring kits are labeled pretty nicely. These older cars are extremely easy to wire because they...
A starter solenoid will not change your conditions. When directly touching the hot starter wire directly to the battery, it will throw off sparks,...
Agreed---I'm an active member on a half dozen sites and a member on another half dozen sites. Everyone here seems friendly and mature. Two thumbs...
Thanks guys. I know it's an inside trim piece and probably goes around either the front or rear glass. As you know, the 52 Victoria is somewhat...
