Built 3 Hiboys and now underway on a full fendered 32 roadster. Enough belly buttons. Will start a build thread soon
A few updates. The stock wheel is mated to the Flaming River tilt column. And a pic after it's first drive in 5 years. Thanks to all you guys for...
Purple is neat. Maybe 50 Merc wheels and flat Merc caps with big and little black walls. If the car is between the 50's and 60's how about...
After 6 years Ol' Green finally took a drive around the block..no problems and nothing fell off!! Now it's time to start putting all the pieces...
Glad to hear he's doing well. Thanks for the update.
Tom bought my 32 coupe back in 58 when he was stationed in Tucson. We've run across each other through thr years but i haven't heard about or from...

A few from the 50's in Arizona
Solid side windows installed..Not much help from the instructions. Doesn't anyone include drawings or pics with their instructions anymore? I can...
Good shot guys..Neal's post shows the bracket (1955-1967) for 24.00
Wish I could be more specific for you but it's been a while back. as I remember it was out of a 70's bus that had a Gemmer steering box. I cut off...
Another way..I used a VW bus mount,and machined the flange off the F1 box. Let me adjust the shaft angle and kept the drag link more level. Just...
Thanks billsill45.
Bed wood is in place for trial fit before oiling and sanding. I'm not too keen on the shiney clear coatings anymore. Rather just periodically...
