Sorry patsurf! I presume you already suggested this? I have been following along, but full disclosure, a number of times I have stopped getting...
This thread is legendary and part of the HAMB's history and lore, and part of our collective consciousness!
If there was enough meat around the bore of the pulley, you could counterbore it to get enough thread for the nut. Just a thought. Steve
Man!, what a gut punch! It seems like I just saw posts from him. My deepest condolences to his wife, family, and friends. Godspeed Bobby!
Jeff said here what I have felt for a long time - I am drawn by cars that are "attainable and that have soul". If I am at a car show this...
There we go! Sitting proper once again, with the big ones on the back, and little(er) ones on the front. What an awesome score! Jealous up here...
Kelly, Not sure if this helps, but this is what my coupe looked like with Torq Thrusts on the front... [ATTACH]
Mike, I get it, and totally agree. However, I didn't realize they were 17" wheels. They look like standard 16" Ford truck wheels to me, so...
I don't get it...why would painted steel wheels be considered off-topic?
When I heard Groucho had passed it was like getting punched in the gut...that has been happening way to often. The old guard of the HAMB is...
Wow! I hope this was saved! It looks like a really well-executed idea of what a '56 Ranchero might look like. Although, that God-awful front...
Wow, it's like getting punched in the gut... Mike was a great guy. My prayers are with all of his family and friends that are grieving his...
That's a good call about the keys hanging in front of the gauges. #4 is similar, and the key issue gets taken care of - that's the one that I...
#5. If it were mine, I would forego the vacuum gauge and have the remaining three gauges placed between the speedometer and the tach.
Thank you for all the responses. Much appreciated. The HAMB comes through once again!
Hey Guys, I was over helping my son at his father-in-law's shop and I saw this bumper sitting up on a shelf. I asked but the the father-in-law...
Andy, No, I can tell you from personal experience that midlife crises do not always involve a corvette. The list of cars involved in midlife...
Lookin' good Mitch!
@57 Fargo, I just saw this thread and spent the last half hour going through all the posts. I appreciate your post and want to thank you for...
Tim asked about this here the other day... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/site-links-affiliated-with-sovrn.1296389/
Brian, The color looks great. I can't wait to see the car put back together! Well done. Steve
I turned 60 years old in March. Like Petejoe, I have lusted after Willys coupes for over 50 years - 52 years to be exact. When I was 8 years old...
[ATTACH] Mine are on an 8" wide wheel.
Glen, No, I never heard anything on it. It's funny, I was just looking at that piece the other day and then your post came up... Steve
Chuck, This photo choked me up...it is so cool your mom and dad were able to be reunited with their old hot rod! [IMG]
Another great photo Spooky. Thank you for sharing.
Spooky, that is an awesome picture.
Looks like it was a '55 Chevy to me. The turn signal bezel looks right, as does what's left of the egg crate grille...
Happy Birthday, Jeff.
Wow, everything is looking fantastic! I love the grille, it looks so good in chrome!
