Ran into this old thread and thought I would share some pictures of an early disc brake change over for Willys that I found at a swap meet several...
I had to replace the gears in the front of my Gladiator (Dana 41). Dead of winter, 22-26 degrees, snow and ice, in my driveway. Had the gears in...
I've found that if you find it you don't want to think about it, you just pull the trigger.
Hood sections for a '33-'34 Willys. Bought the top sections (in very bad shape) and have been looking for the one top piece or the sides for...
In the early '60s I bought the tools and equipment of a garage here in Portland. With it came a '47 Cadillac that had been made into a tow truck....
Yes there are two cross overs. I did want it to hang on the wall, but I'm trying to stop. I have a limit on how much I'm willing to spend for wall...
[ATTACH] Spotted this at a swap meet this weekend. Neatest thing I've ever seen. This is how it was done in the fifties.
This is my Hay Buden. I originally thought it had the base broken off, but have since seen pictures of two others complete with holes. One was...
In the late sixties my dad towed a twenty-four foot Fleetwood with a '56 Chev 4 dr. six cyl. He added a leaf to the rear springs. an Easylift...
Spotted this radiator and shell at a swap meet today. It has two upper and two lower tubes (V8??). Very small, but thick radiator. I'm sure I've...
Bought a '29 Chev roadster from a farm in Montana. This wheel was underneath it. What you are seeing is a five bolt ford wheel welded to a Chev...
This axel post was about my avatar (Bantum). I did have a '33 willys body and frame at the same time (just a hulk) that I sold to Steve Magee. But...
The problem at that time was getting gear ratios for some of those rear ends. Knowledge and availability was centered in socal. Poor boy hotroding...
On the question of narrowed rear ends. The rear end in my avatar (built in '65) was out of a tri-five Chev. Not a real good choice, but I was...
In about 1964 I bought a '33 Willys coupe body and frame out of a field in Vancouver Wa. Didn't do anything with it and ended up selling it a...

'33 to '36 is narrower than the '37 to '41. Four lugs up into the later body. don't know the cut off year. Norm
I picked it up at a swap meet a while back and yes, only two speeds. I believe it was built by Transmission Specialties back in the fifties. I...

I think it's too narrow for a model A.
Is that an Anglia front end under that sedan?
Yours sounds better than mine.[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Thanks for the thread. Great idea for gluing solar panel brackets on the roof of my non-traditional vehicle. Great place to learn "stuff".
I'm sure it was him, but I just talked to him for a minute. After leaving the swap meet I kicked myself for not spending more time and asking more...
I was at the Monroe swap meet today and saw this motor. Norm [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I wonder how many start out to "restore" a car thinking the first thing they need to do is strip all the paint off. I'm currently storing a...
In a conversation at the Portland swap meet I was told that Steve Mcgee Had recently passed away. That was a beautiful car.
That panel at the rear (with the crossed beads): Does anyone make a repo of this part? If not, could someone sell me a paper pattern of it. And a...
Harbor Freight would be my choice. I've had their 48? inch wide bottom box for four years and paid $370 and have had no problems. HF has their 56...
Eric I'm curious about the history of the car during the time your dad had it and before if possible. He built it in '62, but what year did...
