Complete front drum brake assemblies off a ‘62/63 Meteor V8 car (5-lug). Same as Fairlane and probably fit other fords. This is the intermediate...
Seats came out of my ‘62 Meteor (Fairlane twin) 2 dr HT. Front bench with split folding seat back for 2 door car. These are the frames ONLY....
s55 - interesting! Yes a lot of the old shots seem to have these unibody cars laid over a traditional frame. Man, that’s a ton of work.
Yes this car is definitely a tribute by some rod shop and the fake patina is over the top. I’d be doing something a lot more subtle. I guess I...
Has anyone seen this car in person? I’m looking to do something similar with a ‘62. needing the wheel/tire combo information.
I have used these guys 3 times and it has come out great always. They have patterns for almost any car made. Get the permanent hog-ring secured...
$700
bump $800
Bare rusty chassis not good for much but does come with a clear blue TX title for a 1929 Ford Coupe. Signed & ready for transfer, also have TX...
In my experience swapping seats around using those latch systems is more of a PIA than the seatbelt. On our modern cars the lower latch rings are...
Here's one I built on an A chassis a few years ago
I'm in Houston too, and one of the best pieces of advice I got from a long-time H-town hot rodder is to forget going down to there yourself if you...
Not sure why, but my '30 Tudor is always a Model T or a '32 or a "roadster". Normally dont care but this one a-hole really burned me up at a...
I used to be alot more die-hard Ford than I am now. The more I've learned about different motors, the more you realize there are alot of good...
I went through this a few years ago - at that time no one was making them. I had to make my own patch panels.
I recently replaced the head gasket on my 200 six (same basic engine). It's a breeze. There is no valve adjustment on these engines, if you have...
I looked into this idea recently but talked myself out of it for several reasons: 1. CNG tanks are filled to about 2,000 psi :eek: 2. The...
I've lived in both FL and TX, but I'd definitely say TX. The climate is hot and humid in both places, but TX is it's own culture entirely....
I recently considered this but just went with the flattener that goes with the paint and it came out great. Single stage Shopline (cheap PPG)....
I read elsewhere about an unofficial study recently that determined a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF will break rusted/stuck parts better than...
I ordered a U-weld zoomie kit from him a month or so ago. The first shipment never arrived and he could not find the tracking number for it. I...
We get all manner of Spanglish gibberish down here, quite entertaining "V4 ingin and new breaks" My fav actual ad: "195x Plymunt Bevder....
My understanding is nowadays not to even accept a cashier's check...period. If you deposit a fake cashier's check, you are the one in hot water...
If you are looking to do an engine swap, fitting a V-8 is difficult due to the placement of the steering column & box. Need to offset the engine...
I was driving my '62 Fairlane to Home Depot the other night. At a stoplight, there's a haggard older guy holding a sign begging for money. He...
This one is a little different b/c it's not limited to mini-bikes. As such, I get to post a pic of mine! Kind of a board-track replica... Used...
I don't think a 351 or a 250 will fit under the hood with out some modifications. Both are a little too tall. The '60 originally came with a...
My stepdad is a general idiot and is very good at regurgitating nonesense advice from other idiots without thinking about if it makes any sense....
Not trying to hijack this thread, but I would love to see pics of a flattened copper or bronze. I like the blue as well, esp the light metallics.
Speedster I built from scratch around a 200 Ford & 3 spd. Craiglist find for $300. Love this little engine. Bone stock right now but would like to...
