Gave up on the flathead rebuild. Rediculously over priced!!
Awesome.
Torch is what worked for me.
How easy is it to get parts for these things. I want one!
Welcome from the Twin Cities.
Keep posting pics! Love this build thread!
These vans are addicting! I have a 64 econoline truck calling for me!
Hey guys. I stumbled across a 64 econoline truck! I kinda have to have it! Is there a group for the econolines?
Oh don't worry. I know flatties are the coolest ,most unique sounding engines out there. I just started looking into getting the parts I need,and...
I know you guys warned me but holy shit is a flatty expensive to rebuild! I could buy a car that runs and drives for what it costs to rebuild this...
Whatever floats your boat. My dad called this "cross dressing". How come you never hear of putting a ford engine in a chevy?
The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks guys. I am really excited to start putting things back together!
Pics man.
Thanks. That's kind of what I thought. I'm thinking black block with chrome heads.
"The stig". Awesome user name man! I love that show!
I got my block torn down!!!! After I get my parts back from the machinist I was wondering if I need to paint the block and other parts right away?...
I say if you have time?...build it. But I say that at 37 and just beginning my project. I will get back to you in a year or two! I say this...
One word..Cool. The wagons are awesome! Looking at your car makes me think about how far I have to go.
Holy shit Moefuzz! Freakin' museum! Awesome! Its been 80 and sunny here in Minnesota so I haven't been working in the garage! Tough to complain.
That's awesome!
Hey. Thank you for the offer. We were running around nonstop so not much down time. I was hoping for an old parts store,or a museum or something.
Right?! I've been all over the island and I haventfound anything. Oh well.
Thanks. Unfortuntely I m only here until Monday. That show sounds awesome. I'm into all cars but I'm mostly into hot rods. 50's and 60's stuff.
Hey all. I'm in New York City! What should I go see that's hot rod related?! Give me sme ideas please!!!!
No words. So sorry for your loss.
Ole Don...somehow I don't think you're that old. I gotta' say..this site has been the best thing for us "green" builders. I would probably spend...
I am doing the same thing. My little girl and I are working on a 53 flatty. Quality time at its best. Every single one of my valves are rusted to...
I'll let you know when I get my car. But she will be named. It's bad luck not too.
I am starting my first build and you are truly and inspiration. SUBSCRIBED!
