Now it is time to turn attention to the body to get that mounted to the frame. With the help of some friends I was able to tip the body up and...
So I have been continuing to work on the car. The progress can sometimes feel glacial. I decided the next plan was to get the brake lines plumbed...
Last night I had some buddies over for a garage night and we decided to get some work done. We were able to get the brakes all out together,...
Next was the front brakes. This car is getting 40 Ford drums up front. When I bought the front end a long time ago it came with what looked like...
A few weeks ago I went out to the garage to tinker a bit and maybe straighten up a little. While cleaning I looked at the frame and ladder bars...
With winter in full swing in MN it is time to get back on the car. February will mark my 10 year anniversary with the body and I am sick of seeing...
I went with a T rear spring on mine. It seems to fit well and got the rear where I wanted it without reversing the eyes on the main leaf. For...
Not much to report but I have been picking away at some projects. I was able to finish weld the brackets on the rear end. I ran out of welding gas...
This thread is not dead. Just in a bit of hibernation. :-) Over the last year or so I have slowly plugged away at the project. I got my personal...
Bump.
Bump. [ATTACH]
Sold! Thanks HAMB!!
I have for sale a pair of Guide 903-J headlights. They are in decent shape with some dents. They have been painted a few times before. Tags are...
Incredible work. Congratulations on getting it on the road and best wishes on your holiday.
Not much to report on the Roadster. I ended up getting laid off earlier this year and just recently found employment again. Needless to say...
I had just seen a car for sale in CL and reached out to him to see how he approached it. From the sounds of it a glass guy installed it. If I can...
I talked to a guy a few months ago that put a new rear window seal in his 60 Ford wagon he said he used a windshield seal that was modified at the...
I can always count on the community to keep me going. :-) I have had some time to work on the car, but I recently picked up a 1960 Ford 9...
I brought it to a machine shop where there was a press. Once the studs were pressed out the hub separated from the drum with one tap of the mini...
352 2 barrel. :-)
[ATTACH] I made it home. We were able to get the hub swapped from one drum to the other. Got it back together. Drove the 700 miles home. It feels...
They look to be married pretty well. I am guessing the studs may have to come out and some heat will need to be applied and some force.
[ATTACH] New hub secured. Trying to find someone to remove the drum from the hub. My guess is that we will be able to find someone tomorrow....
The update is that we were able to source a hub but we might have to move the existing drum to the new to me hub (wagons have wider brakes). I...
I would not feel comfortable putting it on a dolly secured by a wheel that is pretty sketchy for 750 miles home.
It looks like U Haul is not an option. It looks like a 1960 Ford is too wide for their car trailers. Does anyone know of a good shipper that could...
The car is now in Ogallala NE. At least they had an auto parts store that was open. I have the bearings and seals but the hub is pretty much...
We got the outer race off the spindle. The hub is way too far gone on the outside. I probably have 1/4” of play on the race to hub on the outside....
[ATTACH] Hi everyone, I know it is a long shot , but I just picked up a 1960 Ford Country Sedan in CA and am on my way home to MN. IN Sidney...
