I will be the heretic here. While Bad Bob's photos clearly demonstrate the advantages of bench seats when parked, I actually prefer bucket seats...
Many thanks. Was thinking Walker but it was on the pricey side of the possibilities. I will bite the bullet and just write the check.
I am looking to purchase a new aftermarket radiator for my 1950 Mercury with 8BA flathead. The motor has been bored and I am running a 3-71 blower...
Updates?
Nice rides.
I like it...
Jack Innes - That metal work is awesome. I look forward to seeing it once shot with paint. BF
Soon...very soon.
Estimates that have been provided seem in the ball park provided the "looks good" body work isn't just cosmetic and it is done properly. As you...
Those folks at WILCAP were great to work with. They supplied me an adapter for my 8BA to a T5 that used the stock clutch pedal on my '50 Merc....
I know it may seem like the car has been in the shop for a while, but it is looking amazing.
Enjoy it and drive the hell out of it. That is why we have them.
Someone should build it. Let your time and pocketbook decide whether it should be you.
Up to a couple of hundred bucks is a pretty fair price. If you want a mechanical speedo, it may cost you a bit more simply based supply and demand.
Make that Capitan Insano. Sorry.
Call Mike Herman at H&H (I believe he goes by Captain Insano her on the Hamb). I bet he can steer you in the right direction.
Looks awesome...can't to see it when completed...
It depends what your time is worth to you, if indeed you need to assemble a repop. I am always a fan of trying to make the old metal work...
Yikes...
Flathead power...what does it take? The real answer: A lot of money!
Love the work and project, Rob.
Looks like a real nice casting...would love to see one all polished up.
Nice car. Drive the hell out of it!
Drive and enjoy! If you like it...is all the matters. Screw everyone else!
Love the color you chose. The work on your car is just beautiful.
Nice job. I just shake my head when folks criticize the vision of others. I put a blown flathead in my Merc. Did they come that way from the...
Sincerest sympathy. You are in our familys thoughts.
Very eye opening and makes me say "Wow"...if one can legitimately compare the HAMB and traditional builds to civil war websites, re-enactments and...
I for one find the discussion with regard to the definition of "traditional" extremely interesting. I am currently in the process of a '50 Merc...
You may to call the folks at Walker Radiator. They have done some nice work for me in the past. Not cheap, but quality seldom is.
