I have the Wilwood 1" dual master cylinder, with the proportioning valve and valve for the drum brakes in the rear. Highly recommend.
Yeah I totally agree. I think $7 for each is way over priced. I havent done much research on values, but it seemed way too high.
I spotted a pair of Skyliners on FB marketplace.. asking 14k, seems a bit high. Havent received a response from the seller yet. What do you guys...
Gosh darn it, I was just in Reno for Hot August Nights.. I should have gone and looked at it.
Hey everyone, So I just installed a new radiator in my '53, and would like to put a shroud on it. On my previous radiator, I used one of the...
Also, how many core rows does your radiator have?
Thank you! Glad to hear it. I'm not worried about looking original. My car has a ton of non-original stuff on it, so I'm not too concerned about...
Welp, sure enough right in time for summer, my '53's radiator sprung a few leaks. I can't decide if I should have it repaired/rebuilt or if I...
I second what Jimmy Six says. The adjustable "mustang" push rod from Wilwood fits perfectly.
I'm assuming your looking for kits for the '56 in your picture? I would go with the dynalite kit by Wilwood for the disks....
I have a this exact set up. 1" Master bore, and I have no problems with it. I really like it. I hear a lot of guys like a 7/8th bore. I went with...
I have a 1" Wilwood master cylinder, no booster, and it looks great and works great. I think if I were doing it again, I'd get the 7/8, but it...
Very good info. I appreciate it! I used to have 15x7 wheels on my 53, with a 215/75r15 tires and they rubbed all the time at stock height.. Right...
I'm in the market for some tires for my '53 Ford Victoria. I had 215/75r15's on it at one point in time, but they looked way too big. Im...
Very nice. I did the same set up. Absolutely worth it.
Thanks!
How high is your frame off the ground? Do you have any problems scaping?
Yeah it goes on the lid itself. I pulled the old one off and put the new on one..
Hello all: I recently purchased a new trunk lid seal for my '53 from one of these restoration sites what will remain nameless, but after putting...
Haven't posted in here for awhile.. but here's my '53 from a cruise through Placerville, CA yesterday. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hi all: Just like most people, I've installed aerostar coils on my 53, but I'd still like to get the front another couple inches lower. Has...
Are you lowering your '54 at all? I had 215/75r15s on a 7 inch wide wheel and had a rub on the driver's rear with 2" blocks.
Try to find someone with a tire lathe. I had the same issue with some tires I got from Coker. I put them on a lathe, had them perfectly rounded,...
It may be easier to upload them to a photo site, or something like a google drive or dropbox and share the link.
Oh that is very cool! I was considering the blue tooth only amps. Hope it sounds good! Very cool set up.
Would love to see more photos of your stereo work. I just had a custom stereo put in my '53 that is not at all Hamb friendly, but the way you...
Ahh I think the bumper is the issue. I believe this is it....
Hi everyone: As long as I've had my '53, the driver's side of the front bench seat is too far reclined. Hasn't gotten worse, but now by back is...
If you're going to do all the work, treat yourself to some nice brakes. We just had this discussion in another tread, but I am a HUGE proponent...
I have a 1" and no booster. I went with 1" simply because I found it on sale.. but I have no problems with it being too tough at all.
