ive got a '64 pontiac parisienne sedan, with a smashed rear screen. its gunna cost me £500 to get one over here, so im thinking i might take this...
the brakes themselves are pretty good for a hydraulic conversion on a model A axle. if you get really lucky (like i did), its a bolt on fit. f100...

to add the lower section of the front taper, i cut a 17-5/8" section of tubing ( which was the distance from the end of the firewall step to where...
so, i see a lot of people asking loads of questions about building a frame on here. hopefully this thread showing you how i'm building mine will...

i do. well, ive just paid a deposit on one. [IMG] [IMG] will be going on a '59 390ci. tbh i didnt even know all these manifolds existed! i like...
most things can be done, but with steering, always make sure you over engineer everything. i like the 'belt and braces' approach- have something...
