Yeah , sorry, I did get yourDM. I’ll give you a call. Here is where it takes another weird turn, I know in a few of the magazines it mentions...
Thanks for the heads up I’m on IG but not very often, I found his post and Holy Shit! That’s damn near perfect for what I need I responded to his...
Nice! Are the factory ones supposed to be red? Mine is Amber
Yes, helpful, good guys, They don’t stock any but can make it. They have an $3000 tool up fee and 10 weeks out on delivery.
I’m gonna check with them, I would prefer not to use stainless , but if they can shape stainless they can shape 1018 or 4130. Their site says you...
I only need about 20 feet, but I told them I would be willing to buy 100 if it would help. Most of the places that have minimum orders are like...
Yes, they were pretty helpful. They are the only one in the US that said they can and were willing to do a small run, but they charge a 3 grand...
Yeah cool Hot Rods ain’t for everyone, after all…4 doors need love too….right?
I think it’s cool because of the elliptical shaped tubing, but it hasn’t been very cool to try to buy some….so far the only stuff I can even...
I agree, or maybe a midget? the front wheels are 6 pin midget wheels for sure
It’s been pretty discouraging to say the least, I appreciate all the help and suggestions I’ve got trying to figure this out. I’m still waiting...

Yeah, friction shocks on the ends of the frame rails. I’m trying to figure out the axle end. I think it must have short links from the shock arms...
I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that before. I can’t think of seeing any others set up like that. I assume they just wanted to locate the axle...
I’ve admired this car for 40 years or more and I can’t believe I’ve never noticed this on it before. I’m studying all the pics I can find of it...
Good to talk to you, I’ll be in touch on that tubing deal if they can work something out. I appreciate the help
Ive just started to build/re create this car.
Yeah I’m pretty sure they would have been considerably heavier walled than .049. This .049 is so far, the only similar tubing I have found that...
Waiting to hear back from them still. Potentially found some here through Aircraft Spruce, but waiting to hear back from them as well to make...
Man, I appreciate everyone’s help and suggestions. I’m still waiting to hear back from several places. And I have a big list of places I still...
Thanks! that stuff will actually work! The 92mm by 55mm x 2mm is just about right. Now, I’ve got to see about getting some shipped to the...
Well after dozens more phone calls and emails to numerous companies, still no luck. The PBY struts I thought I had found I don’t think are going...
I’m digging the hell out of it so far. Well done….
In most cases I’d still say no, a stock (non smog) 283 would still make a good bit more power than most hot flatty’s will, But the cool factor of...
John Lawson ran around with my Dad and Stan Lomilino back in the 50’s and 60’s. I think much of his Flathead knowledge was likely gained from...
Up by until 2012 I was building a car every fall/winter, then the older I got the longer it was taking until my last build took me 2 years. After...
They’re not as picky as they used to be. Don’t quote me but the entry fee car with driver I think is like 20 or 25 bucks additional passengers I...
Saltworks does phenomenal work like that. Just bit east of Sarasota
I’m going I have only missed one to try another show that was new, I learned from that mistake….
I think the best bet is just to carefully mask them off. I considered taking mine off but I thought better of it because I didn’t think I could...
