Hot Rods 57 FORD Build #2... Glutton for Punishment.

@Jeff Norwell i saw you said something about a 1961 ford wiper motor, and i managed to score one for 10 bucks, switch included. how did you set up your reversing linkage? as this wiper motor only turns one direction. or i can make a switch that reverses the polarity every turn... maybe.

 

The 60 wiper motor that will work in a 57 is from the full sized p***enger car. It is mounted under the dash. Be aware, many 60 Ford p***enger cars had vacuum motors, also under the dash.

It mounts to the stock 57 plate, uses the stock wiper control, just need to run 12V to it. The holes in the wiper mount need to be bushed down to allow proper alignment (keep it from shifting) or the mounting holes drilled and tapped to fit the larges screw.

 

oh, i grabbed a truck wiper motor... oops.

 

Like Christmas Jeff!!

 

Love the Meteor horn ****on! Nice job!

 

Both are *****in but I'm diggin #2

 

Can’t wait to see them in person.

 

darn, gotta sell what i have and buy a '57 chev motor then. even if its just a single speed i'll be happy with wipers no matter what.

 

wow, i feel like its close enough to the road you could drive it as is, granted you had a bucket on the floor .

im amazed at how you work so quickly. you got your car after i did and im still far from the standpoint you are.

granted, you have years of skill that i dont. i hope to fix a car as fast as you can someday; maybe even actually doing it the right way without rust holes in it.

 

I'm diggin the SCTA emblem on the dash. Very nice work.

 

Damn it Man , stop wasting so much energy on it ! Call me to come take it off your hands !


Beautiful work ! I couldn’t of done better if I did it myself !

 

Jeff.....that pile of windshield trim corner pieces...........pick the best two that still have the two tabs on the back and get those tabs por-15'd to keep them from rusting away as most of them already have. Nice progress, Jeff.... I think you're gonna end up favoring that painted shiney one.

 

Super cool projects!

The '59 has about 1/10th of the pile of stainless on your '57. It will look minty when all is said and done.

 

wait mine has tabs still, neat, too bad part of the barn it was in before it was hauled up north landed on it and bent it...

 

1 out of 18! wow...I guess I lucked out more than I knew. Both mine are good.

 

I'm sure it will look stunning all black, but really got all in with the weathered & worn look.

 

Not bad stuff... for a Ford! ha ha just kidding, all you Ford boys don't pull out the shot guns! Nice to see you trucking along Jeff.

 

Better pony up for the McCulloch Supercharger badge in the cl***ifieds

 

Looking good Jeff!

 

I am giddy.

 

Very cool Jeff. Will be looking forward to seeing both cars in person.

 

Wow.
Exciting.
I luuuuv a black 1957 Ford.

Wow.
