Featured Projects Bought a 51 Ford on Purpose

And, right after that pic…it didn’t want to start. Thankfully, Sid’s worker just pulled up in the 54 210 he just bought and had jumper cables. So, we were on our way again. Decided to skip the car wash until I figure out some more things.

Does appear that all the gauges work, so bonus there. No turn signals though.

 

You know why I pulled you ova….you in a heep o trouble boy.

 

That’s why I keep an antique tag that I pulled off of a car I sold years ago. All I do is pop it on and good to go, it’s registered to me and is still good but if you’re just testing something out, getting fuel, or whatever it works if you’re pulled over. Nine times out of ten they will not mess with you unless you’re doing a hole shot or something stupid

 

Yea, I almost pulled the tag off the 56 and threw it on there right up until I remembered I didn’t renew it yet this year…. Living in the same small town for more than 30 years helps me stay out of trouble too.

 

Hmm...a friend and fellow HAMBer just tripped across these on Marketplace. Seems they could solve my problem. They are listed as 5 on 5.5 but pretty sure that is incorrect. Trying to get a phone number.

Update: Just talked to him on the phone and hoping he has them tomorrow when I could go see them.

Also, don't they appear to be 5 on 4.5" to you guys? Just appear to be a real small pattern and same as the original style wheels for this car.

 

I mean, my eye-cromiter is not calibrated for pics, but there’s an F1 cab sitting behind the wheels indicating the higher likelihood of them being 5.5 early Ford and F100 pattern

have the guy measure and send a pic of the tape
