Flathead in a 54? You Canadiens are crazy! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I thought there was a headlight frenching post in Tech O Matic, but I guess I'm wrong. Did you use the search function? If not play around with the time frame.

Also, one of the Rod and Custom magazines from the past 5 months or so had a tech article on it.

welcome!

what part of Canada are you from?

You should try PM'ing Phat Rat, I do believe he ran a '53 Tudor with a hopped up flattie in the late-fifties or early-sixties.

Always seems funny to think of a '54 without a Y-block but I guess that's Canada, eh? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome

For that frenchy thing try last months Rod and Custom. I think they had an article on frenching 50's chevy lights, but should be similar.
