I'm pretty sure the 216 balancer pulley has wide groove, so it probably won't fit your current narrow groove pump pulley (though maybe a wide belt...
Very cool project! Nice to see it coming together. (Any chance of seeing it in the Wheels meet in Haaparanta next summer?)
Nice car! I made this kind of hood spring removal/assemling tool: https://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/miscellaneous/hoodspring.htm There's...
I'll be following this. I have a 1950 Chevy 2 door sedan. I also have a Cadillac mill I hope to swap in it some day.
Thank you all very much for your suggestions (also the frightening ones) ! This one crossed my mind also earlier, but the area didn't seem dry,...
Hi, I have a '50 Chevy with a 261. There is a squeking noise coming from the front of the engine. It sounds just like a loose belt (which I...
I like the 1st version. Six deuces, panel paint job.. For me too the canted headlights look goofy.
Has the Caddy run yet? I'm very interested in how that setup works.
Hi, I have a 1950 Chevy with straight 6 and powerglide. I also have a Caddy 390 (probably from '59) with tranny and drive shaft. I don't have...
I'll probably be going with a Cadillac 331 for my custom. I'd prefer Offenhauser 3x2bbl intake, IF it's period perfect. Does anyone know, when did...
That tow truck was very cool, too. I started to ponder something like this as R/C to rescue wrecks around a yard..
Thanks for comments! The car has a stovebolt six now, but I've been pondering the idea about mating an SBC to the stock drivetrain with front...
Cast iron powerglide ('54), stock u-joint, enclosed drive shaft and the rear axle.. How much can it take, considering daily driving, some...
I recently installed my Appletons. It's a close call, but doable. I try to find time at some point to post some pics. Just been very busy recently..
I love this car. Do you have any pics with the new hub caps?
Thanks for your reply! In the 49 - 52 Chevys (except for convertible and ht) it's a little tricky, since the face of the post is actually notably...
I've found on the internet many pictures of '49 - '52 Chevy Stylelines and Fleetlines that seem to have real spotlights installed through their...
I have a 1950 Chevy sedan, and want to mount spotlights through A-pillars. Does anyone have any details about how it has been done? I only found...
About turning the engine with a breaker bar: IIRC my engine has a crank pulley from a '53, and again IIRC, a 3/4" square head fits reasonably well...
Congrats! Also checked your another thread. I'm usually not so much in the shoeboxes, but your car is just perfect!
Awesome car, congrats!
Wow! That's just perfection. Less is definitely more.
I voted numer 4: Norman Wesp's 59 Chevy, and was actually a little surprised that so mild custom made it to fifth in 1960. In 2018 it was 8th.
Just awesome.
Looks like a great car! I agree; the stock front suspension on these cars works great, and the parts are available for them.
I bring this up again.. Didn't find any on the I & I Reproduction's listing either. Anyone know a source for this trim?
Glendale, I think those mods are perfect for the shoebox!
Wow, looks great! I love it when I occasionally find a custom car on this forum that doesn't "lay frame". :p Wish I was at that point with my...
My project is a 2-door Chevy sedan. It's a very mild very early 50's style custom. I don't have any trim pieces yet. I know I'd have to shorten...
I've been looking for used 1949 - 1950 Pontiac side spears for some time, but haven't found a set in restorable condition. Do someone make them...
