I'm coming down for the day on Friday. Yall have a good time.
I havent welded it yet, but the chrome was flaking off and there was rusted metal underneath. The rings came with the car, so i don't know...
Thanks. It's been a while, but I think there's a spot in front of the upper control arms that is flat enough to fit a small level. Hell, I may...
chevy front rotors and ford maverick rearend. I'm running dual lug pattern wheels.
I did not Z the clip. Looking back, I wish I had gone with a 1-2" Z to help get the front end lower while maintaining good suspension angles....
Thanks. You're not the only one that wants to see it painted. lol I haven't done much the past few months. I did some rust repairs on the hood...
To add to the questions.....What 12v motor are you using for the heater? I like how you did the turn indicator switch. I ended up using one of...
I hated to miss it. The little one was acting fussy so we stayed at the hotel so she could nap.
I'll be there
What did you end up using? It looks much cleaner than the teeth.
That looks killer!
I plan to paint the whole car maroon and use red microflake on the roof. That's still a long ways out though lol. You're right, luckily I have...
Not much of an update, but I just got one of the major missing pieces to the puzzle. I bought a '51 hood from UnionVilleHaunt. Major thanks to...
The copper lines look good. I'm diggin them
The latch is an Autoloc unit. I've got an extra if you want it for $25 shipped. The cable came from a suburban that I cut it down to fit. The...
I doubt I will run a 49-51 radiator. I've seen some people say it fits, but it's very close. I'll more than likely run a wider radiator than the...
Progress has been slow. I've been doing some research on shifters. There aren't many options for the FMX trans. The Lokar required a new...
Good job on the gear indicator. The little details like that seem to take the longest lol
I stayed at Extended Stay America last year and just booked it again this year. Decent room, but great location
I know the feeling. Most of mine have been the same way. No room for them on a bagged/bodied vehicle
Do you have any pictures of your front inner fender setup? I was looking at mine the other day and there's no way I can run the factory ones with...
Thanks for bumping this. Finally got one!
Looks great! I can't believe how fast you're making progress. You'll be driving it in no time.
The window in the street rodder article is stationary. I'd like to see how motorcitymuscle modified his so it can roll down.
The 1 piece conversion is on my to do list. What did you have to do to the window track Motorcitymuscle?
Check out this link. It worked great for me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=570601&highlight=shoebox+door+hinge+rebuild
I bolted on some of the front sheetmetal earlier. I'm going to end up welding the splash pan to the fenders and building a grill surround out of...
Great work Ryno!
Thanks guys. For motor mounts, I used the 49-51 ford to SBF conversion brackets. They were already on the car, and half way lined up on the S10...
