Sam's show is great, I love the area, grew up in Texas city. The street in front of the showboat fills up quick though, I'd get their early.
If you haven't already, start the car when its cold with the radiator cap off, check for nonstop bubbles.
Do you have a reliable temp gauge? If it were mine I'd check the actual water temp with a new gauge. What psi radiator cap do you have? My first...
X2 on the 53 chevy parking lights. Grill looks like a totally custom cutdown/fabbed and rechromed something or other.

Thanks, I appreciate this kind of feed back.
I got the kit from Rare Parts you're talking about, cost me $270!!! and haven't put it in yet. I used poly bushings in the past and had good luck...
I've already checked the big name places, was hoping someone would know a smaller shop that made the oddball stuff.

I don't think he's living sub-standard, wow, way to judge a human being guys. If I had a bunch of cool cars I'd tell everyone nothing is for sale...
I saw and thought the same. Someone had some fun, but not an original conversion for sure.
It's amazing how many old parts Ford still makes or has on the shelves that aftermarket cataloges jack up the price on to make them seem rare. For...
Never heard that about Hagerty. Which I have. The key in the wording is regular use. This is a documented response to that very question, but I've...

Don't ever, ever, ever create a facebook group for your club. It seems like a good idea to keep in touch at first... but it's trouble. Keep group...
