I was wondering what a chevy bumper would look like on an F1. Looking forward to seeing a pic when you get it on.
I'm dealing with replacing my brakes A-Z on my '48 F1. Every single thread from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders are 3/16. This truck...
Sold
Still available. Will go on eBay on April 28th

It's an old post, but I've been trying to get the charging system fired up on my 48 F1 302 redux for....well, more weeks than I'm comfortable...
The bracket assembly ultimately was not used on the project. It's machined by Hot Rod and Custom Supply. It's been sitting in a box in my shop for...
Nicely done, Andy. I was hoping to get the brakes back up with minimal effort, though. This master cylinder has me scratchin' my head. I guess...
Yoinks. Dang...I bet I could have save a few bucks getting it off of eBay, especially seeing as it's junk. I was thinking that the small cap is...
So to fill the reservoir you only open the brass fitting and not the larger black cap that it screws into? Seems like it would take 30 minutes of...
Google has failed me. Cardone's tech manuals are non-existant, so I remembered (I know...I'm slow) Somebody at the H.A.M.B knows the answer......
Thanks for the clarification on that, tedster. The deflector was what had me worried, but, as I said, I'll be good. I've got one sitting in the...
LOL. Looks like you've looked deep into my soul and determined my greatest fear :D I am worried about that. This car was a gift from me to my...
Nice one, King! Made some headway on my '49 this weekend (in between the '48 F1 and the '56 Chevy....too many projects :o )
I think it'll show just fine. Why not be a daily driver? That's what they're made for. I just picked up mine last night. Got some work to do, but...
Nice!
I take it back...After spending a morning modding Fatman's parts to fit this Saturday, I'd have to not recommend buying them. If you do, make sure...
You both are right...I shouldn't and don't blame Fatman. Your point about QC in the forties is a good one. I got the parts, so now I need to make...
daddio, our stories are pretty similar. I inherited this car from my father-in-law, who was my best pal. He passed away a few months ago. The car...
Thanks Fat47, and daddio. I happy for the guidance (lord knows I need it)
It's really just two bolts that hold the steering arm. I tried for an hour, but the bolt ID and the hole OD are pretty tight, so there's not much...
Thanks, guys. I did send Fatman an email yesterday....well to sales anyway. No other email address on the site. I'm leaning your way, Tom, it's...
I just got my set of dropped uprights and steering arms from Fatman Fab for my '49 this past week. I installed the drivers side but the steering...
Subscribed!! It's better than watching American Hot Rod re-runs (less drama)
Here's a shot of the power plant prior to getting the body back on the frame.
Very nice, dante. I do like the way she sits! I inherited this project from my father in law. I gave the car to him years back and he started to...
New poster here. Man...what a great group of cars to help inspire the direction I'm going with my shoebox project! [IMG]
