Kind of thought that's who built it. Hadn't seen him for probably ten years until the Miller Meet last weekend and then lost track of him.
Three guys and myself attended on Friday. Great event! Yes bought one of your shirts. This has been on our bucket list for years. Took 4 years to...
Didn't like them in '58, don't like them now.
The pic attached is of a 1950 hydramatic. See additional holes at 2 and 8 o'clock. Don't have a flywheel picture and not inclined to remove the...
See the pic. Turn the mount backwards to take some of the overhang out. Hopefully that makes sense.
Going to change the FordBarn to the Hamb format to see what happens?
Hopefully you built it for you. That being said, my avatar car would have been perfect when I was in high school with the 12" Brockman Mellotones...

I, as mentioned early on, did not use the portion of the panel next to the door opening because of the difference in sharpness of the bends. Had...
Remember that the two alignment dowels differ in size. Once warped the torus cove is about useless.
And here I always thought East coast cars were channeled because the bottoms were rusted away.:rolleyes:
Running radial Diamondbacks and happy with them.
And stuff like this post this is why I no longer contribute. That and all the "never actually did it" experts turn out.
Try Car Quest for brake parts if there is one around you. Used a lot of their stuff on my Olds. Don't forget to replace the rubber lines too.
Have a fire extinguisher handy.
"50 Olds differentials were not that strong. It's the later years '57 - ? that were used in dragsters.
The "older" gentleman that rebuilt my hydramatic said Dexron III and one bottle of Lube Guard #60902 in the red bottle.
Agree on the mustang. Did you see the cover car on the Rod & Custom April 2014 issue? Shoe box with skirts doing a burnout. That should confuse...
A pity about the car in the plastic box.
Great pic Stu.. Brings back memories of the car my cousin and I built and totally destroyed in the same day in the York High School parking lot....
Welcome to the HAMB! Know the Brookfield are fairly well as my wife of 50 yrs is from South Brookfield. Yo might want to visit the SW Chicago Hamb...
Interested in how the caliper mounts work out with the Fatman dropped uprights.
Ignore the lousy ruler. Bottom tip to bottom tip = 29 3/4" At midway (14 7/8") to top 8 1/2 " As said 49-51 Olds model 76 and 88. Not 51 Super 88....
I'm using one of Tony's reduction starters with no 12v boost provision at all. Have run it through points and Pertronix with no problems starting.
I have a '50 Olds that may be the same but it had the ignition switch replaced when I got it and the one I used is of the same aftermarket...
Move almost any where but Illanoys. If I were in better health I'd be out of here, even to Indiana.
Shift Master also made floorshift conversions. I got this one some time ago off of that auction site cheap as it was listed under hydrOmatic...
Ah, ha, my first reaction was that the road racer was a topless Cheetah. It appears to have been recently used as a track car and based on the...
With Bob on the price. Count on much more rust being revealed after blasting. Just "finished" a '50 2dr. You want to take a look under the car at...
From the mid 50's Strokers around 35th and Pulaski, not a really nice area today. Dennis has the pattern and I've got permission from the designer...
