I spoke with Larry right after the auction. He seems pretty excited about the GS. If anyone has the resources to properly preserve or restore the...
Those look like Edmunds to me. Today has been such a mind-blowing day. So happy to see this car.
Mooneyes used to sell frenching buckets for '52-4 Fords, but I can't confirm that they fit olds lenses.
I don't know about aftermarket borg and beck pressure plates, but you should be able to chase down a used OE Ford one and have it rebuilt. You...
I'm a big fan of using the later valley pan and converting that to PCV. I'm not a super big fan of the side mounted road draft tube. Primarily...
I'm running f78-14s and I'm not that into them. I stumbled into these vintage chrome 14 inch wheels, so I was kind of stuck. I should throw down...
I've got 4 inch blocks and naturally dearched springs and can attest that fixing a flat on the side of the road is a PITA. Changing a rear tire...
You can drop the front with springs and A-arm spacers, and the rear with blocks or de-arched springs. Dropped spindles are cool, and probably the...
I've been in your shoes, and it's a fun place to be. The downside, you don't need to go for broke immediately. I'd buy the nicest car you can, and...
Man, I dig the new paint! What shade of white is that? Is that pearlescent, or is it just the camera and lighting?
The front fenders, inner fenders, hood and splash apron.
Hey! Love your build. Judging by the air deflectors, I'm pretty sure that's a '54 ford doghouse. I think '52-3 are the same, and '54 are different...
You scored on those doors. The vent wings alone (those appear to be the early stainless ones) go for stupid money. Good luck with your build!
Yo! Love '52-4 Fords. I like how your build is taking shape, and I hope to see you around this summer!
I mean technically Ardun heads are hemi heads (arguably (and probably really) the first appearance of hemispherical combustion chambers in an...
My dad is running a pair on his coupe and we have no complaints. They drive really well, and they look good. The rubber is WAY softer than the...
@voodookustoms, you can also knock the spring pocket out of the control arm, and space it out. Thats a pretty common trick with '54-6 ford front...
The Ala Kart IS for a fact the only car that had a snowballs chance at winning 3 AMBRs. It is also the only car in the history of AMBR to win two...
Oh no for sure I agree. The paint looks great. I just have a bias for '54 fords in white primer ahah
I was kinda hoping you were gonna leave it in white primer! Looking good man
Stock carb is gonna be an ebu Holley "94." Love 54 fords! I would say you bought it right. 239s aren't the best engines though, and if it's been...
My instagrammy handly is ReverbSplash. Choppy pixxx, car show pictures, shout outs to friends and desert shots are my specialty.
Clydelicious, that car is amazing! The color combination and the finishing details just kill me.
[IMG] My mild custom in progress. One day I'll get a chance to really finish it out.
The toilet? What IOS are you running? Is your phone getting hot, or is just force closing immediately? I've got a 4s and running ios 7 has been a...
^truth. That is the problem with history, it is to be interpreted and recited. Some people will try to push their own agenda through either their...
If you're looking for history, I think you may be the mistaken one. You might pick up a book and read. This is a forum. This is a source of...
The best hearders that I am aware of are red's headers. There are a few things such as clutch linkage or transmission cooling ducts in the way....
If your car is a hardtop gary, the hardest part is wiring the interior lights and the turn signal. Otherwise, its simple, straightforward and gets...
Just got this email today, and as far as I'm concerned it is good news!
