Also, not sure how "custom" you are going, but I've always wanted to see single headlights in a '59...
The only car that previous paint job ever should have been on would be an air-cooled VW bus! (probably alot of the interior stuff also, and like,...
Hey, if wiring wasn't scary enough, now we get graded on it. Yikes! (Probably just me, but, it sounded funnier in my mind,).
I own an Edsel but I sure don't love 'em. Got no help from the Edsel club, instead of fanning the fire they killed it. I loved my '57 Ford. The...
I joined while in high school (used to spend my lunch break browsing the HAMB, 'cause we didn't have any "auto-shop" classes or ANY shop classes,...
I didn't read all this post, but does ANYONE "shave" radials in Japan? Or are you just going to deal with the crapiness of "out-of-round" tires?...
"Jaspers giant hamburgers" used to host this event. I miss that place. About the only car I recognize is that sweet '57 Wagon. And I assume that's...
Green lights are for... Sheriffs? Forest service? I've seen 'em but don't remember... And anyone who wants to give me a ride in their time...
Okay, yea man, thanks, that is the light- It's (supposed to be) green while on, (hot,) Yellow when off the gas, (maybe the "chopper" switch?) and...
If anyone wants to actually HELP and not just tell me how WRONG I am, that'd be a really nice SURPRISE.
So, a few posts have been made about these things already, seems like incomplete sets are everywhere on eBay but the complete sets are SUPER...
Pretty sure the only thing "different" about the '58 front drums is the bolt pattern... (I'm running '59 wheels/running gear on my '58,)
Hahahahahah... Oh goodness. I'm sad now, but proud of all of you that have shared our passion!
(I haven't read the whole thread, not sure if this has been covered,) on the heater... Much of the time on these Fords, the cowl drain-vent (which...
'58/'59 Edsels; from the front fenderwells back are great looking cars (1960's look great but they are just Fords with custom taillights...
I'd really like to see single headlights and a '57 front bumper on a '59....
I'm working on putting a 300 6 in a '58 Ford. Totally under-rated engine. The biggest issue I am having is getting it mounted low enough in the...
Are these too new to talk about? I suspect I need a new motor. [MEDIA] It was Grandpa's and I only saw it work for a hot second when I was a...
So, it's a closed cab 2-door, not an open cab.
Hmmm, well, I moved it all again, turns out my mind was playing tricks- I don't have 3 doors, because it's a tudor!! And I have both doors in...
BULLSHIT. This pic is completely digitally edited which makes me doubt the validity of any of this. [IMG] Washington, D.C., 1922. "Capt. Kopper...
Well, this has gone off the rails. So I will tell you, IF I had a time machine, the last thing I'd be worried about would be old cars. I'd spend...
I'm in northern California, right by Chico. I checked with a guy from the Edsel owners club and it's not a VIN that is in their database of...
Hey guys- I "recently" purchased a '58 Edsel from a wrecking yard. I have found the VIN # stamped on the frame, but the VIN tag on the door...
It's supply and demand... Everyone wants an old car, but since "auto-shop" has been disappearing since before the '90's, nobody knows how to...
I'd do like "shoptruck" did... Just pull the bullets & front tag... You could flip the front bumper and drop it down an inch or two... I...
Am I imagining things...? Didn't the HAMB used to have a "tech" section? I feel like there was "making a '30's grill shell from a '50's GMC...
Well, the HAMB is the only "hot rod" website I know. But the chassis isn't HAMB friendly, per-se. Dick Dean's Dot Rod from the 70's | The H.A.M.B....
Hey guys, So, just this past week I met a cool guy (into muscle-cars, not hot-rods) who gave me: -a "1923" model T frame & suspension/running...
These are all just modifications of firewalls, recessions and whatnot. I'd like to see some scratch built firewalls on hot rods (or scratch-built...
