I hope to use my factory grille corner and parking light. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I didn't realise just how long it's been since I switched the headlights! It's been highway friendly mods the last couple years! But I stumbled...
It sat belly deep in the mud for 30+ years! The engine bay is still partially full of mud. The floors have just enough to keep the seats from...

The boss picked up this 1941 Cadillac that we believe is a series 61, obviously a 2 door. It's fairly complete but is plenty rusty. We're looking...
The stock rear diff is about the strongest thing you will find to put in it. Only draw back is performance parts for them don't exist. I have a...
GM stuff is pretty simple and standard across the board. I would simply try say a 70 Chevelle with front disc and no booster or something similar....
He said this was the first time it had done that and it's the first time he had driven it since the water pump. And my place is only 8 miles away...
He would like me to do head gaskets, intake gasket, thermostats and a radiator cap so he knows its all good. Also because when he brought it to me...
I have a customer with a 51 Ford and he would like me to put headgaskets in it. Is it really as easy as it looks? I found some info with touque...
Even though I already knew most of that, it was a nice easy reading refresher! I think I should be set to go with what I have! Thanks Cherokee!
I'm about to do a complete re wire on a 51 Ford, including changing it from 6 volt to 12 volt. I have done that portion many o time. This one will...
Sorry scooter, no Pontiac on this trip!
I will only be there Thursday through Sunday, thanks for the links guys! Anyone else want to add anything, feel free!
I'm taking my first trip to So-Cal this Thursday, San Diego to be exact. Is there any good cruise spots to check out Friday or Saturday nights? Or...
I also just realized how long its been since I've dealt with dual master 4 wheel drums .... WOW!
This master is supposedly for a 67 chevelle with non power 4 wheel drums. I had it mounted under the floor of my 53 poncho and now I'm moving it...
I know after all these years I should know this but sometimes a guy forgets. On a drum drum setup is the front for the front and rear for the rear...
also after some more reading, i had mine next to my friends 54 chevy and another thing i noticed is that i have one piece bumpers and my front was...
I have frenched in 50 tail lights and headlights from a 55 caddy (i think it was a 55 or 57) and a 472 Caddy in my 53 pontiac hardtop. and dont be...
ok those brands!
yes they do but not sure what brands!
I hadn't even thought of the 2 holes in the spacer! That i think is my perfect problem solver! Plus with the old springs it sat nice and low like...
I finally got around to switching the worn out leaf springs in my 53 Pontiac. I used some nice springs from a 57 Nomad. The springs are the same...
in my eyes hanging unchopped doors on it would at least get you in the ballpark for hieght!
I also say no chop and keep it low yet drivable!
I like the shot of it on the trailer with the guys and the trailer has wheels that match the front of the car!
I just had a guy come out with his portable blaster set up and blast a frame for me, 100 bucks is all it cost. He was here almost 2 hours. Had a...
The bumpers on my 53 pontiac are also one piece but still have visible bolts. When a friend and i compared them to his 54 chev they appeared the...
