New , old guy

I've been reading and referencing though these pages for well over 6 years.. So I thought it was about time to start giving back what I can , when I can ...
Current and almost complete project is a 1931 ford roadster ( brockville body) on 32 ( repop) rails ... ( when I figure out pictures, I'll post )

In the last 6 years I have had
1964 f100
1964 ford galaxie 500
1964 oldsmobile jetstar ( sedan)
1964 oldsmobile dynamic 88 (hardtop)
1929 ford roadster pickup
1931 ford coupe ( henry)
1956 International S110 , that I just traded for a harley ...

All were non runners and all needed lots of love ...
Been searching for that one that just makes you stop .... this roadster may be it ..

Welcome. Great looking Roadster. Keep us in the loop as progress continues. Enjoy your HAMBtime.........Don.

 

Made your picture bigger. Hope you don't mind.

 

No thats great !!! Thanks ....

 

Well , I'm out here in the middle of of California

 

Well I picked up this little guy last week . Pretty close already .... chassis and related parts are great , although the sheet metal work could been better ..... but vary happy with it

 

Bigger.

 

Click on "Full Image" before you post and your pictures will be BIGGER........Don.

 

Welcome to the HAMB. I checked, and your no old guy! But that's some cool Hot Rods your working on. I have a couple model A hot rods too. There's nothing more FUN than a Model A! Keep us posted on your progess. Thanks Ron.......

 

Thanks man .... I'll figure that out eventually

 

Will do ....hard to stop and click pictures, but I'll try

 

Got the rear end parts layed out for assembly tomarrow... somehow I misplaced the inner seals and carrier to housing nuts.....

 

Nice bigger picture.

 

Why yes it is !!!!

 

And for the record... this appears to be an abandoned street rod project of some kind .. so the rear disc brakes came with it .. hopefully I can turn this thing around ... I'll need to find some different wheels for sure .

 

Got the rear end all assembled and put back in .
Believe it or not , even all new parts required a few trips to ACE...

 

I've figured that one out myself. Keep up the good work!

Well , locked up in the house for a few weeks .. so I thought I'd start working on the rod .. I got new tank of gas , a full spool , and a shelf full of new parts ....

First order of business.... door latches ... I'll post pictures as I go ....

 

And I did get better wheels by the way

 

And best of all , I ordered my 4x2 intake set up.
It's being built by Ken , outta Canada!! Best money I ever spent , well , the divorce lawyer was pretty good too.....lmao..

 

Please post some photos of the 56 IHC S 110, I used to own one and am looking for another one!

 

I have some , but that truck is gone now ...

 

Thanks Wesley.
That is a very cool red corn binder. The particular 1956 S-110's are very over looked, but if they are not rusted out, they are very worthy to be invested into. Built very strong. This one just sold on Mecum for 39 K, but it was a rare one that had a full frame off restoration and was put back to all stock, it was an automatic as well from the factory. I am sure there was a lot more than 39 K invested in the build, somebody got a very nice ride indeed!

This was the one I owned back in the mid 70s, it was a retired bell telephone line service truck, it was a lot of fun to drive and easy to work on, I should have never sold it, and these trucks now are very hard to find with that service box on them. ( The box is made by Hi-way MFG ). To me, the 56 IHC S-110's had the right proportions and and the right stance and look, nice flat floor boards, tons of room under the hood to work on the engine. Wished I would have known about the red International you traded for the Harley. Just curious if you have other 56 IHC S-110's that you can post pictures of.

Just a tip for you, the older ( 1956 ) S-110 IHC line service phone trucks are hard to find, if you run across one like this, even with the hokey ladder racks, either snag it for yourself, if its not a rust bucket, or get a picture of it and post it here if possible.

Thanks for posting the red corn binder.
Dennis.

 

That 57 international was my first one , and I completely agree that they are over looked and under rated . Which is great for guys like us ... it was a fantastic truck with 3 on the tree ... I'll be getting another

 

I'm not sure how I flared brake lines for so long without having this tool !!!! It actually makes flaring fun ... lol
