Hot Rods 34 ford 3w made entirely from junk!

I would prefer the slotted ones, 6 to 6.5 width would be fine. I just want unique and I would rather they were affordable.

 

Looks like it should be easy enough bolt a rotor or brake drum to those bolts. My concern would be how heavy a plane did they come off of. You also need to remember planes do not usually turn on their wheels at 60 mph.

 

They are 15x6
I think The Lincoln Versailles is a 14” wheel small pattern and no holes -

 

Well, tomorrow I’m headed down to San Diego, for the big 3 swap meet, hope to find some cheap parts for the car.

 

Wow, one minute your on the operating table the next your a social butterfly, happy hunting and hope you find what your looking for!

 

I hear that Americans cannot do things like they used to. This proves that some of us still have it awesome tom

 

You heard that partially correct and partially incorrect. Used to be that most could because they had to. Some couldn’t.

now it’s that most don’t want to, for some it’s easier to say it’s to hard, it’s too far, it’s too heavy, I can’t do it. Some can and just get it done.

 

Was it Henry Ford who said, "Whether you say you can or say you can't you're right".

 

I believe it was Henry Ford....or at least he is credited with it....HENRY FORD and of course Jim Sibly are my heros!!

 

Well, I found a pair of halibrand 15x10 wheels for the rear at the swap meet. Not sure if these need to go on the 34 or my 32 and leave the slots on the 34.

 

Jim, another wheel venue might be Bogart "Steely Dan's" wheels. Not cheap, but 2 piece forged aluminum made to look like a stock factory steel wheel. Sizes run from 15" and up and any width.

Here’s a somewhat local listing for the Lincoln/Ford mag wheels mentioned a few posts back- I think you’ve moved on but just in case:

That’s a sweet deal if you were looking for one

 

I found a set of Lincoln mags. Might use them.

 

How's things going ,Jim ?

 

Yeah Jim , whats going on ?

 

Hope you are ok Jim.

 

Paging Mr. Sib!

 

I have been doing a lot of side work to fund the build. Should be back on it real soon.

 

Looking forward to updates when you do.

 

Hi Jim...hope all is well as can be your way and I have to ask how is the entirely from junk Hotrod coming along....

 

I got side tracked, been building a 54 Austin healey with a v8. I stopped on the 34 because I needed to buy some specialized sheet metal tools. I now have them but I am almost at a point that the healey will drive. I should be back on the 34 very soon.

 

The Healey is cool! That could use a build thread of it's own. I had a '60 3000 for a very short while but I sold it years ago and kind of regretted it. Last summer I bought a really truly fucked up Jag XKE that I'd like to do something similar to your Healey with.

 

That Healey is bitchin’! I had a 64 3000. Sure regret selling it!
Please post some more pics.

 

Wow! Who would’ve thunk that Kelsey Hayes type Wheels would look good on sports car!!!

That Healey is bad-ass!

My Dad's buddy Steve Harwood in Denver has a V-8 powered Healey he has had forever. He loves bringing it to the British car shows.

 

^^^^^^^^^ there you go, the boss likes it. Time for a thread on it!

 

I also am in love with it. It looks so aggressive just sitting there... like it's ready to pounce on something.

X3 on a build thread.

 

I had a Chevy-Healey a long time ago, but it was a 100-6, not a 100-4. Since the 4-cylinder cars are pretty rare, curious if you found just the body as a project?

And yes, please start a thread, that chassis looks AWESOME! We miss your posts...
