Oh lord no Jack lol, I'm nowhere near above taking the BFH to an exhaust pipe i dropped the idler arm and looked at it for a few minutes before i figured out i made the downpipe wrong I'll get back under there tmrw and address the situation gotta run a line to the modulator valve, and stick the front wheels back on, and I'm taking it down the road!

 

Left turns only? Sounds like you've built yourself a roundy-rounder car. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Just tell people that you put a Nascar chassis underneath it.

 

Lloyd, a big shout out to you for offering to partner up and paint the Comet SEGA FX for southcross2631!

 

Glad to help man That's what car guys do.... no better people in the world.

 

Well i loosened the right side down pipe and pushed it over while i tightened the nut closest to the block, then snugged the other 2, worked good! So now I'm back on lol. Everything tight, greased and ready for a test drive! Soon as i push these cars out of the way lol. Why am i always painting cars that don't run?

 

I need a front left bumper end, if any of you fellas gots one i can afford mine is rusted through. And I ain't gonna put a new one on there, won't match the rest of the bumper lmao!

 

I'm liking it. Gonna be a sexy little bitch!

 

And the CAR is kinda sexy too

 

I have several of those bumper ends, will check condition and price if still in need!

 

Yeah let me know what ya got

 

Cruisin' baby

 

Great to see it on the road.

 

Thanks Steve

 

That's FRIGGIN' AWESOME Man!!!
Now that you've popped'er cherry, did she say "I Love you Lloyd!" LMAO!!!

 

She gave me a little kiss on the cheek

 

Just to keep things real, that would be a 63 year old Cherry...…………….
PM sent on the left bumper end!

 

Well ? What was your "first drive" impression ? Don't leave us hangin' !

 

'57 Heaven'...congrats on the milestone @Lloyd's paint & glass...a pretty darn HandyWagon...I know there's more but a good day...

 

Everything went great! I'd say the only downside is the rear brakes need adjusted. I only drove it about 4 miles so i didn't give it much chance to fail lol. Left muffler will need to be raised, it drags pulling out of my driveway. I'm hanging at the firehouse today, but I'll get back on it tmrw

 

I haven't commented on this thread because I have a case of jealousy & a soft spot for '57 Delivery's & 150s..………………………………….

 

Feel free to say anything you'd like

 

Tri fives drive great!

 

It was quite different than a model A Of course the steering wheel was a nice addition

 

Okay i had an issue where it wouldn't shift out of first gear, and the power that is the HAMB told me that my problem would be found in my governor. So i jacked it up, pulled the governor cover and a small clip fell out. Pulled the governor out and voila! The freaking gear is broke. no problem right? Just call the parts house, they'll have it! WRONG... So I'm gonna run to my buddies house to check a couple of cores for a good one. My assumption is that the little clip must have bound the governor causing the plastic gear to break, but where'd it come from? Looking online i can't see that clip anywhere on the governor springs? Hopefully I'll figure it out on one of his cores. Yay....

 

4 speeds don't have that problem!

 

Nope they sure don't! I wish i knew how to drive one of them, that would be cool. But seriously, didn't want a 4 speed in this car. Besides, i had the transmission already and didn't have to spend all that money but i got another governor from Tim, it's in. Sitting down for a drink and then i have to stick the left exhaust back on. Then test drive.

 

I always thought those fancy automatics had little elves inside doing the shifting.

 

Eventually you'll find out where the clip came from.
