    How many more rocker covers sets do you need to have all the originals Chrysler made for the 354/392? Bob

  5. They make damn nice wall hangers, Dave! We all have wall hangers.
     
  6. You don't "need" a hotrod either. There, now you're justified. ;)

  7. Trade them for lawnmower blades or laundry soap and paper plates
     
  8. Let's see, I have a couple pairs of Firepowers, and one pair of Imperials, so I'm missing Industrials, Marine, and plain/no names – so three pairs?
     
  9. Just bought a 31 steel back Vicky Monday. Probably won't pick it up for a while, it's buried and I don't need it here tomorrow. It will be 392 Hemi powered for sure though. Edit: Got the Vicky home today. A tad bit better than what you started with... I will be using this thread a ton when I start working on it !

  16. Here's a recent video shot by my college buddy George. He's not a car guy and had never seen or ridden in Miss Vicky so he wanted to go for a ride. How could I say no?

    D-Russ, I read a few of your threads over the past few years. I have a 31 slant windshield fordoor. The previous owner in Nebraska had it on a partial "A" frame from firewall back with a galaxy front end etc. I put a frame under it etc. when they built the car, the put a visor on it. I have to agree it helps but doesn't quite look right. Anyhow I like what you did with your 31, I decided I am going to attempt to do the 32 header panel also on my 31. I'm new to the hamb not trying to steal ideas or copycat etc. I am in search of a 32 front header panel to get my project started, I have been searching the web with not much luck besides buying a complete 32 5 window roof section from united pacific. If anybody has any leads to where I can find a front roof header panel from a 32 5 window or sedan I believe that would be great. Thanks
    Jim

  18. Hi, Jim, I just saw your post. I found my header on FordBarn for $100, but that was probably 15 years ago. I've seen a couple posted for sale on Instagram in the last year as well.

  19. It's been a while, but I thought this was a decent pic. It's a typical Saturday evening garage scene at the homestead – I was working on front sheet metal alignment and gaps on the Effie and took Miss Vicky out for a quick blast to pick up take-out for the family. #builtnotbought

    The pic above shows just how nice the bodywork is on this Vick. New inspiration to get back to work on mine! Thanks for this great pic.

  21. I had a little surprise in the mail yesterday – I got the new issue of Rodding USA and found a six page feature on Miss Vicky, the Debutante. The photos we taken a number of years ago at the Old North State Invitational in Winston-Salem by Charlie Hughes, a freelance photographer and writer. I really didn't expect it to ever make it to print, so it was a really nice surprise. Big thanks to Charlie and the good folks at Rodding USA.
