It’s a stock windshield DW-141 is the part number. Series 61 Sedan.
Yeah it’s definitely different. I did joke with the wife I wanted a fire truck. But it was an easy addition to the two caddies I already have. I...
I was thinking that and then get a decent siren for it. But I’m going to keep it black and put back the dark blue mohair interior in the back....
Only 2 % were Hydramatic, rest were standard.
It’s a combination. Apparently the local mortuaries operated the ambulance service. The boards flip over in the back. On one side it’s to lock a...
Hi All, Haven’t posted for a while as got side tracked on a non H.A.M.B. friendly car. Here is my new project that was delivered yesterday. It’s a...
Won’t work as pre 55 blocks had built in bellhousing. You’ll need to use a later transmission such as a 700r4 with a Wilcap adapter. I’m doing the...
[ATTACH] Nice car.Here is my 56 Survivor Sedan, I sold it 4 years ago and bought it back last week. It too needs the brakes sorting again. I...
I did find out that it won’t work. So I’ll be on the lookout for a spare transmission to build. 1956 is one of those one year only.
This is the transmission I am looking at.
The car has been sitting in a warehouse for a few months. He went to move it on to a trailer today and it started leaking. I was wondering if a 59...
I’ll have to catch up on the videos. I sold my 56 4 years ago and regretted it. So I bought a 55 Coupe a year ago and have been collecting parts...
Well I sold this car 4 years ago and regretted it ever since. It just came back up for sale and so I’m buying it back. It has a bad front seal...
For the price it was. I need to take it apart but need to make some space in the garage first as I have my 50 Chevy up on stands so that I can fix...
It can be, I also know it had a new cam,lifters and the rockers rebuilt. The guy went with an LS1 in the end. For what I paid for it was less then...
I thought either wrongly gapped or wrong size. The whole engine was less than the cost of the Wilcap adapter. Plus I already have another spare...
Hi Guy’s, I have just picked up a fully rebuilt 390 with a Wilcap adapter and starter motor. The motor has only done around 500 miles when it...
Nice, I use to rent a 4000sqft shop with a buddy in the UK. It was great having the space. Was 15 minutes from home and there were a few mechanics...
I’m using this from Macs Speed. [ATTACH]
Well the Super Bee clone sold first so I’m keeping her and carrying improving her. Also selling the Bee means I also ended up with some spare...
[ATTACH] Well she’s now on the road and registered. Got a nice set of 1938 Texas Plates that the local DMV loved. But house repairs have come up...
Bttt
I still have my 50 Chevy 4 door, owned it for 16 years now. It will never be truly finished.

I know it’s an old post. I went to get my 1938 Pickup registered today and need to get it inspected first. I already have the title in my name but...
Funny my wife loves the truck.
Been a while since I posted. She’s up and running and ready for it’s first drive.
Front grill lower apron and fender extensions. The drivers side fender extensions aren’t too bad. The passenger side one needs a lot of work. $80...
I have a spare original not in too bad a shape.
Been a while, this is as far as I’ve got. She’s running and driving. Need to put in emergency brake, weather stripping and glass.
