Spent many, many hours and miles looking at the dash in my '56 Victoria. Because of the dog leg, it's deeper than a '54 dash but if you can...
1955 Ford came with Y Block V8 so the only thing you should need may be Y Block motor mounts.
Fomoco shipped 1940-41 five window Zephyr coupes to Briggs to transform them into convertibles. There is no such thing as a Fomoco made 40-41...
Right on! I had the same exact reaction but didn't want to call someone else's god awful taste into question. That abortion is a travesty and...
Have someone on the HAMB drop the front axle.
#1) Got the latch plate in but it won't shut. Am I safe to assume that the spring part slides up and the pin locks into place? Yes. Had the same...
Didn't see the show but may have a possible explanation. In some countries (I speak for France), vehicle year is determined by the first year of...
I love and appreciate tradition. Back in the day flatheads were all the rage because they were everywhere - cheap and readily available. With...
Buick Century got its name because it could top the century mark - 100 mph. Very fast in those days.
Ford reused 1941 passenger car tail lights on 1950s panel trucks.
I believe Chris moved his shop location upstate a couple of years ago. Nice to see him back on the HAMB with more work. His fabrication skills are...
What lothiandon1940 said. Fomoco grilles from the 30s on are unusually attractive items and are rarely improved on (from an esthetic point of...
Currently on eBay. One bid - $5,000.00. Has not met reserve. [IMG]
And back when HAMBer DOC owned it. [IMG]
Does this count? [IMG]
By the way, in the Trend Annual Ryan references, another customs was on the facing page - Glen Hooker's 39 Mercury convertible built by Valley...
Not sure if everyone recognizes the name Pete Brock, who went on to design the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. I personally prefer the first iteration...
I have State Farm too and very happy. However, as the fleet grows, I may consider going to a company that specializes in antique cars. There are...
For the lower "V" shaped pieces, maybe Shark Nose Graham? Just a guess but they appear about that vintage.
Never was so much owed by so many to so few - Wikipedia e"Never was so much owed by so many to so few" was a wartime speech made by the British...
1940/1941 Zephyr rear fenders will bolt on and are streamlined (like 1939/1940 Ford).
European (France, Spain, Germany) manufacturers have used metric for a loooong time but - strangely - their socket sets use 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 inch...
We have had good results using lacquer thinner added at the fuel rail. Adequate preparation is likely the best way to avoid breaking those 5.4...
Check Hemmings Motor News. There are quite a few vintage Lincoln recyclers who advertise regularly.
1939 Zephyr tail lights for sure.
Reminds me of Doug Rice's "Bonneville Boomer." Any more pix and/or info? Killer look. [IMG]
Switch your front tires side-to-side. If it pulls to the left (other side), it's a tire issue.
Could be the brake flex hoses.
Again, IIRC, John incorporated the "hole" into a piece of trim so that it was not easily noticed, and bent a loop in the other end of the rod...
My friend John McNally did this back in the 60s on a wild Ford pick up. IIRC the small diameter rod triggered a microswitch which in turn...
Separate names with a comma.
