Looks like someone added lights to the bumper, but you nailed it. Any idea what these would be worth? Again, not a customs guy, just trying to...
One of our club members who was big into customs passed and am trying to help his widow get things in order. Out in his shed are these steel...

Been a long year. Garage done, compressor finally came, lift is in and operational. Time to finish this thing up....[ATTACH]
The lift was the best money I spent on this garage. Was out of room before the ink on the plans had dried, so it basically gave me half the garage...
Ready to come apart after getting the seat mounts done. Have to weld the front seat mounting nuts in before the crossmember gets welded in. The...
So after being sidelined for a year and a half to build the garage and get moved (promise no more garage stuff), I finally got the trans...
Sooo, starting to get back on the '32 one piece at a time. The new air compressor won't be in until next week, so I'm not real functional yet, but...
All good feedback. The cool part about building it from scratch rather than adapting someone else's is the little stuff. The slab was poured to...
I have jute under the carpet and sound deadener on the floor. The sound deadener actually works great as an heat insulator (jute sucks IMO) and...
So here's something to keep in mind when thinking about powdercoating a frame. On the '31 only 2 things are painted... the engine block and frame....
Brought the next load in. The mess is starting, but don't have the benches here yet. Gotta do some organization today...
When I've come to the point of making this decision on frames I ask myself "will there be any changes in the future?". If yes (like on the '32...
Thanks. Would've liked to have built bigger, but used every inch code would allow with this. Was actually out of room before the ink on the plans...
Nope, it's a jet and that 4 cylinder? It's actually built and over 460 ci. If it was a whacker or I/O you'd expect the wheel on the right. You...
The '31 is here now, lift is assembled and the Deuce will be here Sunday. The wife's cars come in the next couple trips and then the '32 gets...
Not a drag boat unless you consider dragging in front of a bar decades ago "drag". Bought it to preserve the neighborhood history but am trying to...
So my last post was just before we broke ground on the new garage at what WAS "The River Party House". Absolutely nothing has been done on the'32...
The only way you'll notice it "working" is if you don't overheat and stay at the thermostat temp.
Maybe wishful thinking, but when I see RPM, Romeo Palimides comes to mind with early crude castings.
In the middle of my garage build right now. Gonna hate to see the final $/sqft but stopping isn't an option. Worst part is, final signoff will...
I remember shredding that trans in a stock '79 5.0l. I hope you have better luck with it behind an FE.
I like it. Everything rings true, especially at the end...... "it's about freedom". A freedom we all know and younger generations never will.
Didn't read that you checked the float level. If it's low you'll have a starvation issue during high demand.
If you have a starvation issue it will lean out under load and I don't know that I would describe it as a "bog". If you put a load on the engine...
How I went with my '31 rails[IMG]
Already out of room and it's not even finished yet. Why this? 'Cuz the 2 ar just can't work anymore, and we finally can....... [MEDIA]
Used the stock '31 rails (since the serial# was legible and makes titling in CA easy), and part of the middle crossmember. Redesigned or replaced...
2 sets remaining. Last time up. Moving and won't be moving any of my MT covers. Make me a reasonable offer or they'll be Chinese scrap soon.
