Thank you! But it actually belongs to my son. He's not quite 5 yet, so we've got plenty of time to get it right together. Posted using the Full...
Took out my H.A.M.B. shovel, and just had to dig this one up. I've been pretty busy the past 14 months, as my "new" job keeps me traveling about...
Thanks Paul! Wow, I've seen these threads go for days without a right answer, but you hit that nail right on the head. Thanks again!
Hold the phone... Sir, I apologize. I think you are correct. Just found a '52 Crestline, looks to be same grille bar.
Nope. '52 Ford has 4 points of attachment on the bullet. This one only has 3.
Found me a shiny. It's a purdy one. Dug it out of a pile of crap up in a loft at a junk yard, and despite the half inch of dust on it, I bought...
Making the the photos you take look just like the snapshots you've had in your head. That's what does it for me.
Sho' enough, that's what it is... but what YEAR? Definitely a Jag part though, and used as shown above. That's part of the mystery solved.
Talked to a guy, supposedly the "Jag guru", who said the C definitely denotes that it is a Jag part. HOWEVER, due to the rest of the number being...
That being said, Item 321130827793... Keep in mind, that's the ASKING price, NOT what it'll sell for. I don't see HOW it would, it's only half...
"Value" is kind of a tricky thing. There's no KBB for old parts, so you really just need to do a little legwork in researching before you list...
Dang! Not the SAME, but damn close! At least I know it's more than likely a Jaguar part! Mine looks to be a little older IMHO. Notice the large...
Here's a pic of a pair of SU HS8 2 inch twin carbs I found. Note the holes, etc. Think I'm on the right track?
That would be one BAAAAD motherf$^%in' vacuum..! Lol, good answer though!
Hi friends. Yeah, I'm still alive. Was going through some stuff out in the workshop this morning and came across something I picked up at a swap...
Nice progress, bud! Perhaps I should get off my ass and do some work on mine, too. Keep it up!
Rear axle swap is a given. Already know this. I've got my eyes peeled for a 54 1/4" rear axle, preferably disc, but I'd REALLY like a 53 7/8" rear...
A top speed of 60 in a Model T would be AMAZING! Acceptable, even, just because of the cool factor. In a '53 Chevy... not so much. Just curious,...
I agree. Maybe I'll find someone with an s10 t5 looking to do a straight trade, or I'll just throw these two up for sale online to finance an s10...
Hey brother! You've still got my #, right? Give a holler sometime! As for the s10 t5, if I'm not mistaken, and I may well be, the big attraction...
Hi friends. Sorry for my long absence (to anyone who has noticed...), been busy the past 6 months or so. But I'm back at the '53 project, and...
I've had pretty good results with Mother's polish and a little bit of fine steel wool.
Translation; "Hi, I've never been here before, have no intro, and don't really care what it is this site is about. I picked up these wheels, and...
Just imagine if THIS was his first ride-on toy... :eek:
ouch!
Those 65 MPH speed-limit signs would be a BITCH on the old fingertips as you whiz down the freeway... :eek:
Oh, I don't doubt it! I'm too busy making nice shit for other people's rides eight days a week to actually take some initiative and go make...
I couldn't find a clutch screw bit to save my life. I've been using vise grips to break 'em loose and then a carefully ground down flathead to...
Blåbärsskogen! Sketlöjlig Ge järnet! Galen tunna Överdriv Soppa torsk Sparbössa (I suggest Google Translate ;)) OK, I'll help y'all... In order;...
Packad full av nötter!
