Nope. He just does this kind of thing all from his head, as he goes along.
He had a small English Wheel, but most of the shaping was done by hand with a variety of different shaping tools and a lot of elbow grease.
Went to visit my uncle earlier this year and he showed me his latest project. He is building it from scratch. Nearly everything has been hand...
Question for anyone with a lowered 57-60 F100.... OK, so the general concensus is that when a 56 F100 is lowered, the front wheels need to be...
Where did you get this gauge bezel? I really like it.
I have a couple really nice 60 grilles, as well as the trim pieces. Let me know if interested.
Well, in this case I am referring to a 57 F100. But I guess the question would apply to just about anything. I would think a car body would have...
I have been thinking about getting rid of the seams around the top of the cab and I figure I would weld them (I have two other cabs to practice on...
Good advice! I appreciate it.
Yes, sorry about the typo. 18,000 is the claim. I am going to take a look at it tomorrow. I'm not sure how he can document mileage, but the...
If I have time, I'll drive by tomorrow and take a pic so I can post it.
Actually, if you are using the POR15, you just want to clean it good to make sure all the grease and dirt is off. POR15 will not adhere well to...
390.
My initial thought was that he is marking it up at least 4X what he paid for it, which would put my guess at 5K. I thought about offering him $6K...
Sorry, I don't have any pics, but I was driving down the road today and see a Galaxie on a local lot. I stop to take a look and discover a '63 1/2...
Yes, based on the fact that I ALSO stated that the bodies were straight with VERY little rust. I'm sure someone can give me a ballpark answer, as...
I have a friend that has both a '62 and a '60 Caddy. Both of them were purchased for restoration, but my friend found another hobby and...
I have a 58 that you can have real cheap. How far is Springfield from Idaho?
Who really cares? You building your car for you, or for a bunch of internet critics? If you like it, that's all that matters. Drive it till you...
That front grill looks salvageable. Did you get rid of it as well?
Thanks!
No carb on this one. What should I look for? Sorry for the VERY basic question, but I am a true newbie.
I want to buy and engine stand and Harbor Freight has the 1000 pound stand on sale for $49. The 2000 pound stand with folding legs (for storage)...
Is there a way to visually tell the difference between a 4 barrel and 2 barrel on a 351 Cleveland? Any help would be appreciated.
I have been critical of all the bashing that goes on here when the subject of something that is considered non-traditional comes up. Having said...
Why are you so quick to dismiss this guy and his truck? If my memory serves me, there have been a couple cool International build threads...
Not really. The HAMB police are quick to jump all over anyone they feel is being non-traditional, yet when other non-traditional items are...
Thanks for sharing that thread! What an awesome build.
I doubt traditional hot rodders were ever this critcal of each others' builds. They respected the individuality of the cars and applauded each...
