I was told by a very reputable mechanic that there is a way to use the Lincoln distributor with the tach drive in my Y block, but the gear has to...
Not to hijack your thread, but I have a question. Will a 1960 Lincoln Y block truck engine distributor fit in my 1962 Ford y block? I want to...
I hope you're being funny. None of that belongs on here.
Unbelievable. Makes my months of sorting model car parts seem rather trivial.
I wish I had pictures of the 53 Olds 4dr that I had. Full mild custom done in the 50's and updated in the 60's. It was all done with lead,...
Thanks paco. This is how I fixed my 57 Ford panel truck,(pictures below), and a couple of others. My goal with this 60 is to build it completely...
What does the AC unit look like? Is it a factory option?
61 is different. I have been having great luck with finding 2 ton truck donor cabs. If you look at my crewcab, you can see that there is a lot...
Hanging fenders and doors after edging. Windshield post is off about a half inch, which didn't suprise me that much. Headed to my friends shop...
Amazes me, that for a low production vehicle, there are so many panels left. I have saved two from a similar fate.
Getting very close to driving my project out of the shop. Top goes up and down good, but it is bent. Not having side windows yet, makes...
They definitely look better with the short wide box. However, the stepside was cheaper, so that's how they came. Just found another cab in a...
Latest road trip/haul... 800 miles to get a model A coupe body because "they" said it wouldn't fit in my short box ranger pickup. The weak...
A couple progress pics, inner fenders off to powder coater, working on the hood, and I was mistaken about it being SBC powered, we ID'ed motor...
speedfische, that is very inspiring. Answered my question on using different colored piping around the pleats on my 50 convert. I like it!...
A few updated pics, slowly making progress on the 1/2 ton conversion... [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
A few updated pics, progress.... coming together slowly [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Very nice crew cab! I need to post some new progress pictures of my crew cab. Rebuilding the front end, soon to be a half ton.
That looks like the way I build two doors out of four doors.
Plans are for a correct restoration, back to the tropical rose color. I have personally done the world a favor by crushing five s10 pickups, so...
This survivor 50's Kustom we think was built between 1956 and 1959. Last shown in metallic blue - However the first "layer" indicates the...
Had this happen to me years ago. 55 Chevy convert on a river bank, back half of the car had seen water many times. I spent a week shoveling it...
The best motivation is someone telling you it can't be done. That's what keeps me inspired. I also have a great sense of imagination.
One burnt one, one four door, and a rolled one. Measure and curse, measure again, weld and cut. Wish I could have seen the rolled one before my...
and the work [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Next donor [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Because "they" all said its too far gone Burned donor [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] next parts and pieces [IMG]
Finally got a garage rented, so progress can be made. Convertible is prepped for surgery, and should be going under the knife tomorrow.
Gauges look great, Nice wood carving.
I figured out how to delete my previous posts on the other thread, so I'll do some editing and start posting pictures of the convertible build on...
