Granted it's been a few years now, but I went with Jamco for suspension, brakes and advice for my 50 Ford and the products and service were great....
Jason, I think that's for cars parking on the street only.
Bob, it just registered with me today that the coupe I've been thinking about since the Round Up is your dad's. It reminds me of a coupe I'd seen...
fantastic chop - the angled pillars/rear side windows, the flipped back window... really interesting and it all works. I'm filing this one away...
Ha ha I locked myself out of my running car... at a stop light... in the middle of a thunderstorm... with a couple of HAMBers behind me, and a...
Hayduke, great job with that photo album. Nice shots, just like I was walking the rows again.
Jimmie Vaughn's 54 Ford at Gary Howard's..... Wow. That Jeff's Resurrections shop in Taylor was even more mind-blowing than last year. 2 '53...
You want airbags and rubber steering wheels, that's a different story. But don't try to suggest that buying a new car every five years is better...
Wha? 13k financed over 5 years at 5.75% comes out to about $250.00, meaning you're really paying 15k for the Focus when you've sent that final...
Like it except for the rear fender wheel openings. They're wrong to my eyes... the first thing I noticed. I guess it would look fine with the...
Guys, I would really appreciate some ideas on this. I put a new AOD transmission in my Ford... done in time for RoundUp (for once) BUT... during...
I put my 50 Ford back on the floor last night after hacking, grinding, swearing, jacking, cutting, dropping metal objects on my face while on my...
I use a rubber mallet to tap on the end of the wrench instead. Works great and no chance of ripping a knuckle off and it usually works as well as...
I am in the middle of a C4 to AOD swap on my 50 Ford. This is what I know. Hope it helps: It was recommended you get a 1988 or newer AOD,...
You are a welding god. Nice work. A level to aspire to fer sure.
I was asked at a party over the weekend how I knew to use this or that part in my car. Hell, I didn't figure any of it out... I learned from...
Well, my car's not done, but I might show up anyway. I won't park, just hang.
I need two simple spacers made so I can mount a transmission x-member flush to the frame on my 50 Ford. It's moved 2" back and the frame there is...
I have honestly noticed a big difference even in the short time I've been here. There is amazing content stored in the message board but too many...
Tried to swap a c4 with an AOD in my 50 ford. Cut a big ass hole in the floor. I have the trans bolted to the motor. Relocated the gas pedal,...
Check out www.millerwelds.com. Lot of good educational stuff there about the different processes and welders.
There are a billion threads on welders here. I'm like everyone else here who wants a weld shop at home but on a reasonable budget. I would LOVE...
That is one baaaaad-ass 50. I love the elimination and smoothing of the front parking/signal lights, I gotta do that to my car. Please post some...
I'm here to report that, indeed, the AOD won't fit without cutting both the hump and the floor pan, at least with my 302 mounts where they are. No...
I'm about to do this on an AOD, using Lokar cables and bracket for the Holley on my 302. It's a similar deal with the 700r. You can get decent...
just got back from Idaho this afternoon, and besides, the ford is in the garage getting a new transmission. Hopefully I'll have it all back...
I believe they rolled from the factory around 3300 pounds. Less than a new Mustang GT.
As far as the bolts go, I sacrificed mine.... cut them off. Have you gotten the shackles undone already? Have you tried unloading those bolts...
Thanks as usual Lux.
Guys, any recommendations for powder coating in/near austin? It's a small job.
