Beaner, I'm just a FNG. I'm sure i've never posted a damn thing that anyone leaned anything from. If fact, i think the few posts i've made have...
Mr48chev, You hit the nail on the head. Badly installed clip. Just need a stock frame to start over. Not sure what route I'll end up going but...
Great info. Thanks everybody. I guess i'll go pick it up this weekend and get started!
I tried to do a search but didn't see anything exactly on point. I have a 49 mercury that has been sub-framed but i want to go back with an...
On a 49-51 mercury, there will be an actual VIN tag. It should be on the passenger side of the firewall very close to where the firewall and front...
Burger is right as far as the cheapest method. I do think No-Limit engineering (i think) has something called the "column saver." It's basically a...
I moved up here 10 years ago and haven't seen a good local hot rod shop. There are some HAMB folks around but there really isn't much of a "scene"...
Another option, depending on the state you live in, is to file what is called a "quiet title" action in the local Circuit Court. Basically you...
No-Limit Engineering has a video on how to do it for $15 bucks. it was filmed in about 1982 but the information is good. it's a little different...
nomobux, You may be on to something. the cover is one i had laying around and was a little "tweeked." I had to "massage" it a little to get all...
Sounds like we have a consensus. I'll pull the cover tonight and see what i can find. I'm sure it won't be that simple and i'm going to have to...
Good ideas guys. i'll try the shop rags. I was wondering about the flexplate. i know it's not gm, so that probably means it's chinese. i'll pull...
I know it would help if you could hear it but i'm just looking for ideas! My 57 Chevy truck has developed a strange sound that i just don't...
I can understand all the people saying to get out, but, i'm afraid it's a "grass is always greener on the other side" kind of situation. I went to...
Fredo, good idea. i've looked a little but probably need to change up search terms to see more. Thanks.
A guy named LUXBLUE (i think) has a huge thread about doing the camaro clip on one of these. I've done this swap and the MII. a lot of the...
Squirrel, you're right! i remember seeing someone with a 58 or 59 Ford truck that they painted a bright mossy metallic green on the HAMB. i'll...
Caddy-O, Good link. I had seen it before and totally forgot it was floating around. Thanks! 48 Chubby, I think your right, maybe original...
Kinky6, That rust and cream is the shit! I think painting the trim, bumpers, etc...cream definitely gives me a new perspective on choices. thanks!
Badshifter, you forgot pink.

I'm getting ready to paint my 1957 chevy truck and haven't been able to settle on a paint choice. i've got nothing. i've looked at some of the...
Had some similar problems with an HEI. Tested EVERYTHING!!!! Everything except that little carbon button that goes beneath the internal coil and...
I pulled a set off of my 57. no idea of their origin but they are in decent shape and not beat up. they were on it with a stock solid axle and the...
I've bought a few things from them and have had pretty good luck. No experience with the springs though.
Thanks for the reply 26 Roadster.
I did a search but nothing i found exactly answered my question. I'm working on an OT truck for a friend of mine and it came from the factory with...
