I have now had the rear wheels widened from 5" to 8". This pic is just to show the difference between one of the widened rims and a stock rim. Now...
Very cool idea... I was thinking of Weber 36DCD7 carbs but guess you'd have to use 3 for better top-end breathing. These carbs are readily...
Yeah, maybe the headlights are a little on the low side but as I said before...it looks real mean
Ditto. Proportions are spot on and it follows the lines read nice.
I ass is itching to get stuck into my '34 Chevy but I keep having to tell myself not to and get the '53 done as it is nearly finished. Tonight I...
Feedback: I managed to find a local equivalent but the shop can only have it in on Monday but that's cool. At least they could help. Will report...
Very cool! Thanks for all the part numbers guys. I'm quite sure that I'll be able to get much further on those. Yeah, to get it locally will...
When I stripped the brakes and drums off of my '38 Ford front axle I ekpt everything. Now I can't find any evidence off or remmber taking out any...
I finally managed to get to the machine shop to pick up my new front hubs and rear spacers and I must add they came out very nice. The front hubs...
I forgot to mention I did mine for both Chevy and Ford bolt patterns.
Nice. I also made some adjustable stands a while ago. One tip I want to give which is something I learned the hard way, so to speak. You will need...
Cool, thanks guys. That'll mean that I'll have a 1/2" gap around the base of the lense (which is 3") and that shouldn't be an issue to fill with...
I really like the idea of the 58 Impala parking light bezels. How about a set of 59 Caddy lenses in them?
Does anybody know what the internal diameters are for the lense openings in the front parking light bezels of a 1958 Impala? My idea is to use...
Care to ellaborate? Have any alternatives? I'm sure we'd all like to know why you say no?
Thanks a lot guys! BTW - her name is Carla.

Here is my '34 Chevy 4-dr I brought home in June:

I had the radiator support laser cut and cnc bent earlier with all the other laser cut parts. It's the bottom item in the first pic. They just...
Thanks!
During the week I went parts hunting and amongst others came home with this speedo cluster. It was labelled as coming from a Hudson. After some...
I finally got to doing the panhard bars for both the front and rear as shown in the first photo. The longer one at the top is the front bar while...
Thanks! That narrowed it down quite a bit and found it to be from the '54 Hudson Jet: [IMG]
I just got this speedo cluster today and it is labeled as coming from a Hudson. Unfortunately no model or year. What makes me wonder is that the...
No, unfortunately I didn't.
Although I'll only be welding the fish-plates onto the chassis a bit later on I also cut them while I was busy with the plasma cutter. I managed...
These pics just show the front shock mountings that go onto the wishbones. The second pic is a close-up of the one where the front panhard bar...
