Just found your posts on your 50, same original colour as mine, but mine had way less cancer than yours. Like your ride height and nosed hood. I...
Headlights make it, especially with actual light coming out of them. Take the valve covers off and see how much crud there is. Sent from my...

If it aint fun you ain't doing it right
Like what you're doing to the RPU to make it a driven Ol' Skool hotrod. Too bad about the frozen coolant but then again Stuff Happens and you got...
Aero star springs in front, Jamco steering links and dropped spindles, radial tires, my 50 drives just fine with lots of miles on her. I really...
I like your colour choice, leave it or add to it as a base. Ive been seesawing back and forth on a paint job for mine so this may tip the board...
Now I am impressed, you got diddled by the Bondo-n-tape crook that sold you the car, now you are transforming a pumpkin into a chariot. Reading...
Balled tires You know they dont have to work at getting that boar in there, he knows hes going down the road a piece to service someones sow and...

Nice find, and even better when the PO's respond to your appreciation and load you up with extra goodies. S'boxes are just so fine as a starting...
Please do not buy those crap off shore imitations of a "Super 97"carb that Speedway sells. I wasted so many many hours and frustration trying to...

Sounds like maybe condenser but more likely you don't have a vacuum release in your gas cap. Try just removing the cap and driving it. Third thing...
One last question: did you mean Blueberry Bush for the name? Instead of Blueberry Butch
So, if I get this straight, you found an already chopped (in Russia) Merc, stored in a backyard. Then you got it on the road. Right? Then you...
So many things right about your ride: its a 6 with 3 carbs and nice cast exhaust for that Chev 6 rap...... my first hot rod was a GMC 302 done up...
Have been following your build, you got the look just right, well done. Custom international language of gear heads.
Thats a great colour and trim combo, glad to see that you drive it long distances as well. Nice job, Eh??

My almost new perfect condition 51 steering box and wheel installed. Excellent Armstrong steering now
