Guys , The trim shop I worked for was also part of a large glass shop, seems back in the day most glass shops were also trim shops. Anyway we...
Actually, the Crosley brakes were Goodyear / Hawley and were made of aluminum so they didn't rust.The problem was brake fluid's tendency to draw...
Duh! I should have known that. Thanks guys for the help.
Since the main line from the battery runs right behind where I would put a gauge, would it be OK to put the gauge right in that line ?
I have no problem with a volt meter. How would it be wired into this ? Between the solenoid and main line on alternator ?
I guess while I'm asking questions.............how does the original amp gauge figure into the wiring ?
OK, hot wire running thru idiot light to "L" terminal ? And hot wire off + side of ignition switch to "IG" terminal ? "S" terminal (or number 1...
Gentleman. I'm in the process of building a hot rod Crosley. I know, I know but boys just have to play. The motor is done and I have installed a...
This is where I'm at right now on it.[ATTACH]
My "survivor". Currently under restoration. Built , I think , in the late 50s , very early 60s. All Crosley except the body. Not a kit car, a one...
Clay, not sure how or if I could contact you offlist, but would it be possible to use some of the pics of the Crosleys on this thread in our...
Shot it this morning. Waiting to let it dry a bit before putting out in the sun[ATTACH]
What fun. Most of the Crosleys in the pictures are from our Crosley Kyana Region club. The little Crosley race car is an actual old stadium racer...
Originally the windshield was a one piece Plexiglass w/s. It was broken when the father/son got it so they went looking thru the salvage yards for...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The wheel covers were nasty. They were nothing more than Crosley hubcaps with a center and spinner added, both poorly chromed.I...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The motor was painted with all the various attachments in place and was damned ugly. I detailed the engine...
Drive train will stay as is only cleaned up and detailed. It's all Crosley (1948) except the body. The chassis was Z'd and lowered quite a bit....
I know very little about the car. Who made it ? I surmise that it was built back in the late 50s or very early 60s. What I do know is it seems to...
Thought some of you would like this. I've know about this car for the past 10 yrs or so. In a barn here in my hometown for 40 yrs. It was bought...
Post some pictures of what you have and maybe we can guide you along.
If all you have is the piece of glass, you have nothing. The vinyl (same as on top) is bonded to the glass at the factory in a process that you...
I checked my Electron catalog. Same top, no matter what . It appears that maybe the Dart never came with a glass rear curtain, just plastic. (I'm...
Either glass curtain or plastic will go with the same top.
Spraying water on it can raise all kinds of issues (staining, etc) Better would be a steamer. Quite frankly, there are a lot of steamers around if...
Push come to shove, you can get thru it by yourself. Do you have the old bows for the headliner ? Still in the car ? Got to have them and they...
Potter and his V8 Bike. Cool and yet stupid
For you do it yourselfers, if you need to know the rear bow height, give us trimmer a shout out. We have that info. While on convertible tops--...
Truthfully, you don't need welt in a seat. I think the top stitch seams look better in a lot of cars.And if you are feeling frisky a french seam...
Back in the old days of vinyl, it did not have much if any stretch. You cut it on the bias (45 deg angle) to get that bit of stretch. The new...
