How about drilling the last clip, the front one bolts through the fender, and using double-sided tape for the center ones if you really dont want...
I did mine a couple of years ago and did it from underneath. My 54 did NOT have the access hole in the floor. I believe the manual said that you...
I broke the retainer on one of my cylinders and bent up one of the springs while prying it out. I cut a retainer out of some scrap sheet metal and...
I would take the wafers out and identify them first [IMG] [IMG] Find a key already cut. Maybe match the ignition key if it fits the cylinder....
Very cool! Kids are probably on cloud nine right now
They are all just names. Mine is mostly stock, lowered, straight pipes, not many accessories. Dont know where it would fall :) I like accessories...
I think it would flow better if the outside shape of the bumper followed the body line as well. [IMG]
Keep up the progress. The kids will be wanting you to drive them to school in it every day!
Those 2 pictures reminded me of a mustang hatchback that used to roll around town with an over cab camper. ..sorry to drift off topic. I do see...
If you wear the right(or wrong) outfit people will think your Prince. Lol I painted a truck I had purple before. It was really dark. I sat there...
I have a block that must have been machines wrong or something. It's always needed shims to get the gear closer. It's a 71 block, I finally...
At least! I think you're being a bit conservative. Haha
Not a paint guru by any means but I have seen ghost patterns over black done with ice pearl. Just an idea throwing it out there. Of course when...
Look at the replacement part. If it has a side bar like was mentioned before just drill it out enough for the guts holding the bar up to let it...
[IMG] I had the same think happen on an OT car recently. When I took the head in I overheard them ordering the seat as a +1 then the machinist...
Does that mean you need a different size? Or will the 2.5" work?
Maybe the colors ain't everyone's cup of tea but good work is good work. The coupes are one of my favorite body styles. Car looks sweet, can't...
I put a stereo in the glove box as well. It came with a remote so I cut a few of the slots in the glovebox door so the remote would work with the...
If you have a spare condenser throw it on. I struggled pinning down a stumble, a new condensor fixed the problem after trying just about...
all good suggestions. Check your timing and since the carb was recently rebuilt make sure you have the right gasket. pic from HAMB archives :) [IMG]
I painted my car with the Centari 99a. Acrylic Enamel. I wouldn't describe it as tough, I think that's what you are looking for.
Don't the later Ford switches mount onto the pin. Not to familiar with them but seem to remember they mount onto the brake pushrod somehow....
Well it was definitely after 54. lol The A pillar on my car was attached to the roof a little too far back making the gap really tight in just...
I would like to see an actual picture of one myself. I imagine things work their ways into the brochures but never make production. a couple of...
The spindles cannot be flipped on these. Here is the link mentioned above http://www.chevytalk.org/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/218134/
You should contact Rustem, he has a 54 chevy in Russia. Maybe he can give you some first hand advise...
I suspect they added the booster to the manual brake cylinder. The manual brake cylinders were usually 1" bore on the manual brakes and 1 1/8" for...
I have never seen the spray on type. My uncle had an upholstery shop in the "hood" and would do several of these weekly from the early 70's...
Very nice. As far as tech goes I think you are already at the best place for that. 1953chevrolet.com has some cool info. It does mention that...
