This sounds like an excellent reason Not to go the GM route!
I've done to many SB Ford swaps to remember but I do remember the 2 SBC into Ford of this years and can't forget them. You can't pay me to do that...
In order to put a 15" hoop on the 16" center you will need to machine the O.D. of the center to fit inside the I.D. of the 15" hoop. That will...
I'd bet money on it,, now.
Very interesting bunch of tubing. On close inspection it looks to have had a fair number of repairs and changes over its life already. You seem to...
You didn't mention Standard or Deluxe in the first post. Now that you said removing Hood Sides it must be a Standard. In that case wheeltramp...
Once you get into it you will learn it was quite simple. No second or third moving parts to make. It comes out in seconds. You work on it where...
In case you didn't notice this unit drops the solenoid to the Bottom side of the starter barrel, not out to the side.
You do know the box doesn't need to be square to the frame rails, right? A little tilt could make some improvements for ya. [IMG]
I would say, started and never finished.
Sorry, I forgot to attach the proof [ATTACH]
Just use a Mini High Torque starter and move on. I have headers in the space a stock starter used to be parked in.
I guess it only stands to reason my 51 Vicky and the 51 Convert would not be wired to the rear the same as a 50 Sedan. The courtesy lights are in...
#-1 You should run the wires to the rear of the car under the carpet. It also needs to be protected. In stock form it went under the door sills...
I use a 9volt dry cell out of my camping lantern. They have enough power to test everything but not enough to let any Smoke out. I also add a...
It's a very big step to recognize your lack of skills before you make the job bigger than it needs to be for the person that actually does it for...
That's like asking how much is a paint job, I have the paint. For sure you don't want the cheapest guy and you don't want a guy just learning and...
What is it you're looking for? I can see it doesn't have a drop lever to lower the bottom wheel. To remove what you're working on it looks like...
Do the same thing you did on top. 2 short sections of rubber connecting hose and a tube built to do the job. You can always make an oval section...
If I were doing that I would terminate the Skirt right at the vertical seam where the lower quarter ends and the taillight extension come...
Marty, I'm sure you already have something up your sleeve. The deep layback seating does have me watching close. In most cases a removable wheel...
[IMG] Fellas, here we have 3 things that totally amaze me. #1- Mitch, the Grand Master of lines. Over the years I have seen a lot of his...
This just goes to show less is more. Once again Mitch knows what he's doing. Well done my friend! and not overdone.
It would be very very rare being Ford didn't make the Econoline until 1961 and they all were single headlight per side. Probably a type-o.
You were talking about removing the Door Handles. How about losing the reflector and installing a Chrome push button in the hole for the door...
How about you let Mitch remove the light and you bring it to me and I'll weld the nuts on the bracket. Then you can just install the bolts without...
The joint profile at the top is much better. The outside radi needs a filler piece to smoothly blend from the widest part of the fender at 3:00 to...
I wondered when this was going to get pointed out. Does he get a pass for the R&P steering being it's connected to an Axle, even if it is a tube...
I agree, and the other thing is the Ring is flat on top and the fender has a crown. Where the two come together just looks wrong as well as from...
Mark, I know Mitch and his work well enough to say that anyone with good taste will not be disappointed. The only thing he and I have in common is...
Separate names with a comma.
