I had a similar problem with my 6V OD. It would work OK for a while and then wouldn't engage. Tried another solenoid, better ground, etc., nothing...
That was my problem and why I towed it home. The water pump went out at Back to the 50's, 300+ vendors and not one flathead water pump. I do have...
I've been driving my '51 Ford with '51 Merc flathead for over 20 years with very few problems. I had a water pump go out on it one time which...
Cool thread. I had a set about 15 years ago, they were a full dish chrome hubcap with dice (5?) stamped in them. I wish I wouldn't have sold them....
Yeah, and cool lic plate name too! :cool:
Black, the grayish white looks more like primer.
That looks like an old ink blotter, from around the 1920's. They were used for advertising up to the '50s.
That's what I've been using! ;)
That looks like a universal adapter adjustment tool. Saw one in a JC Whitney catalog.
I have always liked the factory sleeper look, with a slight "attitude" lift.
I have to say I really like the black one, first one in post #3. My brother had one back in the late 60's that looked like it, only it was blue. I...
Looks great! I don't mind the silver tooth, just think it would look better in the center of the grill.
I found a K & N air cleaner for my Merc carb like that. It's a cone shaped pleated filter, with a chrome back on it. It works fine, but might not...
Like they say, it's always the last place you look. Because who keeps looking after they find something?
Amazing!! I saw the Merc at back to the 50's last year. I didn't know he built the other cars too. Seeing all that Ernie has accomplished makes me...
My aunt's '65 Ford Galaxie. I failed when I ran the tire over the pole base, as I was parallel parking. The pole tipped and smacked the side of...
These were taken at Pioneer Village, Hastings MN.
I completely forgot, but I have that book too. Yeah, I would say red, followed by black, and a light silver/grey color. Most of those lakes racers...
NAPA has been around since 1925.
Old photo's from that era are usually black & white, which is why I posted the covers of the hot rod magazines.
Here's some '50s Hot Rod magazines. One looks gold the other's red.
Bad to the bone! BTW, that radio looks familiar.:)
I don't know if it's just me, but the red frame and hood tend to jump out. Other than that, it looks OK. If the body is going to be all painted...
Good deal, you couldn't rent it for that price. I got the bluray "Bullit" on sale for $9.99 at Target a couple years ago.. It is best known for...
Great pics, thanks! Here's some that I have, but have sold some of them.
If you do tarp it temporarily, any color but blue. Green, brown or camouflage.
Cool, Lucas would be proud!
Cool, " Hot Rod Lincoln". A black/red two-tone would look good on it.
I don't have any on the car, just a few wall hangers. I sold the Ford cop and the '63 Cal plate/frame.
I like the red primer, but a pale gold color might look good on it. Maybe some metallic, but it wouldn't have to be real shiny.
