Check out the video of manufacturing a 37 Desoto - way cool ! [MEDIA]
I have always just clamped a jitterbug sander to the drum and let it rip for about 10 minutes, drums come off after everything shakes loose....
I also MIG - 308L wire and I switch to my straight Argon bottle. It does a very good job and cleans up pretty. I have some that have been done for...
I often use the 8.8's. Tough units. Lincoln in the avatar has one with limited slip and discs. The tag on the rear states the ratio, 3.23 and...
I had to "go green"[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
C6 fits, but it sure is snug because of the X in the frame. I have a rebuilt steering box in mine, works fantastic. I had a hell of a time...
Turned out pretty good ![IMG] Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Really ? That’s interesting... when I saw the fox I thought maybe they were a foxcraft skirt ornament or something. I was surprised when I got...
I found these cool Lincoln knight emblems that I am going to add to the fenders of the 56.... they are plated bronze. No idea where they came...
It's amazing what can be fixed with some patience (and some home built end-of-arm tooling for the cherry picker) !
The 11/32 is standard for 8-32 nuts, I use them all the time - I think the 25/32 is to keep social distancing between 7/8 and 13/16... Actually...
I have a hydraulic crimper, but a dull nut splitter works too... Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Wow - probably a good thing it isn't closer to me, not sure if I could store another 20 foot project...
Hard to believe, but they had a unit for something as odd as my 56 Lincoln, works fantastic.
Just an add to the thread for general plastic restoration/cleaning, many older plastic parts contained additives for flame retardant, mold...
I was going to jump in on the electrical theory discussion, but I can't stop chuckling over the Lucas jokes...
A far better product is just the opposite of "scrape off the copper and get aluminum", the wire should be silver already, scrape that off and get...
No, it has mustang 2 style independent...
^^^^^ Yup, exactly what Laroke said
Thanks, I originally intended to just put power in it and do some racing and a bit of local cruising - it was to be the replacement for my 39...
Man, I forgot how beautiful the Graham was - been so long since I saw one ! I love 37 Mopars, if I can find one, there's a 37 Plymouth pickup in...
If you can find a spray can of mold release, it is mostly silicone oil...
After I realized that my 1939 chevy coupe has an interesting history (it was Paul Seisler's personal hotrod), I noticed that the 37 Desoto coupe...
I had to return a cat after purchasing a 1939 Oldsmobile - not sure if the cat was a stowaway or if the owner did it on purpose...
Nice car !!!!
The double key is a MUST (ask me how I know)... The setup requires larger carburetors than you would think - mainly because of the horsepower...
Thanks a bunch ! I had forgotten about naval jelly, that stuff is magic ! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Good point. I'm not opposed to welding in patches where needed, hopefully most of these spots clean up without becoming patches...
Just added one of those little blasters to the shopping cart - looks like the hot ticket - thanks !
It's strange, it is in many different random areas, none are through, they all look like patches as in the pic. Rust converter like Ospho ?
