Great looking start and progress! Curious what the process in Sweden is if you build a car from parts. What do you go through to get a title for it?
Pull motor and trans and install new seals in both. It leaks a bit more than I can stand....
Facing a similar dilemma with my family owned '12 Maxwell touring. No one wants to drive it as is. Had a cosmetic, partial restoration from the...
I'm going to chime in here. I, like most every one else here, have sold cars that I wished I had kept. I've also passed on cars that I really...
As you can see in my avatar I am currently liking Lincolns, with huge 368 Y-blocks. Hard to beat the cushy drive not to mention the sound of said...
My favorite combo is black and chrome. Almost anything looks good dressed in black and the chrome sets it off. And of course whitewalls, and the...
Thank you all for your insightful replies. Lol! This is actually the 3rd car I've had with this issue on one wheel or another. 65 Continental, 72...
May sound weird but I have one factory hubcap on my 56 Lincoln Premiere that rotates on the wheel as I drive. The passenger front stock wheel. I...
I'm getting close to beginning my black paint job, probably semi-gloss as I'm not a body man by any stretch of the imagination and I'm tired of...
Thank you all so much for your supportive thoughts and prayers. Great to know you can all be counted on when the going gets tough. Now lets pester...
As I don't post on here very much can one of you please tell me how to copy or link Don so he can see these on his account?
Some of you may know 37slantback (Don). He had an issue with his ticker yesterday and is in the hospital recuperating with a lot of pain. He is a...
Did you get the flywheel and bell housing to go with? I am running mine stock in my Premiere with the automatic and it purrs right along. Speed...
Last I saw it the Vette was in the same driveway with lumber stacked on it, about 1987 or so. Off Thor and 10th in Spokane. It was real. Believe...
Does it have a pressure gage or light so you can tell if the oil pump is working at all? It may have lost its prime if the level was low or...
A shroud could make a big difference. That would force air through the radiator instead of just through the fan. From personal experience do not...
I love your basic idea. It will get people to ask you questions, and maybe if you're nice to them they will get interested in the hobby. Go for it...
Yes it is a y block. A rather unique one without much that interchanges from what I'm finding. I have mine on a stand right now resisting opening...
Thanks for all the info Oldmics. I feel much better prepared for swap meet shopping now. As mine runs really well except for being a bit cold...
Just reread and you say find a 368 dist with "both advances". Meaning what? Mine has what appears to be two stacked vacuum advances. Is that what...
How about on a Load-a-matic 368 Y-block? I have the engine on a stand right now so any suggestions? Still running the teapot carb and it runs just...
Looks traditional to me. I believe that puddle of oil is considered a factor option on vintage rides. Not under mine of course.....:rolleyes:...
Garage Mahall? Hokey smokes! Very nice assortment! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Car is up on stands, pulled motor and trans to stop leaks, found steering box is the major leak. That's been sent out for rebuild to 57 specs to...
I now understand there's at least 50 shades of gray. Just sayin... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Here I thought you meant Do Yourself In. Most every rig I bought in my mid teens to late 30s had this potential. Posted using the Full Custom...
Food for thought. What would be ideal to find 60 years from now that is just a broken driver now? How did these wonderful links to yesterday...
We listen to pandora quite a bit too. When I get tired of that I switch to radioparadise.com. That gets you a LOT of variety. Nice to have a...
Tough to say without more info like part number and such. It appears to be non electronic. I would ground the body and run a hot lead to one post...
I will take the bait and make a suggestion. What about a bracket holding a bump stop rubber that can first be clamped around the axle tube and...
