[ATTACH] I got a 47 flathead with 2 97s and these G and C housings. I like them but wanted a little more filtering than just the screen. I cut up...
I too have heard and used the term "drop tanks."
I can now weld air. The frame was a little better than the body but not a lot. It was a 1950 built hot rod.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The only reason I went to parallel springs was because the original lowered set up was kind of hacked up. No sway bar, bad shock set up with...
My 47 was lowered with a couple of leaves removed and long home made shackles. Had kind of funky tube shock mounts too. I changed to parallel...
Both of my cars are registered and plated as collector cars in Ohio. I carry the plates and registrations in the cars and run these plates on...
[ATTACH] Behind. This spring in front set up is the same that has been on the car since about 1950.
I'm far from expert but just for my 2 cents. My 27 with a side steer 32 box and draglink and pitmen arm set up pretty close to correct has zero...
Me loading up to take thing to the local 1/4-mile roundy round track about 15 years or so later than this movie. First time I ran it. Needless to...
I made these adapters for my old Cal Custom staggered valve covers not to fool anyone but because I liked them. This is on a 1971 350.[ATTACH]
I had this 49 Olds in the late 70s. It was a pretty nice car except the hood had blown open and broke the windshield. I cut it all to hell put a...
I'm old as dirt and not really up on the newer paint systems but Golds and copper colors were always difficult for me. They seemed very sensitive...
I'm so happy you close the 28 shell. That's the one I was going to suggest until I read the entire post. Looks perfect.
Thanks Jack, not much left just a frame and front axle and spring and what was left of the body but the real prize was a 1953 copy of Hots and...
I used a VW tank from around mid 60s I think. Only about 10 or 12 gal. though.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well I[ATTACH] saved this one.

I own this car today. I found what was left of it years ago (just the frame and what was left of the body) and a good as gold title. I managed to...

When I got my roadster years ago fortunately it came with a copy of a 1953 magazine it had been in so I knew wat it once was. I got the frame,...
I'd call it a mild custom. Put a modified motor or a V8 in it and it would be a hot rod to me. Traditional though? Never.
If you're asking about my car, it's running 5.60-15s on the front, but the car is a 27 on a 32 frame.
My 27 as it was built by Mahlon Love in a 1952 picture, and what it looks like today.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My 27 was about as "raw" as you can get when I started on it.,[ATTACH]
I bought one of these from Eastwood and it worked like magic on my 48 Ford. No chance of camming out and messing up the phillips head.
Not exactly what you asked about, but I found a place that would repop any plate you wanted with the perfect colors and stamping. I had this one...
