I have a question if you don't mind. I am only up to page 20 so may have been discussed. Looks like you used a front mount on your 327 and a rear...

Figured it out after digging for an hour. 58-60 Chevy impala. Came in a 54 Corvette project and there is NO way I have the budget for original...
Picked up a new project and missing quite a bit. Dash knobs are not stock and trying to figure out what they came from. Can anyone identify?...
I would also say that the bodies are often narrowed. Look at where the frame rails are lined up with the body in some of those pix. Its tough to...
Thanks all. Thought the signature was the photographer. Was curious if it was sectioned and wanted details on the hardtop.
Anybody recognize this car? Looking for more pictures or information. It may be just a photoshop edit and not a real car though. Not sure. Thank you
Another recommendation for tcp global for paint supplies. Really like House of Kolor KD3000. It's a epoxy/primer hybrid that seals bare metal but...
1946-1948 Ford rear tail piece sheet metal. New and unused. I ended up not using it on my project. EMS has this listed at $225 currently. $75 plus...
Thanks all. Comfortable now with the shackles angled out as it seems with a panhard and sway bar the axle isnt moving. Yeah, the bump stops are...
Thanks, I was in the process of removing the spring so it's half taken apart. I guess I was thinking that the spring being too long was part of my...
Those were just reference I pulled. Here is mine without any weight on the front. When off the jack stands the spring is horizontal and I have...
My spring on my 41 is tired and need to replace. Figuring the correct length has been a puzzle. I have a stock panhard set up and seems like if I...

It's been a minute but there always seem to be a million little things to do. Almost done. Waiting on my wide whites [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I did it but don't recall having problems with the socket. The one I had snapped in the existing hole. You will need to use the small 1157 bulb...

Some sections of my drip rail were rusted and I chopped the top and wanted to keep the drip rails so had to fabricate some sections of the roof....
I am in the PNW also and a month or so behind you on my 41 project.
Thanks for the info. Going to be a return line now with a feed line from the top of the tank.
Anybody know what thread pitch/size the vent fitting on a 48 Ford car gas tank is? 1/4 npt goes in about one thread. Looks like some type of...
Fast forward a bit. Slippery as butter. Will post more pix when it gets assembled
Mr Musico's chopped 41. I like it so much I am making my own version.
48 Fords had a panhard bar and front sway bar as a stock setup. For my 41 (which is similar to a 40, same front axle) I am adapting a panhard from...

Work continues. To cold to do any body work so focusing on the fiddly bits. Drip rails are in. I cut them off the sedan body leaving about half...
Like many of us I would like a 36-41 pickup but it seems like they have all been bobber'd/rr'd and that isn't my thing. Prices seem to be coming...

I am with you saltflats. Getting a hot puddle in the center seems to get the edge of the top piece of metal glowing and then trace the hole with...
