I really should make sure and check the H.A.M.B. more often! Not sure why it didn’t alert me to comments on this thread - I’ll have to look into...
Hmm... Don’t recognize them. How big are they? Need something in the picture for scale.
What have I been up to on the Muntz? Well, given the amount of time since the last post, not as much as I’d have hoped. The engine has been in and...
Thanks! Life has been busy but the car is, unfortunately, coming along slowly - as per usual. I’m currently bogged down with some maintenance...
Very cool. I’m betting you saw this one. Took this picture at Pebble Beach 2017. [IMG]
Before the weather turned frigid here in the NW, and I could still work outside, I got a wild hair and decided I wanted to sand all the old body...
Thanks! I’m a ways from doing any interior work but it’s always good to have some pictures in the archives for when I am there. Appreciate it.
Sorry - can’t help you on that one - mine doesn’t have any original parts for the inner fenders. Those look like a good excuse to purchase that...
Don’t sell stuff unless it funds something else you’d rather invest in or do. Want to take a lavish trip? ...Then potentially sell some stuff off...
A great time was had at the Muntz Mania meetup in Grants Pass! I enjoyed being able to meet and chat with some fellow Muntz Jet folks who share a...
As a general rule, people lust after the cars of their youth. It’s the cars they saw their folks or neighbor drive, or a poster they had on the...
I’m looking forward to meeting and chatting with all the Muntz-aficionados, but unfortunately my Jet will (obviously) not be in a state to make...
Do you have the option of using a crimped metal nut instead of the free spinning nut with the palnut? In my line of work (aerospace) we always use...
Whether you want to use the 337 depends on what you want to use it for. I personally like the 337 because it’s unique and not often seen around....
Gotta ask ... an 50’s/60’s vintage 392 or the newer 392 Hemi? I assume since you talk about potentially rebuilding the 331 that you’re putting the...
My 52 Muntz had the 337 and was one of the first 20 or so built that year. I’m not sure when they made the switch over to the OHV but I thought...
Glass or not it looks awesome and love the color. Great job!
The saga of wheels I once read that when beginning a car project a person should start with selecting the desired wheels and tires, as it will...
Ed - where is this picture from? Do you have it in higher resolution? I’d love to get a hi res copy of it to put on my wall.
Thanks! While, I’ll admit, I mainly write it for myself, I’m glad others might enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. I obviously knew...
When I had got the Muntz it was apparent that it had spent some time outside in the rain. Most of the surfaces just had some surface rust but...
Just spamming the thread with some pictures. Went down to Monterey this year and the Concours de Lemons had a few Muntz Jets. The green one is...
I’ve been busy traveling some for work lately and haven’t been too active on here. I figured I’d put down a couple posts of the latest on my...
I bought new lower arms so I'd really like to use those if I can. I'm going to see how difficult (and expensive) it will be to re-weld the housing...
Like any project, even the jobs that are expected to be simple turn out to be a challenge. The Muntz is no different. As I previously mentioned,...
My suburban 2 car garage where I'm working on my 52 Muntz Jet project. That Land Rover normally isn't in there but we were going on a long trip...
Thank you - that's a good tip. The original Hollywood panel is long gone and was replaced with the modified plastic Cadillac cluster you can see...
I have, and the gentlemen that operates the registry just happens to live a few miles down the road from me. He came over to check out the Jet...
The majority of the work on the Jet last few years was not spent buying components, but on cleanup and prep of what was already there. While...
The suspension Unfortunately an unlimited budget is something that I don't have. Therefore, to get the major components to make my resto-mod, I...
