OK, so six months have passed. I was out of town for over three and then tried to order a DUI (Davis United Industries) HIE. American made....
[ATTACH] I left mine stock. Could have chopped it but why spend another Winter working on it. As Oliver said "if the only person you aim to make...
Like Rock, I had good results with Miami.
I know guys that have mounted them under the running board, under the back package tray and other places with no problems. Just make sure it is...
I mounted mine in the trunk between the upholstrey board and the inner rear fender panel. Used heavy rubber covered brackets to hold it to the...
Not sure if the 51 Vic is the same but, those look like the same skirts I had for my 50 Ford.
Same thing here in Indiana. This discussion comes up at least once a week at morning coffee with guys in my age group (post 70). Just returned...
Yes, stock 49 Buick tail lights and bezals reversed. One year only Buick made those lights.
So, where are you or the sale located?
I will be turning 82 in a couple of months and probably on my last two projects, if I decide to keep them. A lot of the friends who I have been...
Any sightings anywhere? Found the add on Gateway Classics who sold it for me.
Wouldn't 0427 be April 27th.
Don't understand why you "won't go near Gateway" unless you don't want to pay their add on fee. I sold a car through them a few years back and was...
The asking price here for a comparable one is about twice what that one is.
I have witnessed the closing of many, many old bone yards in my life (now 82). Most of my builds up until the last five years were done with...
Leaking pan gasket was only part of the issue. The stock pan didn't have a drain plug so as long as I had to remove it to change the gasket I...
Back in 2002 eight of us took four rods out to the Salt Flats from St. Louis. We hooke up with another rodder in Blanding who suggested we stop...
There is one on HAMB right now. Do a search. You will find several.
I pulled a disc brake rear out of a 70's era Camaro. Right width. Used original leaf springs in my 47 Chevy aerosedan.
Bought my first car in 1958, a 48 Ford low milage coupe, for $150
I ask a similar question a couple of months ago. I had called them, no answer, left a message, no call back. Emailed and got no response. No...
I'm like Gene----lasted longer after retirement but once we sold the horse farm and downsized, although I built a new, smaller shop, the time in...
While I understand the fixation with 30's Fords, as a 33 Dodge coupe owner, a model I lusted over from 1958 to finally finding one in 2010, I am...
Another recommendation for Rusty. Aside from doing great repair work for me he's been a phone source for questions I have had.
Sorry to read about the XXX closing. Back in the late 40's early 50's my mom was a car hop at the XXX in Bremerton, WA. It was the local hot rod...
I can't comment on the Merc but I think the Shoebox central lowering stuff, at least the rear is from Jamco. I used Jamco's lowering spring kit...
When I turned 16 back in June of 1958 I located a 48 Ford coupe for $150. My mom took me over to buy it and gave me a quick lesson on driving a...
Beautiful!
Thanks for posting that video. Helps a lot to see the various body mods on the chop as I continue to work on my 50.
More info needed. Is the tank and/or the sender an original or is it a new tank with an after market sender? You need to determine how man ohms...
