My favorite rod so far...
So what have you heard? If youre going to throw your two cents in make them count. ;-)
Mcveys doesnt have motors. Parts USA has the motors alone listed at 150 each. If the kit I have in mind is only 325 and it comes with everything I...
I have to fix my power windows in my 54 Cadillac Coupe. The motors are seized and I figured just starting new would be the best bang for the buck....
The parts arent hard to come by. Caddydaddy.com has a rebuild kit for it. Valley transmission is just overpriced. The guy I spoke with there said...
I am taking it to aamco on monday morning. Guess they work on later model transmissions as well ^_^
I really wouldnt mind just having the stock tranny rebuilt. Valley transmission in el cajon wants 3200 and I havent gone anywhere else yet for an...
Yes they are. Just searched them. One of them even has a warranty on it. 499 is not bad. Can I keep the tranny at your place James? ^_^
Are they local sellers? =)
So I have weighed out my options and have opted to just swap out the transmission for something else adaptable to my 1954 331. I was quoted...
Really? Not even a few choice words of advice?
So anyone know of a good reliable and reasonably priced shop here in San Diego that does proper tranny rebuilds. The hydramatic in my 54 Deville...
Well now I just have to find the right alternator locally. Im looking for the 12si type by delco remy. I think its model number 7127. Anyone know...
This is exactly my point. I am running other accesories and plan on getting it bagged so I really want to wire this properly. Anyone have...
Sorry for diggin this thread up from beneath the grave. Just that it seems like everyone seems to have a different suggestion for the proper...
This would be because my generator was on its last limb two years ago and I felt the alternator would provide a more reliable and constant charge....
Awesome. Which leads to my next question? Is that all there is to a three wire setup? No other steps?
My single wire ALT is crapping out on me and I am looking to replace it with a three wire. I have a 54 Cadillac coupe deville. The current...
No worries on keeping it looking stock. I mean the alternator isnt stock ^_^ Ill stop by walmart on the way home and check those out. Thanks alot...
Running a king chrome 12v alternator with the stock type battery from. Long narrow rectangular one =) Original 331 engine. This battery lasted me...
So rather then posting an all new thread ill save us all some bandwith with this posting here. I have a 54 cadillac coupe deville. Battery died on...
Whats funny is that in 2008 everyone said it wasnt good to go down there back then. Search my posts. I asked around before I went down and got...
I dont think it would be reinventing the wheel. I feel that if youre going to do a custom paint job with a custom color on a classic cadillac...
Yeah. I heard of that as well. I honestly think its very possible. I guess im just going to have to jump in head first and learn trial by error....
Ok. So im going to bump this back to the top in hopes of someone seeing this who might know of anything that could prove informational. I want to...
I bought about 8 actual large mother of pearl shells. Cleaned and polished. Ive heard talk about using actual mother of pearl in the mixture. I...
The interior is holding up great. Got all sorts of questions and positive feedback at the grand national roadster show last month. All the...
So rather than creating a whole other thread, I chose to ask my question here. I bought about 8 actual large mother of pearl shells. Cleaned and...
Thinking about it logically. Tijuana isnt even Mexico. Its Baja California. Now where my parents are from. Thats Mexico. Sonora Mexico. I see...
Nope. No coupon. Prices arent as cheap as they used to be. However the service and craftsmanship is still excellent and still far less expensive...
