That's it thanks! Still, is it not easier to add clips to a stock rim, than to modify the cover? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Is there anyway to apply clips to brand new steel wheels so I don't need to modify the caps, but the rim instead? Posted using the Full Custom...
I though I'd seen a thread here on how to take the stock backs off a 53 Cad wheel covers, and install a set of trim ring fingers. I can find it....
When you get the bullets and spinners on, post what you bought and how you did it. I have a set of these I'm putting on my 1950. Posted using...
I had a 71 boattail with a 455 for a couple years. Now THAT was a tank. Little tiny factory steering wheel and a hood that stretched out in...
Excellent advice, thanks.
For a 50 Caddy. Front brakes have been converted to disk, so I want all new steel rims (5 of them). The cheapest I've been able to find are...
I'm getting quoted about $1200 to recast my steering wheel. Sounds a bit high, but it includes the shift and signal knobs. What does this run in...
Looks pretty coppery to me [IMG]
I know opinions can be strong on subject matter like this. The shop working on my car is a good shop in my opinion, otherwise my car wouldn't be...
Yes, it was a really rusty car, and I have just enough money to focus the sheet metal work on the parts that will show, and I have no shop skills.
Everywhere they're brazing will be under stainless/chrome or a rubber weather strip. The only place I can think it might ever show is around some...
I'm told brazing pinholes after media blasting is nearly as robust as cutting out the rot, shaping and welding in new sheet metal, but only half...
Anybody try this in North Carolina recently?
Has anyone tried to use International Title Service (ITS) in NC since they changed the procedure?
Aside from the fin styling, trim and grill, there's not much different between a 57 Chevy, Pontiac, Olds or Buick. Nevertheless, you can...
Cadillac!!! Early 90's vintage, I'd guess.
I got the front brake kit from Scarebird (http://www.scarebird.com/). This was for 50-53 Cadillac. It's sold as a 41-55 kit. There are others...
I bought this 1952 331 from fellow HAMBer Robert Gilbert for $500, plus $450 to ship it. $5,200 for the complete rebuild, and here it is: [IMG]...
Every battery I've ever gotten off ebay was crap. You'd think I'd have learned, but no. I've bought many for digital cameras, camcorders,...
My 50 Caddy. Since this picture the body has been off the frame, the frame scrubbed and POR'd, brakes rebuilt in back, disk kit in front,...
Thanks you, that's what I was looking for. The guy on ebay says no alteration of the original oil bath parts are needed, except taking the oil...
Thank you. I didn't think it was much.
Is there a way to do this with Autozone parts. A guy on ebay frequently sells them and they gof for about $50 a pop, but I suspect it's just an...
What's the new displacement? Just curious, can't find my scientific calculator.
I was thinking about making a basswood or plywood frontside and backside, with the fingergrips on the backside, routing a channel for the frame,...
Dude, that cracked me up.
All the posts on steering wheel repair seem to revolve around fixing cracks. What do you do when the plastic is disintegrating, and basically...
Where did you get the Caddy paint?
The carburetor interchange options for a 1952 Cadillac 331 c.i.d. motor? Thanks.
