If anybody wants more info also. Unless they've changed manufacturers, summits paint line is made by kirker. I can't speak for their basecoat...
You definitely want to block your high build primer and then spray some sealer before the color. Get some spray on guide coat and refer to the...
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's a 241ci "baby" hemi
I'm a little jealous of your frame table. I was going to suggest z-ing the frame if you wanted it low, without dragging the body, but it looks...
Are you keeping the frame stock?
I don't see any problem with you setting your cab wherever you want it. You'll have more room between the cab floor and the ground if you bring it...
This is basically the one that all the shops I've worked at use. Hook it up to the battery, LED comes on showing it's connected and off you go....
In the body shop industry, where you can't really avoid welding on the car, we use a surge protector that hooks to the battery. Supposed to...
I would look at some 50 fleetline or 40 ford chops to get ideas. You could probably move the roof forward a bit and lay the trunk down. Sent from...
Found this lot local to me. Trying to get the guy to part a couple carbs and the stacks but he wants to sell it all together.[IMG] Sent from my...
Do you have pictures? That sounds like a pretty cool setup. I was looking at running finned stacks as well. I've got a set of MT finned valve...

I have yet to purchase an adapter, but yeah they are offered with the 3 and 4 bolt patterns. Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk
Yes I am planning to "ruin" an aluminum manifold. It's not anything rare or special. Besides, if it works properly its not ruined, just different....
Yeah. With a vintage speed adapter. Once I confirm it works properly I'll weld it and blend it back into the intake so it looks like it came that...
Putting a 273 in my 51 dodge. I have a 4bbl intake I'm planning to convert to a 2x2 setup. I've got the adapter portion figured out, but I get...
When you say rivets I'm assuming you mean pop rivets. Since pop rivets aren't water tight, I would bet you've got moisture built up under that...
That's awesome. Having a classic daily is a goal of mine. Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk
I figure if we're all here to share information it couldn't hurt. When I bought this coronet I was also looking at a 47 coupe(or 41? I forget),...
Definitely will. I've got a deal in the works on some 61 lancer quarter sections for it. I posted a couple weeks about about swapping to 2 door...
Been browsing this forum for a long time but I've only posted a handful of times. I'm 32 and live in Northern California. I've been a body man for...

Anyone have a 2 door they could measure the door on? Sent from my LM-Q710(FGN) using Tapatalk
If you're worried about dealing with the bearing you can just cut it an inch up from the bearing. If you use a tubing cutter you can get a nice...
That's not a bad idea. I was looking at changing the rear glass to something with rounded corners (shoebox?) to fit better with the chop. My whole...
Here's a couple of "photo chops" I did a while back to get an idea of how far to go. I like the slant, but I don't think I want to go quite that...
That's the reason for the suicide rear door. I was originally thinking of welding the b pillar to the rear door and latching it like an extended...
I have a 51 dodge coronet 4 door that's still kind of in the planning stages. Working on clearing out some other projects to get funds and space...
As far as the clutch is concerned you could run a hydraulic throw out bearing and not have to worry about setting up brackets and linkage. Just...
