Just an update for anyone looking for a shop to do some work for them. I ended up going to Jay's Place out in Ontario. The entire team there seem...
Yeah I figured I was pretty much stuck. I should clarify that the entire shop is 800sq ft but the usable "fabrication" area ia 8x16 with room to...
Hey guys. I'm no longer in a large shop and have moved into a much smaller industrial unit with a work area of 16' long by 8' wide. I'm super...
A couple random shots before I parked it away
Thank you guys! I'll get in touch and see if they can help me out. NAES
Hey everyone. Its been a while since I've been able to turn any attention to my '53 Chrysler Wagon and I'm looking for a shop that can do a little...
Hey everyone. It's been a while since I posted and it looks like I'll finally have some time to tackle my neglected 53 Chrysler Wagon in the...
I've run a single on several of my past builds way before "hipster" was even a word. I kinda like the asymmetric look it gives. My .02 NAES Sent...
Totally agree! Pretty much the only reason I even looked at it Sent from my SM-N950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Found a pic off of a 1924 Cadillac V-63 Phaeton. Looks pretty close and doesn't have the crown impression like the above pic. Not sure those...
I picked up this bezel today at the LB Hipo swapmeet simply because it looked cool and the price was right. At first I thought it was a gauge...
The aluminum slot mags I bored out have the same bolt circle and hole size as ones made to fit my application. Same brand wheels, etc. Mine just...
I think these came from a Model A project I parted with a long time ago. If memory serves, they are '40 ford. If you guys can verify I would be...
I used my milling machine to open up the holes using a boring bar set on a boring head. The tool was expensive but worth every penny. Any half...
Everything seems to finally be going in the right direction. I have about an hour of run time on the new system amd everything has run perfectly....
Thanks guys for the replies. The screw that adjusts pressure is turned all the way down. The lock nut only has 2-3 threads holding it right now....

Wow its been a while since I posted on this thread. Today I finally finished up this project for the most part. To recap- new tank, elec fuel...
The data plate should be on the drivers side firewall. Post that info and it'll be a good start. Sent from my SM-N950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Honestly I think its been a combination of 10 really good years of use and the change in gasoline to include Ethanol. At the end of this endeavor...
Wow, tough Friday crowd. Not sure how asking if my otherwise solid fuel tank can be salvaged is a stupid question. Seems the opposite to me. The...
I have another thread going dealing with fuel issues. I dropped the tank this morning and am not loving what I'm seeing inside. I had it coated...
OK the gloves are off and its time to knock this project out of the park once and for all! I ordered a Carter Rotary pump, new billet distributor...
Man you guys are great! Thank you for the excellent suggestions. Fuel pressure dropped significantly after the test drive from 4 1/2lbs down to 1...
Update: I'm still in the same boat. Airtex 4 1/2lb pressure fuel pump installed near the tank. New line run along the inside frame rail to a...
Will do for sure. Hopefully this process will help others in the same boat. This Ethanol diluted fuel is no joke! Sent from my SM-N950U using The...
Update- I ran a new hard line and return line staying away from heat sources as much as I could. Electric fuel pump is near the tank, fuel...

Ok I'll run the line as is and connect with 5/16" fuel line. On another note, this couldn't have been helping much. This fuel line was less than...
