Hi to all fellow HAMBers! I am in the middle of fabricating new door pillars to my '38 Chevy pickup conversion. The rea part of pillar was quite...
The owner of the car bought four Lincoln Premieres from US. One two door sedan, one convertible and two four door sedans. One four door is fully...
Almost a year is passed and the car has new floorboard now. Few pictures from progress: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Don't let us too much to suffer, please share your updates :)
Progress has been slow last month or so, done only small details (too much small rust spots, that needed attention before attaching larger...
If someone uses Facebook, then we have a site there too, more pictures about other projects and most recent progress:...
Some updates, job in progress. Both door sills are replaced, new ones are custom made, stronger than originals and galvanized too. The driveshaft...
Well, actually the owner got another car for spares, so the situation isn't as bad as it looks. It's challenging, yes, but not impossible. We...
Howdy all, Last week we had one very special guest in our shop and it seems that she would like to stay longer :) At first I have to say that...
Well, few pics, hope that it would help to understand. Left door upper corner gap: [IMG] Left door - gap after quarter window: [IMG] Left...
I try to take few pics later. I am pretty sure, that welds have nothing to do with distortion - the door gaps were off before and they weren't...
Yesterday I started welding temporary supports to my '37 Chevy. As driver side center pillar is rotten off from rocker, I need these to get the...
You mean Gaz A/Gaz AA flathead four bangers? These are rare, but not too impossible to find. If you are interested more about these engines,...
Thanks for information, Mr 42 :) At the moment I have busy times removing the cylinder heads, as usual these are stuck as hell. I sprayed the...
As I live in Estonia, it's almost impossible to find decent engine from here. Shipping it from US would cost way much more than the block itself....
Few pics (I hope these are not too big): [IMG] [IMG] Cracked Bellhousing: [IMG] [IMG] Marking "Zyl 1", German head?: [IMG]...
Well, I know, it is possible to arc weld cast ion. But how strong the seam would be? I think that bellhousing is pretty structural part of engine...
Yesterday I found Flathead block with heads and internals from local scrap metal yard. The first thing that I saw was cracked upper bellhousing....
Well, my friend gave me an brilliant idea - to connect the box with cabin, but make it slightly narrower. Some kind of different Ute - if you like...
Haven't posted for a long time, but it's time to. Last weekend I chopped my chassis donor - 1996 RWD Blazer, so now I got some rolling chassis for...
Actually, I didn't mean mixing car and truck body parts - I know they are way too different. As I planned, I'll cut the body shell behind front...
Wow, that's a nice pickup, ramray :) I'm pretty sure that I'll have pretty much "fun" cutting and welding and leading, but that's OK. I think I...
Found only one or two from Google, so I ask, maybe anybody have more pics. My idea - to modify that '37 4 door, I got few months ago, to...
No, of course I don't work for government :) I just try to find anything, that could be argument when talking about registering modified old...
As I have seen, here's many non US hambers too. So I ask a simple question - how much could you modify cars in your country? Which mods are...
I photographed more details today. Took few pics from front axle (is it original or not?): [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Most problematic...
Rear axle is from russian UAZ truck, it's basically copy of old Ford axle with added floating axles. If front is not original, it might be from...
Well, I think the shocks are from some Soviet car (probably GAZ or UAZ). As our country was occupied for 50 years by Soviet Union, there were no...
Few pics too, help to get clue about the condition, sorry for the mess, hopefully it will not stay too long there: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
Ah, yes. So it's '37-'38 then. Any pics of stock front axle? I made few discoveries today - front spindles and brakes are soviet made, from...
