Tom Murray would hate to see his old Olds in a trailer.
Good times. I almost forgot what she looked like back then.
the original 49-50 front fenders have a bump similar that for the park light.
I have couple of these imperial benders. They are very nice for Nicopp and steel. The handles are adjustable for a full 180 degree bend....
Good times.

Speaking from experience, those are home made air dams to funnel all the air through the radiator. I built one for my merc but it wasnt that...

search for the thread that Dave Wolk made about how he mounted sombreros. I'll be doing the same mounting style for mine.
So, y’all inspired me to tackle a new throttle linkage project. I was running a cable spoon pedal (yuck). I made the rod out of 1/4” solid rod and...
Doing assembly on my freshly narrowed 9" and had a few questions (yes, I've searched). 1. Is the gasket between the brake backing plate and...
Ugh! I need to get mine back on the road.
