When I drive a hot rod and hear a tire rubbing, I think of it as a badge of honor. Means I’ve got big enough rubber on the back and low enough in...
A 33-34 crossmember will have the center portion curved to hold the curved spring.
Today?
Do you do the work for fun, or to get to an end result. Personally I like the process more than the product.
50 Merc hubcaps are bigger diameter. Off the top of my head I don’t know what that is though. To my eyeballs, that one doesn’t look like a Merc.
Grind off the junk, remove the shock mounts since you aren’t using them, and see if a snap ring will fit in the groove. It doesn’t really need to...
But when is it?
I like ladder bars and wishbones. You can fit the exhaust around anything if you plan it out. They all have benefits and/or drawbacks.

Blast all the corrosion off the bottom of those heads before you use them. Then you can check the straightness. Don’t worry about pits on the...
And, there is nothing wrong with a copper gasket with aluminum heads. I use spray copper seal or aluminum paint on them. Pulled off later and no...

That’s why chrome steel wheels rust so quickly.
Some spammers? Or kids f-ing around?
X makes sense. The “hinge” on a passenger 34 is just the stainless strip. Then there’s the hood tops. Can you see our confusion? Do you have...
