My wife almost killed me when I bought this one, I wouldnt dare build another.

South Dakota is a fur piece to carry that engine and tranny. I guess I could drive it up there if you would help me swap them out so I could drive back....LOL

As soon as I find the flathead and have something to talk about I will start a build thread. So far, replacing the front disk brakes a while back is all I have done to it. I will get serious when I find the next engine.

Back a winner. I dropped out a while back after I was re-diagnosed with Prostate cancer. But now I am back, cured. Now I can get back to this car. I really want to put a '49-'53 flat head in it. I already have a pair of vintage Navaro finned aluminum heads and a couple of intake manifolds, a...

Finally I am back. Now its time to consider an engine swap to flathead. I dug out my old Ford parts and found a pair of Navaro finned aluminum heads (24 stud) and two manifolds that I dont know what they fit. One is an Offenhouser two carb and the other is an Edlebrock three carb. I dont...

Well, the middle one I like, but the first and last are OOOOOgly......

Welllll,.....I was hoping, at least, for "bad ass". My 4 year old granddaughter is "cute"

Has anyone ever seen this one before and have any information on it, builder, previous owners, etc.? I am trying to accumulate a history on it as I finish it up. Its basically a '37 Ford Pickup with a '70 El Dorado 500 cu in up front. I would like to know what went into the engine build. It...

being a salesman is not my strong point. I am an engineer and I tell it like it is, measure it and write down the results, no mater which way the tree falls. Most people want a salesman that sugar coats it. I dont. What you see is what you get, no BS. As to doing what you like to be happy...

The car was purchased two months ago in St Louis on Ebay and I had a friend that lives in Columbia Mo pick it up for me on a flatbead and deliver it to Texas. Delivery was free since he was coming this way anyway and always pulls a flatbed just in case he finds something he wants, so that made...

Thats what I decided. At this point its like kicking a hornets nest. So mums the word.

I just managed to sort out my "37". Its not a '37, its a '36, so it does fit my birthday, as I suspected. The title says 1937, but the dash and grill say 1936, but the frame says 1941...........LOL

Years ago I tried to make my auto hobby into a business. I imported Bentleys from England and did minimal restoration, just enough to make them "drivers" and resold them to guys like myself that could not afford a fully restored Rolls or Bentley. I was very successful....as far as money goes...

OK, I finally got the diamond plate off and the dash is a '36, matches the grill. The title says '37 and the serial number says '41. Is there any benefit to trying to get the title corrected or will I just run into legal problems in that the serial number is for a '41.

For the person that commented on using spacers to clear the calipers: When I pulled the wheels to replace the calipers I noticed they had a 1/4" spacer. But that was not enough to clear the new calipers that hadnt been ground off on the ears. But I went to the parts house and got a pair of...

Pics of El Dorado Disk Calipers on 37 Ford I finally installed the calipers today and got some pictures. I have been fighting a diagnoses that my Prostate Cancer is coming back so dont have a lot of time for the next two months as they put me in a microwave and nuke me daily. Prognoses is...

I already have spacers and its not enough. I will take some pictures when I get home this weekend. The numbers on the box say they are 1970 El Dorado front calipers and pads., and yes, I didnt think of that, but the rear end could not be that same year if it was a front wheel drive...

OK, I understand that. I think mine is Fordilac. So far thats all I have found. I went to the parts store for new front calipers and the guy suggested early 70s Chevy but when I got home and they were too small was when I started thinking that it had a 1970 El Dorado engine, so why not...

Yes, the windshield is split as is the dash. The El Dorado disks and calipers are mounted on a solid "king pin" axle. To make the calipers fit under the wheels they have been ground off on the ends. I am thinking about reversing the wheels to get clearance on the NEW calipers which are not...

OK, the serial number is 186521887 but I am not sure this is the original number because the frame was cut an welded so many times, I am not even sure this is the original frame!! The car was made from a 1936/37 Ford truck and a 1970 El Dorado. The engine and front disk brakes are 1970 El...
