Not a Dodge, just the hood. Started out as a model A sedan but when I sandblasted it the left quarter an back panel just fell off ! So I made a pickup. Homemade bed an running boards, boat trailer rear fenders, 28 plymouth front fenders, 36 Chevy grill shell chopped 10 inches an homemade insert...

Pix are there , I see them on my screen

Piece-o-this, piece-o-that, sweep up the floor an throw that in too !

New project Yeah I’m gonna build it, just gotta finish the wife’s Willys pickup that’s taking up my garage space. Don’t know if I’ll keep the v-6 in it, I kinda got a soft spot in my head for 215 aluminum v-8’s, and the 4spd will definitely go, gotta have 5 gears ! I have a 2003 Chevy Tracker...

58 Thames I picked up in Jersey last weekend, has a Buick v-6, Mustang 2 front end, 8 in Ford rear. Don’t know what I’m doing yet, I’m a little leery about whether or not the front end is done right, and I don’t know if that unibody will take any kind of torque. The

I’ve been told to look for a mid- 80’s Buick Skylark, sound right ?

What's a good choice for a junkyard power rack to put in a 40 Chevy with the original IRS ?

Got a 98 blazer with the 4.3 vortec engine. We parked it cause sometimes it run fine and sometimes not at all, something electronic. I replaced everything but the computer ( too expensive ) as I said, we parked it and I'd really like to keep the chassis and running gear for a future project. Is...

Got the big block and 4-speed in today, had to chop out the trans crossmember, imagine that ! Been slow going , had a heart attack 2 weeks ago an I gotta wear a portable defibrillator, real bitch trying to work with this thing hanging around my neck !

What's the lowdown on putting Granada spindles on a 55 or 56 Ford or Merc.?

Gasser Don't know what you mean by blocking between the frame and crossmember, the axle is mounted either on top of or under dual semi elliptical leaf springs. Get a Ford econoline, or similar , axle and start mocking it up, you can put blocking between the axle and springs, add longer...

Anyone know of a power steering box I can retrofit into my 55 Mercury ?

FE plate Got the plate today, Thanks Guys !

Ford FE Well the jury is in and the verdict read, I'm getting a spacer plate Saturday.

I decided to grind the valve seats on my Ford 352 FE heads tonight, but when I got started I discovered that I didn't have a pilot to fit the guides, and I must have 50 of the things ! Anyone out there know what pilot these things take?? The valve stems measure .365 " not a standard size, at...

Got a 352, when tearing it down I noticed there was no plate between the block and the manual bell housing, behind the flywheel. I remember that small blocks have it, but I never worked on an FE. Is there supposed to be one there ???

40 chev Not sure, maybe a drivers side. I know I got a pair or repairable doors, running boards, rear fenders, dash parts, etc. I didn't throw anything away since the stuff is one year only.

On the tv car shows they show the installation of custom carpet into cars where the floor has been altered, but never explain the process. You usually see a guy with a steamer and a big plastic mallet beating on the carpet, is that how its molded to the new floor shape ? Is it a special kind of...
