    Just scored some 90 fin drums will 47 merc back plates work?

    Got my fingers crossed. Soon as it dries out a bit outside I will pull them and mock things up for a solid confirmation. Was hoping someone would sy oh yes I used those!

    Just scored some 90 fin drums will 47 merc back plates work?

    Hey guys, I just picked up a nice set of buick 90 drums. I been reading for days on guys doing the conversion. I have the correct hubs and spindles already but need to know if a set of 47 Mercury 8 backing plates will work out. I already own them. Still on the car so I cannot check the fit yet...

    47 merc

    Well checked the cars I have one trim off the passenger side looks nearly the same as driver side. Looks like it has slightly more bevel at the rear edge than the front but it would work if you really need it and it is perfect condition. I am missing the driver trim on this car and the other one...

    My little 46 ford pickup truck.....On s10 chassis

    Here is a shot of the 46 when I got it. We have pretty much had to change everything the previous owner had done. It was a mess and most everything that had been welded just falls apart with a little pressure or pulling. But here it is when I got it. Got some more done today. Bed is now sitting...

    1920s-1930 body help I'd the year and make?

    That is a fine example! Thanks for showing those pictures. I pushed things around a bit today and pulled out about 300 nails that where no longer in wood just sticking out of the body.:eek: they where dangerous for sure. Flattened out the door some, cut the rear fenders and wadded up running...

    1920s-1930 body help I'd the year and make?

    You hit the nail on the head there! Yes for sure take a section from the "middle" moving the front of the window back so it has round matching corners front and rear. Only issue I am going to have is I am missing the passenger door. Finding one will be impossible. So I will have to fabricate a...

    1920s-1930 body help I'd the year and make?

    Yes, in my reading and looking at pictures last night I came across someone that has already done a 4 door to truck cab conversion. Yes full size doors with a small rear window like an extra cab. That way I can channel and chop it and still have room to sit in it. Here is the picture I found and...

    1920s-1930 body help I'd the year and make?

    Nothing yet...... this car has me stumped. And looks like others as well. I have looked at Studabaker, Hudsons, Nashes, Dodges, Chevy, Fords, Buick, and nothing matches. Really hoping someone will be able to tell me what it is. Was a pretty fancy car. Has some stainless steel screws in the dash...

    1920s-1930 body help I'd the year and make?

    Hey guys, I just scored this body yesterday and have combed the net trying to sort out what the heck it is. The car was big with 4 doors and the small rear window. So likely a 3 seater. The header over the windshield is just awesome. Has very cool shape and I can't find anything like it...

    Delco Remey alternator ID please? No vents or fan?

    Well thanks fellas, Not sure if I will try to run it or not. Guess I have nothing in it so if it last awhile I am not out. My 27 t will only hit the road once awhile so it may last there forever. And that is open air engine. So rather than putting it under the hood of the 54 wagon I will put it...

    Delco Remey alternator ID please? No vents or fan?

    How long will it last without cooling vents? Will it survive under the hood on a 350 chevy for daily driving?
