a company called walden makes a set of inexpensive extractors. i bought a set years ago and they have never failed me yet. it was well worth the forty dollars i spent buying them. good luck with what ever you do.

thanks for the tips guys. i found one at summit but its really pricey. now i know what im looking for im going to check out a few other manufacturers and also see if there are any used ones out there. like always i am working on a "money free budget"! i am putting this c-4 up against a 406 cid...

does anyone know where i can find an after market bellhusing for a c-4 to mate up to an fe block? and when i find it should i use the torque converter from the c-4 or the c-6? has anyone here done this before? thanks

try this number: 1419-683-3096. that is franks auto wrecking in crestline ohio. ashley is the girl that runs the place and they have two 58's there plus parts on the shelf. prices are very reasonable and ashley is great to do business with.

that is awesome rick thanks!!! that part of the inner fender well is rotten on my car. i guess i need to do some more parts searching. and you must have the coolest library down there if you have illustrations like that just hanging around!!! lol

rick, laroy, thanks guys! that is a big help. what im confused on now is where do those hinges bolt on(i have a good set of hinges) and what do the fenders bolt to? unfortunately the fenders were in the trunk when i got it and everything else was gone except the very ROTTEN radiator support.

at 75 the car is probably more fun than her now!! no disrespect towards someones grandma though!!!

mark if its your dream car and its what you can afford then go for it! sometimes its just more feasible to pay alot more for something in small lumps over the course of several years than it is to just buy something perfect all at once. there will be skeptics along the way, dont let them get...

i found toe pans, floor pans and trans tunnel from american muscle for my 58 ford. they were reasonably priced, good quality and i was really happy with how well they fit. i found them on ebay but i think they have a web site of their own.

i never thought about the hydraulic booster. ive got an old chevy 1-ton out back with one on it so im gonna give it a try. thanks tdlmomower for the suggestion.

thanks for the tip but i also dont have any more room above where it mounts to the fire wall because its so close to the hood now. ive tried just about everything i can think of and nothing works out except a smaller booster or no power brakes!
