There is a professional sand blast outfit on the border of Rowan County NC, They do lots of Nascar stuff, chassis bodies everything... They did my Coupe and no distortion at all. If you read Flops posts you get an idea of how well the panels turn out. Last time I was there they had a complete...

Facebook is harmless... For MAFCA, it is all about free exposure. As an example, I have liked their "page" as they post I see there post or updates, therefore my friends can see their posts on my page, so they reached me, and by extension 300 of my friends. You almost can't buy that leverage in...

You can bend that hood fairly easy and if you use a tank, or something with a slightly smaller radius than the cowl (as it will spring back a bit) you'll be fine. It probably won't break the paint either. However as you stated if you have a gap at the lower hood you need to fix your frame sag...

Well there is so much info on the H.A.M.B that it really isn't necessary to have it here... go check it out, tons of guys have AV8's over there...

That's mighty nice truck...glad it was a simple fix!~

Interesting...So Tom, I am a 6'2 guy, do you think that the roll down window would really make much difference? I have a late 31 I'm in the middle of doing and it has a roll down window, but had a truck lid that someone already started converting to a rumble... I could go either way. In the...

I have a similar engine, look closely I bet the pad was ground down and it was restamped by CA DMV.... Mine is VA#### and it is a VA title....

I agree...both cars would cost about the same... I've done plenty of restorations...the time and material and parts for both cars will run the same...regardless if the sedan looks better

Mitch is right, if you aren't going to pull the skin of you will need to remove the screws to get the wood back in. You could, depending on your outside finish, weld a flat head machine screw in the old screws place, drill a hole on the wood, with a counter bore for a nut and washer. If you...

On my 31 coupe, it is screwed from the outside with a few nice long wood screws, then the quarter was installed. I bet you will have the same issue here...

Thats a cute find.....

Flop... Check online, with your county. They probably have a county GIS system open to the public. You put in the address and can get the name and address of the property owner. Then send them a letter or knock on their door....

Ewwww Mole hair....I think you mean Mohair....

As stated above, two things to really keep an eye on, first have someone step on the brakes while you really check to see if the brake rods flex or are bent, after all they are very old.... The second it what bill said, try manually adjusting them. as a side note, did you cut the drums, or...
