Hi Bob I've just redone the door panels in my 46 Mercury with a heavy duty hardboard from our local lumber/retail store (home Hardware Canada) pretty much the exact same thickness as the original door cards. Its shiney smooth on one side and slightly fibrous on the other with a...

Well this probably won't help but? I bought an eliptical leaf spring kit for my 46 Merc from TCI. The instructions give a distance for mounting the top shock bracket from the frame so that the hole in the bracket is where the bolt goes that holds the shock. I'm in the UK till 4th April so...

Well maybe the first photo isn't quite what you're looking for. The 2nd is my A, not for the purist maybe but all it takes is putting the original wheels and tires back on and its back to standard, photo 3. apart from a few go faster bolt on that is. Also available in gingerbread:)

Hi Gents Who's tried to fit a round peg in a square hole:confused: Well to be more precise, anyone fitted round gauges into square dash holes before? I've been told that the Monarch & Ford have the same sort of gauges so have square hot rod gauges been made available. From a posting...

Hub caps were for a jioke when I cleaned it up after removing the oxidisation from the paint. The first picture is at my buddies place in Redeer Alberta and he put a bunch of pictures in with him and his mates holding chain saws and axes to the roof pillars ready to give it a roof chop, my...
