DonsMG replied to the topic Door hinges in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 12 years, 7 months ago
For the door hinge mount in the door I fiberglassed 3/8″ plywood reinforcement to the inside edge of the door and installed T-nuts so the door hinges can be removed without removing the upholstered panel. The hinges are mounted to the body using flat washer, lock washer and nut. Some of the flat washers needed to be trimmed to lie flat. A long… -

I paid $22.02 including shipping and handling for the Novis 8 oz Starter Kit a couple weeks ago on Amazon.com (Hoerr Racing Products).

The wheels pictured by RAY10 look like the wires that Mel (LovMyTD) put on Mrs Peel awhile back.
Mrs Peel has won quite a few beauty contests so they must look pretty good.Don -

Yes, I do remember these. As a kid I really enjoyed the Burma Shave signs.
From Paul,s recent survey, the average age of responding members is about 60. So I guess that most of us will “remember these.” -

Roy, How about posting a picture of your shirt so we can see how it looks. Better yet, this is your chance to do a little modeling for the group.

I am 69 and bought an unassembled Fiberfab/ Ford kit in July of 2008. I’ve enjoyed working on it, at my own pace, mostly in the summers. It’s nearly finished and hope to have it on the road before my 70th birthday in May.

Link to Alden didn’t work but I found them at http://www.dannysrods.com/aa_coilovers.html. At $379 they are a bit pricey compared to $99 per pair for the Heidts from Summit Racing.
Thanks for the input. However, for my rather docile street cruising that I’m looking forward to, I think i’ll try the Heidts first.

Rob,
I’ve decided to replace my cut Ford springs with the 275 lb springs as you posted above. I have all winter to get the springs changed, top installed and the finishing touches completed. If on schedule I’ll be able to report on the clearance and ride in the spring. Thanks for the timely input.
Did you install uncut springs before deciding to…[Read more] -
DonsMG replied to the topic Harsh frontend Ford based vehicles in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 12 years, 11 months ago
I’m nearing completion of a Ford based Fiberfab kit and find that the front end is sitting a bit low. I measure 7″ frame to floor at the front and 8″ at the rear. There is only about 1″ clearance between top of front tire and outer edge of the front fender. So I was planning to do something about raising the front end and I like the idea of…[Read more]

DonsMG replied to the topic Steering wheel adapter in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 13 years ago
I found what I needed on the Grant website and gave them a call. They confirmed that a standard installation kit for Ford (3249) plus their One Inch Reducer Kit (4001) to bolt up to my 5 bolt steering wheel is what I should order. Grant distributes through many auto parts stores. I ordered at my local Auto Zone and had the parts in two days.

Paul, I checked out the Grant website and it looks like they may have what I need. I will give them a call.
