One of several sources is Chris and Holly at Shoebox Central here in Oklahoma City. They helped me with all the details on our 49 Ford we...
Went through two of those mystery boxes on our 32 roadster. Both wore out quickly! Opened them up to find worn out brass top bushing, etc. No...
Save your hard earned $$ and pick one from your local salvage. Good selection, right price, etc. That's what we've done.................
If it were mine, I'd run a bumper of some kind. Especially if you actually drive the thing. Original style, pipe, etc. works. IMO. Ya gotta...
Like Okie Pete said: Check out Nostalgic Sid's axle site on the web. Sid has it all...............

Now that's creative. Good job. We'll try this on a couple of our swap meet lights......
Hey, that's a nice truck. Especially with one of Sid's great axles. Keep us posted..........................
ORANGE SHELLAC....... Another thing you can try is old style "orange" shellac on your cloth covered wires. . We put a set of yellow cloth covered...
Good score. Wish I had found it first....................

Welcome to the HAMB. Great car. Having done the options myself, I'd likely go with #1. A chassis swap probably out of the question. Way to much...

I like it! Should be able to find a Dodge grill shell or make one you like. I keep thinking about a beautiful Dodge "track roadster" a few years...
Following this. I like your doing it for "therapy" attitude. Now that's a NICE car as is.
Got a couple from Speedway several years back. Check their site.................
We used the shields on our roadster with F1 brakes. Just like Alchemy said. Better safe than sorry???
It's just like 2935ford said. My 36 has one. The band just wraps around the tire and stays in place. No muss, no fuss.
I like it both ways. We run WWW on our 32. See our video link below...............
Why go through all that hassle? Can't you just use your dropped axle and etc?
Amen brother Fortynut!
Larry, Welcome to the HAMB. What's the story on your car and what are your plans? Don't forget the pics..............
We used a plain vanilla S10 bench seat in our 32. Another freebee............ Had to section out about 6" in the middle to get the right width....
