To Tim Taylor, I applaud you for making comments, I have built the twin brother to your cars a wildrod sedan, also designed by Gagon, I agree 100% these are hand built cars, fitment is bodywork as...

Dave, If you want to go ahead and delete everything its your own choice, but some people might be actually trying to give you sound advice. If you don't want help with a problem I would suggest not...

Dave, I am going to go over with you what I would do if I had your previous grill and one of the problems you have had. Keep in mind that great gaps and fitment are not factory, not on a factory...

Dave, Ever considered getting a grill close (or purchasing one that they already have a form for, if still possible) and making the hood sides and hood fit the grill? Fiberglass is easy to work and...

Dave, I am not here to criticize anything or anyone, but in welding class many years ago we where taught that a pretty weld and integrity generally go hand in hand. The fallen stack of nickles...

Dave, from my small dealing with annealing aluminum I have always understood use a acetelyne torch with a carboned flame (no oxygen) and blacken the aluminum to be annealed, then with a nice neutral...

Dave after reading Jerry & Rogers post I hadn't realized that the mount centerline for the upper a arms has been changed?? You can see that the pivot for the upper a arms on yours is pretty much the...

Dave, I just looked at my suspension on my wildrod, looks similar to yours but no extreme ball joint angle on the top a arm? It appears by the pic that your spindle mounting ear for the top a arm is...

Dave, I still stick with on mustang II suspension your bottom a arms should be pretty much level, upper arms are fine if angled down toward the ball joint, also I know your daily driver my have a ton...

Looks great, the small gap between the aluminum and the false floor surely would be taken up by the carpet or upholstery you will be putting on the plywood I would think and shouldn't be a issue...

Dave, My suggestion is call wilwood, keep in mind Wilwoods are racing brakes and not all of the race cars they go on even use a booster. My friend that was a Wildrod distributor very rarely used a...

Dave, Feel free to chuck the tool in your drill or drill press and run a file against it to reduce the OD of the pilot, won't hurt a thing. Best of luck

Its square, my tubes are 5/16 wall also, it will take 'er right down. I think you have my email, drop me your address and it will be on its way, just send it back when your done, you can't hurt it...

Dave, I made a tool on my lathe to do exactly what you are going to do I think, my concern was the tube the bolt passes through had to be cut very squarley to fit against the rod end and really there...

OK, I now remember that Speedway use to sell the American Shifter variety and someone asked their online guy the dimensions, they are 19" long x 6" tall x 3" deep and that's the size I made my box...

Roger I think that will work, I converted them to jpgs!

OK, After spending way to much time trying to figure out how to post a file (never did to many kb's) you can go to the american shifter web site, then to power emergency brake link and then at the...

David, Nice job. I made my own by downloading the autoloc instuctions which had a pretty detailed pic of the inside and used a 2" stroke actuator, which theirs had in it. I simply used a power window...

Dave, I understand what your talking about now, most all of these cars I seen complete look pretty poor around the windows because there is no rubber or trim, I think your on the right track. I know...

Thanks, give me a few weeks and I will post final pics as I am nearing the end of the build (finally) been a heck of a long build, I don't want to hijack this thread with details!! But as you know...

Dave, I wish I could tell you what to do but I can't, I can only tell you what I did on my wildrod project, and I learned it from my buddy who sold their bodies when they where in Canada. He did not...

Lookin' good, I had a friend show me you can head to the local lazer engraving shop and have them make new emblems for about anything for usually under $10, they might be able to make something that...

Dave, Let us know if you have any problems filling the tank, I have a 1 1/2" hose about 6" long go straight down into my tank on my '32 from the filler and I can hardly get fuel into it due to it...

Dave, One thing I have done on interior panels that saves a ton of time and makes it a lot easier is to make your patterns out of clear plastic, like whats use for convertible top windows, cut it...

Dave, Don't give up, I am nearing a wildrod sedan project I bought from them when they where in Canada in 2006, been working hard on it the past 4 years. The stainless grill mine has is very nice and...
