    Saw a truck at a local show here where the guy took a modern Chevy truck long bed, removed the outer sheet metal and grafted the rear quarters of a 1956 Cadillac to it. He then put that on the back of his 1956 Chevy truck.

    mY '49 ford had the "Ford Float" of about 1/4 turn of the steering wheel. I wound up putting in a center takeoff steering rack from some midsize GM product. What a difference!

    Speaking of Cressleys when I was 13years old I mounted a Crossley engine in a Go-cart frame. I hand filed the flywheel to make a direct chain drive to a sprocket on a live axel. (I was just a kid, you know) what could go wrong. It worked but it was a death trap, but I stayed alive and learned PS I HAD A CUTOFF SWITCH FOR BRAKES! Take care my Brother.

  • @chuckster6513
    @chuckster6513 9 месяцев назад +1

    Hey Div,
    Always glad to see your videos pop up in notifications.
    I believe you are wise to stick with the VW engine on the Renobug.
    It will get the misses around without being overpowered and do it economically.
    Not to mention the ease of installation.
    As I live in the middle of Kansas, I am always excited to see a fellow Jayhawker submit photos of their projects as well as all the others.
    We had a February Spring day yesterday with a high of 72* f.
    Today we will be lucky to see the high 40's before the rain, turns to snow tonight.
    Be Safe, Take Care

    Kaiser Frazer also made slab side cars at the same time. Ie. Kaiser Manhattan and the Frazer. In 1946. Marylyn Monroe was at the model launch in 46 when Kaiser launched the clay model with Howard “ Dutch” Darren who did a lot of the Darren bodies for Packard. In 1946 Curries Motors in Joburg imported Kaiser cars and Federal trucks into the SA. The Willy’s aero 8 and the Jeep Gladiator as all the old army guys will remember was made by Kaiser Motors. The first hatchback car was the 49 Kaiser Traveller. The first SUV was the Civilian Jeep done by Kaiser Motors. They bought Willy’s Motors after the war. Thx for the best rats cars ever.

    I feel your pain Div, over here in the Philippines shipping and customs are a complete rip off. To make it worse everything just about has to be ordered in because even fairly common stuff isn't stocked. No one has much money over here so they don't want to tie up capital in parts that may have to sit awhile on the shelf. If it can't be flipped for a quick profit they aren't interested. 😢😮
