Jack, thanx for the clarrification, sometimes i am a little slow. I believe i've got it now and will go out and look at it tomorrow. Just got back from grazing in spokane and found a few goodies. Some for the 69
but none for the 51
. Not much out there in the way of 50's fat fenders, the yard i was in anyway. It is a "oops it didn't pass the emission test end of the road yard" all parts have the same price, no matter what you take it off of. eg. door of of a caddy or a vega are all the same price etc. etc..
Mjr crash yes you have to get the crank ground and buy a clutch and fly wheel set up big enough to hold that much torque into tire wrinkling, pavement melting, bead spinning...oops I'm sorry once I get started. There are several aftermarket companies that offer such parts. If you look back in the posts there is a link to the cad company.
And last but not least "the rocket" what a truck. Made mine look pretty sad, but as they say love is in the eyes of the beholder. Mine only had one small problem, the bunjee cord that held the drivers door shut needed replaced which made right hand corners interesting at times
. Other than that though she had a lot of potential, I'll try to find a pic and put it up with the others. thanx for all the info, RR
