I credit this forum for my knowledge of this "little known fact" about the Dana 53.

I always enjoyed his humor and his way with words. Loved the Batwagon too! Never met him but still sad to hear of his passing.

Welcome. Your Fury is looking real nice.

Speedo goes to 180. Must be a Canada car in Kilometers.

Did someone say Wright? 21-inch-long 3/4" drive ratchet from 1954.

Not really that interesting. More like depressing..... :) Late 80s/early 90s my brother was in the middle of a semi-dormant frame-off resto on a C when his family started growing, so the car had to go. Here's a shot of it when he first got it in the late '70s: Here's a shot of the engine and...

Thanks. Yes, everything gets used.

That photo slipped through. You must have grabbed it soon after my initial posting, as I thought I'd edited it out. I do use two of the pictured vises, the Reed (second from the right in the above photo), and the little silver Columbian in the center of that photo. The others are "spares" I...

Welcome 300C from Washington State. I never tire of seeing a 300-C photo. Keep 'em coming. I briefly owned one (for 1 week very long ago, but I digress), and did own a 300-G long ram 413.

I much prefer old tools, like you all. This'll be fun, here are a few of them: ~1910 Seneca Falls 10" Lathe 1940 Sheldon 11" Lathe 1960s Craftsman 150 Drill Press (pay no nevermind to the 2000 Mustang in the background....) 1950s Homecraft Drill Press (and HC bench grinder in the...

If you're referring to mine, thanks! I bought it off Craigslist in 2013. It had been parked since the mid-90s but the previous owner got it running well enough before selling it that I could drive it the 80 miles home (was a bit sketchy). I've been slowly getting things sorted out but it's slow...

Your inbox is full, I couldn't send you a PM. I have one in decent shape. The main face has discoloration and a couple pits on the first R, some damage on the F, and a pit on the second R. This one isn't for you if you're looking for absolutely no pits.

Looks like quite a few good parts in that parts car. Steering wheel not all cracked up, maybe a nice dash pad, console might be good, bunch of trim, etc. I would think the undercarriage is in not so great of shape, with the car sitting on the ground. Is that a Commando V8 emblem on the front...

I've had plans for quite some time now of showing up at your doorstep Steve when I do ever get to SoCal, and drool over your car collection. From what I've seen you post, your cars are amazing. Bro sold his 300C back then to someone that inquired about his classified ad. I don't know where it...
