The only ones that I can find for sale are owned by “custom” shops, which means they want $15K + for them. I have owned one in the past and would like to get one with a good body.
New photo of hood
Alright here is a picture of both hood halves showing the six holes in each, any ideas? Waiting for John to reply to my email but any help in the meantime is appreciated.
I have attached a photo of the right good panel. There are (6) holes, only (4) are showing in the photo as the other (2) toward the front have been welded up, but you can still see them. It looks like they are the same rivet holes as the rest of the hood has to hold on small brackets.
Okay, okay...... Maybe it has been a while since I followed up with this, but I am finally down to the body work and am wondering if anyone knows why there would be three sets of holes(six total) drilled in each of my hood halves? It looks as if it were rivets, however the are not any brackets...
Needed Brackets
I already have called VPW, and they didn't have any suggestions. I have attached a photo of the brackets that I need. There are four like this in total, but I have a good one and only need three.
Here are some pics of the Axle revamp. Sandblasted, painted, all new bearings and seals. Sorry for the delay, the whole Christmas thing got in the way of what I'm trying to do here.8-)
Here are some photos recent photos of my WC-53 tear-down. Things should be moving quicker now that I have finished my other project and moved on to this one. A lot of you have converted these to disc brake set-ups. Is it really worth the $1K to change them over, or are the drums good enough...
Thank you TRACTOR, I will head over there and see if I can find him. You may know, judging on past replies and post you seem to be extremely knowledgeable about these WC's. I know that there is a disc brake conversion for the rear out there. But does anyone know where to get one?
Does anyone know CJ Mier from Alaska? I have stumbled across of couple of pictures of his yellow WC-53 online, but can't find anyone that knows the guy. I wanted to get in touch with him and ask a few questions about his build. If you have any information, it would be greatly appreciated.
