Webber Chassis’ 1956 Chevy Pickup
The Webber Chassis shop truck is taking shape with a bunch of Welder Series parts...
Dear Welder Series… Custom Bars?
Dear Welder Series… Hi D.W. I was wondering if the 21 1/4 inch bars would work on my chassis, I need them to be 21 1/2 inches long from C/C were they mount. (See) photo above, they would be 1 inch dia DOM Or would I have to get custom made bars, talk too you …
Dear Welder Series… will your triangulated four link lay frame?
Dear Welder Series… With your triangulated four link does this allow the truck or the vehicle to lay flat on the ground in the rear with the air bags deflated? Dear Brian… Hi Brian, thanks for your note. This would depend on where you establish the ride height when you’re setting up the suspension. It …
Dear Welder Series… SBC in a Stude?
Dear Welder Series… I will be putting a chevy v8 350ci in my 1956 Studebaker very soon and will try to use the chevy mount and see if I can use the lower part of the mount and bolt it to the bracket that’s on the Studebaker frame to end up with a bolt on …
Louisville 2013
Here are my photos from Louisville and some on the way down and back. It was a great event!
Syracuse This Weekend!
We’ll be closed Thursday until Tuesday for the Syracuse Nationals in… you guessed it, Syracuse NY. I’ll be posting from the show, but we won’t be able to answer the phone. We should be able to get to emails. Hope to see you there!
Small Block Ford in an MGB
Grant Schwartz has sent in some pictures of his 302 installation into a 1974 MGB. He modified the 3/8″ engine block plate and welded a section straight down from the mounting holes. Parts used:
What’s With the Saran Wrap?
Nobody’s asked this question but I think about it every time I wrap some parts up to ship. I go through a fair amount of plastic stretch wrap. My logic is that it’ll be more difficult for a bundle of parts or plates to slide out of a damaged box than one plate at a …
Cold Flow
Getting the ’40 ready for the road again, we decided to change the bushings on the coilovers because they hadn’t been done (that we could remember). The first challenge was loosening the lower mounting bolt. It’s not that it wouldn’t turn; it had attached itself quite strongly to the inner tube, and the whole assembly …
Dear Welder Series… 1973 Ford Truck Mustang II?
I have a 1973 F100 that I really want to lower, I know with the I beam set up, I won't be able to lower the truck as low as I want to. On your Mustang 2 parts for the front end do you think I would be able to weld in one of your kits and make it work?
Firewall mounted booster/pedal bracket (custom)
Greg sent some pictures of how he mounted a Welder Series booster bracket under his dash... thought it would be good to share them!
Where We’re Headed (this summer) (not a philosophical post)
No, where are you headed, man? Once again, we’re going to Syracuse and Louisville this year (with a smattering of other spur of the moment destinations in between). Yup, we’re pretty predictable. Syracuse is always a bunch of fun… lots of things to do for the whole family, live music through the day, great tech …
Dear Welder Series… Do You Make Your Own Stuff?
This isn’t really a Dear Welder Series post, but more of a “Dear Customer…” post. Some events of late made me think about a few questions people may develop as they browse chassis brackets on the Internet. While I’m certainly not naive to think that there aren’t other companies making similar products, or even that …
Dear Welder Series… 1951 International Mustang II?
My frame rails from outside to outside is 28" and inside to inside is 24". Will I need to modify my frame rails? Thanks!
