Re: 3 years later and my 54 Ford has interior

Nice clean black car. I wish I could run a 17 inch fan in it, I have a 15 inch 6 blade fan I picked up at So-Cal Speed Shop Phoenix location. Pretty aggressive for its pitch. The reason why I am running such a small diameter fan is because I used an engine mount kit from ndgearheadscruiserproducts.com that mounted the engine pretty low. Anything larger than 15 inch and it hits the lower radiator hose.

So far I am chasing the bugs on this car. I have to put in a new light socket on the passengers side grill turn signal area. The springs are loose and intermittently work. Like when I hit a bump. Hehe. I also have very dim headlights, but the brights work. Any recommendation on headlight bulbs? I am using Sylvania Halogens right now, but they look like brown incandescents when the system is on. The rest of my lights are nice and bright, so I assume they are the bulbs. It may be a ground issue, but my buddy put in a 12 volt system for me with three large chassis grounds to alleviate any electrical issues that may arise.

Thanks for the accolades, I do get people checking it out and talking to me at gas stations.
