  1. Will do; thanks! If the first number is truly a "6", what would that indicate? I have been searching for any information Austin chassis numbers, but haven't found anything for the early 1950s. Joe
  2. More images added. Chassis number appears to be 654950. Does that confirm any details?
  3. Thank you both for your input! I'll pass your information on to my friend. I'll add the additional photos of the chassis tag when I get them. Joe
  4. Based on @nzcarnerd comment, I searched for lever arm shocks for British cars. Looks like this might be a 1953-1964 Austin Healey chassis. Thanks for the input; I'll post better pics as soon as I receive them so we can be certain.
  5. My friend got this rolling chassis along with a Morris re recently acquired, but he doesn't know what the chassis came from. The frame tag has a chassis number, but no manufacturer's name. Thanks in advance for your help! Joe

  7. Thanks for the notification, Ed. I never met Dave, but I enjoyed his posts and I had eagerly looked forward to updates on his 38 Studebaker repair thread. Rest in Peace, Dave.
  8. Congratulations, Matt. Looks like it's going to be a PERFECT summer daily driver!
  9. Matt, It was a very fun day; thanks for visiting! And thanks for lunch! Joe
  10. @JonW What a great find! Honeycombs, bench seat with 4 speed - WOW!
  11. Just saw this thread; what a GREAT project! Following this - I can't wait to see your updates. Joe
  12. Hope the recovery is going well, Lamar. That trim work is beautiful. As a matter of fact, ALL of your work is fantastic! Joe
  13. Check with Dan Sommer dsommer@earthlink.net I got my 33 Pontiac radiator cap/ornament from Dan. He casts them in stainless steel.
  14. Ternstedt Manufacturing was established in 1917 and was acquired by the Fisher Body Division of GM in 1920. It remained part of Fisher Body until 1947. From 1948 to 1968 or '69, it was a separate Division of GM. It was rolled back into the Fisher Body Division in 1969 and remained part of Fisher Body until Fisher was dissolved under the 1985 GM corporate restructuring. We were "winding down" the Detroit Fort Street manufacturing facility in the late 1980s. The facility was affectionately known as "The Mother Plant"; it was the primary Ternstedt site. When clearing out old financial records for donation to the Detroit Public Library's historical collection, our staff found old check registers showing the quarterly distributions paid to the Fisher brothers from 1917 to 1919. If I remember correctly, each of them received about $250 per quarter.
  15. Actually, it's a 3 speed manual, not a 4 speed. Could be an original configuration...the 3 speed manual was the base level transmission on the Century.
  16. Do you have a pitman arm in that pile?
  17. Yes, Ames Performance has a full-size Pontiac catalog, starting with some parts for the 1955 model year cars. http://amesperf.com
