Thanks again for all the info. Will be going to Hersey Saturday the 8th if all goes well. Hope to see a few of you.
You may have noticed I cant get back on this site to often. Between very young Grandsons and working on my Kaiser I don't get a lot of PC time.

Looking forward to Hersey
George

Thanks guys
A super start on my quest. I'm still looking for the 54-55 Kaiser right and left radiator splash panels and passenger side radiator cradle to fender bracket.  I have a full 54 dash but none of the control levers for the vents etc. Would be nice to have those.  For me it's always been about the build not the drive. I've had a great time saving a 53 K from the scrap pile.

Hi Guys
Time for me to start looking for a windshield gasket for my  53 Kaiser. Any ideas as to where I should start. I have to cut it down about 6" to fit my car . The original gasket while cut to fit has some bad spots in the top curves. A good used one might be OK.

As always any help is a help.
George
PS If anybody is selling At Hersey this fall let me know where your at.  Maybe I can stop buy, say hello and check out your pile. Currently I'm not sure what day I'll be there.

I looked at adapter site and I'm not seeing anything I can use or afford for that matter. I need to have the Kaiser trans be able to have a 32-48 V8 Ford flathead bolted to it. I'm building 50's period custom out of car that was poor shredder material to start out with. The adapter I'm looking for gives me the ability to use any number of OHV engines from that time by useing the matching adapter to Ford flathead. My 53 is often mistaken for a chopped Mercury at first glance. It has had extensive sheet metal replacement besides a 5 1/2" chop. There was nothing left that was any good when I got it except the drive train. You would never know now it was in such rotted out worthless condition.

I need right and left radiator splash panels. They have to be cheap and in good enuff condition that I can repair or use them as a pattern to make new ones. Also need a passenger side radiator cradle to fender bracket. I'm not sure how much of the 1953 Kaiser front end sheet metal can be used but feel these might be the last parts I need to change over to 1954 sometime in the future.

Anybody know anything about the Flathead Ford to Kaiser transmission adapter kit made by Hoosier Machine way back in the 60's or so. I may need one in the future. I have the bell from a flathead ford truck trans. I think there are at least 2 more parts, maybe more. A adapter spacer between the Kaiser trans and the Ford bell and a tube that fits over the input shaft  to allow use of the Ford throw out bearing. Maybe someone has one in their I can't bring myself to heave it out pile.

I'm also looking for parts to install a 54 font end on my 1953 Kaiser. I have almost everything but I'm missing some of the parts you can't see when the hood is closed.

Any help on anything is a help.

Thanks George
