Link didn't work.

Nice work Gray Ghost!   That configuration would not work on an original car because the spare tire well would get in the way but if you're customizing it, that's a good answer.  Likely a larger tank too. The original HJ tank only holds 13 gallons so if you've got a big V8 in it, that might be inadequate.  Are you planning on having the license plate conceal the cap and fold down to access it as a lot of cars had back in the day?

Here's a rear view.

Since my car was not stock and since a previous owner had cut all the floor out, I used an early Mustang style drop in tank from Tanks Inc. I got it 1st thing so I could build the floor around it and once the floor was done, I had an access hole in the back for getting though to do other things. I have a no trunk car. Here is a pic from the inside.

Mine appeared to have rope caulk, so that is what I used. Just got it from the weather stripping aisle at my favorite home store.

My originally blue '51 was hot rodded and painted yellow about 35 yrs ago. Behind both headlight buckets I found Aloha green. When I started to strip the yellow I found the passenger side had just the Aloha green underneath, but the drivers side had been painted dark green at some time, then yellow. Kind of funny that two different Aloha green cars gave up there fenders to repair my car.

I need a couple of pinch weld clips for a Henry J headliner bow as well as a driver's side defrost vent elbow w/clips. I could also use a Henry J script for my dash. Thanks.

Henry J & Allstate Forum / Body Question
« on: February 02, 2014, 10:28:20 PM »
Should there be a gasket or seal between the body and quarter panel flange on a Henry J? I'm not ready for the final install, but I'm just wondering.

The reply I got back said they couldn't help me.  I'll have to keep looking.

I get the same message when I Google St. Louis Spring. What is a usable set of used springs worth in or near eastern Iowa.

Jim, contact these folks and see if they have the patterns.  They made my 54 K springs and they're great.  Mike

When I click this link, my computer says it's a malicious site. I'm looking for affordable springs too.
