Try emailing www.rodandcustommagazine.com

Ask them about Damons 51 and see if you can buy back issues, I'm sure they will help you

New editor is Rob Fortier (good dude, he picked my truck at Good Guys )

He chimes in here on page 4 "RF"

Maybe send him a PM on the HAMB ?

He was not there when Damon did the 51 but, he might be able to see what the dates were of the build on that car ?

Big Dad..off subject,,when are you going to get uncles 56 Fury goin,,or would he sell it ?? Got any more pics of it ??

He will never sell it, sitting in machine shed

Hey, that's my article - and my car! Glad to know the info is still of interest to some folks. Thanks for digging it up, Big Dad!

If my records are correct, that article was in the January 2005 issue. That should be helpful if you're contacting the back issues department or searching on ebay. There was a disc brake conversion story on the same car in the September 2004 issue of R&C.

Let me know if you have any other questions on those modifications. I don't often log on to this board, but I do check it fairly regularly.

Damon

Hello !

Hey thanks for stopping thru . No problem, the question arises here often on that particular upgrade .

when i first found the HAMB thought it was the koolest,,,they beat down a guy that had a real nice willys,,,high dollar car,,turned my stomache made me feel like i was at work with the ignorant philly pa people,,,

i got a reply from rod and custom,,,they say they do not have any type of records on there articles,,,so im guessing to get a specfic article,,,you woud have to know the year and month,,but thanks any way,, i saved the artice

kool now i can contact them see if they have a copy,,,thanks

I used to be on the predecesor of HAMB, Rodder's Roundtable. Same clowns there are what shut down the roundtable

Been down over 10 years now

I am building a 50 Plymouth Suburban wagon right now just a year older than the one Damon did. I have already done the dropped uprights and am putting in a rack and pinion conversion from Fatman and a disc conversion from Rusty Hope. This looks like it should be an awesome combo. I just hope it goes straight and stops better

I will try to get some pictures taken this weekend. Right now it is about 20 degrees for a high most days and I dont have insulation in the garage yet, so the heat doesn't do alot of good. The frame has been out to sandblast and straightening, painted and the front suspension arms are painted, new bushings and pivots and the fatman uprights and eaton springs are in. I need to get the machine work done to the spindles, king pin bushings and drill and tap some holes for the disc conversion. The rear springs are rebushed with poly bushings and installed with the rear in place but the spring perches are not welded yet until the engine and trans are in place to set pinion angle. This project is only about 2 years behind schedule, never had the intention to do a frame off for a driver, but it turned out to have been hit in the front left corner and bent the frame. I will start a new string for this next week and try to make at least some progress before the spring thaw

they always seem to go farther then we orignally plan,,,i have heat in the garage but its been colder the nnormal here and i heat with oil,,,and we all know thats not cheap,,so ill wait till it warms up a little before i get to the garage,,,cant wait to see your pics.,..
