Looking to Get Started...

Slow progress on the floor pans. I have sub rail repairs to make. My plan is to patch and strengthen and then apply rust encapsulater.

 

Much better!! Keep at it bro.

 

Removed some of the worst pieces of sub rails/cross members. Having some new ones made locally to replace/patch.

 

Seems I have a couple extra air holes in my firewall. Any recommendations/opinions on which ones to keep and which ones to patch?

 

All backing plates, brakes, hubs, bearings, brake rods, wheels… complete.

Kaden helped install the new/old radiator, hoses, and new/old 31 shell.

wished I had a helper! Lucky man.

 

Looking at shock absorber options. The front is really bouncy. I don’t think it will be very good on the road without shocks. I am thinking either original, rebuilts, or new. Not looking for tube shocks for the front since I’m still running mech brakes and I haven’t found a good way to mount them. Recommendations? Opinions?

 

Have a buddy that has Elmer's on is A.......very happy with the look and function. Used his existing arms. Would need to check on their stock.....or what their situation is after the last year.

Thanks Joe! These look awesome! I really like that they are friction. No leaking! I just called them. Seem like really cool dudes. These are more expensive than just going original style. I’m going to check locally for a good pair of original shocks but I may end up going with these. TM

 

we used these tube shock kits from Ken Davis and they work well.

 

Tb33anda3rd- thanks! I’ll look em up. Wonder how well they work with mechanical brakes? TB

 

I used them on a stock model A and they worked fine.

 

@Dustyp489 - you recognize these wheels? TM

 

Slowly doing work on the body. Trying to get the cross members and floor pans patched and ready to install. I really feel like a monkey trying to F a football. No experience with this at all. I spend a lot of time moving parts around and looking at them. Ha!

 

Easily distracted.

 

Looks like some great progress.

 

My roll around for my pickup looks good wife did a nice job

 

Got up early this morning, wire wheeled rust, and encapsulated the bottom sides of the frame rails with POR15.

 

Bottom side good enough for who it’s for.

 

We’ll do the rest on the frame. I’ve heard it’s the best jig.

 

Looking for 1931 Maryland license plate. Getting close to registering my roadster. I’d like to use original plate(s).

 

Did maryland have front and rear in 31

 

Back up.

 

MD has front and rear now. I have seen MD front and rear matching plates from 30 and 31. Not sure what all that means.

 

......Be sure to post your need over on the Maryland forum for the best shot of finding one locally......Don.
