    Screw fixin' the mower, take that thing out and knock down the weeds!
    Sounds very nice for a 'stuck' motor! Didn't look like it was burning oil either.

    @RodStRace the amount of times I’ve seen Austin make his lawn shorter is quite a few. The amount of times it has involved a lawn mower is zero. Lol

    Agreed...I like it very much...

    I'm thinking the short licks cut off at the windshield will carry over onto the dash...are you leaning that way @Austin kays?

    Did they have them back then? I'll bet they just ditched any mufflers and went open...

    I should have went back a page or two I would have caught that...I like the way you guys think...

    Mufflers on a flathead hotrod? Surely you jest?

    anyhow anyone remember how guys use a 34’ gang lever/ brake actuator as a z bar to make stock pedals push a juice master cylinder? We talked about it in depth last summer now neither Austin or I can find the reference threads.

    or a photo of where the levers mounted stock for that matter. Anyone got a stock 34?

    Found it in a video! Putting it here for future reference if we or someone else is trying to make 34 pedals push a master with mostly stock parts and old ford stuff. IMG_3892.png

  30. Austin ( @Austin kays ) my young friend I am sitting across from a lady right now that said, "I like that paint." In Browning it just don't get much better than that. I agree with her. The old heap is coming along real well.

    and as an added caveat it makes noise. That car must belong to a real mechanic/hot rodder. Kudos my young friend. :cool:
