That was discussed on page 4...about 13 years ago...haha But here it is again for those just tuning in... Bearing - NTA-1423 - 2 each Thrust Washer - TRA-1423 - 4 each
A little recap of the last 13 years. Just out of the barn... At home and cleaned up a bit After the first bit of "hot rodding" and trying out a mid-50's vibe with 50 merc caps and whites. This version didn't last long and I went to black wall 16's and 46 Ford caps and rings Then back to Kelseys, but painted maroon and the current version Is it getting better as time goes on? Hopefully so...
RPM Nationals was just over a week ago. Ive been partnered up with Josh Carrillo with a flathead dragster for 3 years, then he built a Model A roadster to run Street class this year, so we took my engine from tje dragster and ran it in his roadster. It was running good until the throttle linkage came loose in the second round of eliminations...and we were eliminated. Anyway, my wife heard about the races and then I came home with this... She says...well atleast the race car won that! I said, no my sedan won Best Hot Rod. She says...but it's not a hot rod? She's probably right, but as a friend said, If a guy's gonna take a Fordor to hot rod event...he better win an award... I spent some time detailing the car this weekend, getting it ready for the Roc The 50 year old lacquer cleaned up alright
Of all the different paint choices nothing looks better than lacquer. I've sprayed nitrocellulose and acrylic lacquer for over 60 years. Compared to all the new materials lacquer has a definite look, it's not the plastic appearance of the base/clear and the depth is very distinct. Your 4-door is proof positive, even 50 year old lacquer with the proper care can't be beat. Get your trophy shelf ready for another award.
