Flip, I've always liked your way with words!
Hmmm, maybe a poll is in order...to chop or not to chop, to pull fenders or not to pull fenders. I like it both ways, I'll probably just leave it...
Interior matched up better? You mean the door panels to the seat? They are the same, the lighting got weird on the panels...makes 'em look blue...
The interior is just brown and cream. You're right, that lighting makes it look like I have blue door panels! It's all the same as the seat...
Well, after trying to sell my '35 5W in a shitty market and having multiple deals fall through that disabled me from getting what I'd planned(and...
I'm playing around with the same thought. I have a '46 flathead and a '39 trans. in my Model A as well. The rear is stock. Seems to be ok, I...
I have to go through it all and see. I didn't wire it, but I chased the hot wire from the battery side of the solenoid to the switch...it just...
Would a bad ignition switch cause a lack of power to everything? If so, I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is. Thanks for the suggestions.
Checked...grounds are good, clean, and plentiful. Clean ground from battery to frame, frame to trans. and engine, and frame to body. I traced the...
So, I go to start my car, turn the key...nothing. No gauges, fuel pump, fan, headlights...nothing. I check all the grounds, battery...
Is that a '40 torque tube as well? Maybe I'll do it your way but with an extra stock Model A spring I have. Very good info...thanks for taking the...
Were those bells literally just flipped around?
OK, this may sound stupid and maybe I didn't think it all the way through, but...can you switch the bells around on a 1940 Ford rearend so the...
Sweet! You gotta love when it's something so simple! What a relief! Have fun with that this summer...
Anyone else...?
Let us know when you figure out that noise. I had an alternator make a noise like that once. One time, I had a bendix gear that would work it's...
Looks great!
Tell me about it. Gearing up to start another one VERY soon.
I searched a bit for pictures or any info on using a stock-style '32 gas tank in the '32 frame with a '28-29 body...didn't find much. Is this...
I think this might qualify...my old roadster: [img]
Dude...this is what I want to build. I saw your separate post on the frame and suspension...slick. Some good inspiration.
I was just wondering the same thing...I don't see why it wouldn't work as well, or better. Chrome is very hard and the CLR just attacks the rust.
I looked in to the Juliano's kit, but I'll try to find info on the Hagan one...can't seem to find anything on them anywhere. Thanks...
There's nothing around the roof opening. No wood at all, no tack strip...nothing. Just body sheet metal. The wood kit I got has the 3 cross bows...
OK, so I have everything I need to do the roof insert in my '35 Ford...wood, padding, cobra-grain top material. But there is no tack strip present...
Well, not that eBay is the best gauge for car worth, but the guy was asking $12k and bidding only got to $4,300. This could be because the...
Well, there ya have it. Plenty of good info and suggestions. Looks like I'll run a 0 gauge + from the battery to the starter and a 0 gauge - from...
OK, so I've been driving this car for a while(over 1000 miles on it), ironing out the bugs for the summer before I get it painted in the fall. I...
If you do a search for "flathead," you'll get all the info you want. My flathead was dependable and ran cool, once I got it dialed in. First of...
Nope...that's post-1970, not traditional:)
