Making progress. Finished the rear brake plumbing and mounted the shocks. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks! It must be me then.
Interesting. Even as you scroll? Seems like it’s the recent ones that are having issues.
Hi, For some reason images on my post have disappeared (link below). If you right-click, open in a new window, they appear and seem to be hosted...
Looks like some of my photos are missing and I think I they were uploaded to the HAMB. Hmmm, not good. I’ll have to investigate. In the...
Installing my exhaust over the holidays. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Car looks great and couldn't agree more with your sentiment. Lost someone very dear this year.
Thanks all, that’s what I thought but wanted to confirm as the switch isn’t making contact from the batt side. Time to take it apart.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Picked this up and would like to use it on my build. Before I restore it I need to understand how it worked originally....
Love this build! Makes me want to mess with my stock coupe. I should finish the AV8 first tho.
I'm just here for the pictures.
Awesome! I'm also building a '29. If you haven't already, join the Ford Barn. Those guys know their Fords. As far as reproduction parts, trim and...
More progress. Built a battery box with the mount for the ebrakes attach. Pleased with the results but it took longer than you would think. Or...
That motor is beautiful!
Not to hijack, but what do you guys know about Packard steering wheels? I've picked one up. Splined but a larger diameter than my F1. Any idea if...
That's a great idea. Thanks!
Super helpful! Thank you.
Everything but the torch handle is new. I'll inspect the tip to insure it's tight. Thanks!
Are you saying I'm getting the tip to hot, or not hot enough? Which cause poping?
I've pick up this heating tip for my Harris torch but I'm not sure what my setting should be for the gas. I'm getting a lot of popping. Greatly...
Moving along nicely with a few setbacks. Got the front breaks plumbed and dropped the motor back in. With that I discovered my steering box...
Others will know better than me, but I think it depends on the transmission. If using your stock '28, keep as is. I'm using a '32 style K because...
Very cool! ...I'm well into a '29 AV8 build myself. I look forward to your progress.
This weekend's updates. Pulled the motor, painted the chassis, started plumbing the brakes and made a plate to weld the steering box too....
I'd reach out to Mac at VanPelt. He would know and have what you need (if anything).
Awesome build! ...and timely too as you and I are more or less is the same place in our projects. I'll be following along! Carl
I'm running a '39 rear-end mated to a '39 trans and a '52 flatty. I did consider friction, and those are nice!
To kill the motor or disconnect all power? Kill switch to the coil will stop the motor and prevent it from starting but will retain the rest of...
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Good reference for the push rod.
Noted! ...and yes the pushrod is on my bench being made. What did you end up going with as an improvement?
