Gotta love the old "junk yards". I'd love to have this junk now.
I read somewhere that the "new" '32 style cross-members have some angle built into them. As far the pads, i'd make them about 3/8-1/2 inch below...
Just last week I seen a glass '32 3 window body locally on Reading Pa's Craig's list. I think it was in the Douglasville area. It also came with...
Flop, outstanding metal work...as usual. What exactly are the steps and procedures you take to achieve those results. Also, what are your tools of...
Found this on the web earlier today. My desktop changes, but being that i'm picking up a model A coupe this weekend, it seemed fitting.
No one?
Just wondering if anyone has any experience (good or bad) with this company called Early V8 Sales Inc. I'm in need of full subrails for a '30...
I've learned over the years not to buy anything from them with a cutting edge. It's junk. I just bought some locking c-clamps from them and...
I'm with henry29. I just sold my '46 chevy, but if i remember, the fender was about 1/4 inch below the quarter panel. The beaded fender welt takes...
The panels i have now came with my "A". Don't know who made them or anything. Anyway, i checked out Howells online and Brattons. It looks like...
I finally started working on my 1930 ford cowl. The lower section of the cowl needs a patch panel, which i do have...but the shape is all wrong....
Thanks guys to all that responded. I'm gonna check this truck out and see what condition it's in. Looks good from the pictures but you all know...
Thanks. Does anyone know for sure if all the sheetmetal is the same? Hood/grill/fenders/cab.
There's a guy i know that says he has a 1936 Ford stake-bed farm truck he wants to get rid of. My question is, are the cabs/fenders the same size...
If you want a good all-purpose welder, then buy a 220volt mig welder. Fairly easy to learn and will be able to handle anything from sheetmetal up...
Oops, sorry Brianangus. It looks like you already answered my question while i was typing. What springs did you use on the rear?
Brian, i'm glad you responded. I followed your build a few years back on another site. But that site has changes so much i can't seem to find your...
Thanks 36-3window. Not to disaggree with you or anything, but I'm not sure how familiar you are with model A's. There's a few things you might not...
I've started scratch-building the chassis for my '30 ford p/u. I'm using 2x4x.125 rectangular mild steel tubing. The front of both rails are done...
Harbor Freight tools are great for "arm-chair mechanics". They look great sitting around the shop. But if you plan on actually using them, don't...
Okay, all this talk about molasses has me hooked. I think i'm gonna try this on my model A cowl. One question though. The "A" pillar is hollow....
It seems that everyone has different opinions about what this car is worth and whether it's cool looking and that's ok because that is what this...
Thanks everyone. Your answers are honest ones and pretty much what i'd been thinking. Sure these cars look great rodded and i do have a soft spot...
I found this '47 Plymouth coupe not too far from me. It's not advertised but the guy said it is for sale. He wants 1000 bucks for it. The good...
Thanks rodstrace. Anyone else know of any others?
Are any of you guys familiar with any companies that manufacture reproduction sheetmetal parts for '47 plymouth coupes. I found a car for sale...
Just hook-up the bottle to the regulater. Open the bottle valve all the way and check if the tank has pressure. Set the reg. to about 22 psi. Plug...
I don't have an answer for you other then to say just check things out one step at a time. Is there enough air pressure to the unit? They won't...
Some people use old Ludwig base drum foot pedals. They get the job done and look pretty good. Plus there cheap. Ebay always has them.
Thanks Rustynewyorker. Last time i checked nobody carried them. Great. My doors are actually only rotted at the bottoms. But with the dents and...
