The problem with a painted under body is that rocks and road grit will cause chips which will lead to rust. Typical, cheap "rubberized...
You kind of expected these types of answers, didn't you? The only thing that I would be concerned about would be that the soap is somewhat...
I'm sure you guys have discussed this before (if so, could someone direct me to the month/year of the said banger meet?), but who has tried a...
I drove my first banger powered Model A last Friday! Timing lever up, throttle lever three notches down, gearbox in neutral, carburetor adjusting...
A month and a day is way too long!
Thanks for the responses, guys! Tom and Lowbuckboz, please let me know how it turns out. Are you guys changing all four brakes or just the...
I did a search and found a few references to this, but nothing definitive. Is there much, if any, performance gains to be had by upgrading Model A...
Good stuff Chris! I was great talking cars and dads with you yesterday.
Yes! I meant that the T front spring had been reshaped giving it a similar "smile" as a '32 rear spring, not that it was actually a '32 rear...
From what I have seen and read, cars like Hughes and Gerbers had the front spring arched forward to push the axle forward enough to clear the...
Elrod, I love it!
Thanks for the information on the pressure versus non-pressure cooling system. I understand the dynamics of the fluid under pressure, just not...
So, How many guys have switched over to a pressurized cooling system and who is running stock? What are the parameters surrounding the need to...
Oh, I don't know! There looks like an awful lot of good parts in there. I'll buy both the rear fenders off that Chevy coupe from you. I'd be...
Damn you Chris!!!:D
Great find man! Good luck with the clean-up.
Thanks for the suggestion, but they don't have a machinist at the moment!!!
Thanks Chris! Man, if I could get it done for $150.00, I'd be a happy crapper. What it boiled down to was $35.00 per seat for the machining...
So I did some calling around today looking for someone to install new seats in my motor. I found Johnnies Machine in Seattle who say they have no...
So...who does machine work on Bangers in the Seattle area? And how much should it cost to to do valve seat inserts (8)?
Has anyone ever used two Rochester "B" series cars on a mild A motor? What about a set of Carter YFs? I am dirt poor right now and need to...
Thanks again TV, I appreciate it.
Thanks TV! So what kind of cleaners should I use that will loosen up that tarnish but not hurt the babbit? In other words, how harsh can I get...
Can a Banger block be hot tanked without hurting the babbit? If not, what's the best way to clean it? My block has a bunch of flaky tarnish crap...
Thanks for the advice guys. Just so you all know, I am slowly reading through all of the past Banger "meets" in order to catch up. Brendan, you...
Hi Guys! Although I read this awesome thread from time to time, I have never had anything to add...until now. I bought my first Model A Banger...
Nice job! I know that this comes up a little late, but you may have to install a diverter in the plenum to help prevent most of the air from...
Just checking in to see how things are going? I'm looking forward to the full version. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.
Maybe not a accurate comparison, but many of the European cars (AUDI/VW) have cast wheels that are 8mm (0.315") from the base of the lug seat to...
