Back in 1967, a Hurst competition plus shifter after putting a 4-speed in my 55 Ford Victoria.
For my A, I went to NAPA, gave them the trans, tire size and diff ratio. They came up with a tooth count for the driven gear. I checked the...
I was a junior in high school, in electronics class when the announcement came over the PA system. Not much got done after that. My car was a 54...
That panel is for a late 30 and 31. If you are using the original A gas tank, I would say forget it. If not, you could cut the mounting section...
I think they look better than those silly looking 20" conestoga wagon wheels the young crowd likes.
A few years ago I picked up a (off topic) 66 Mercury S-55, w/a 4-speed, and disk brakes. There where only 2916 S-55 fastbacks built, I was told...
Spider, What I heard was the FAA was shutting down was the control tower due to the cost of staffing it. The airport would stay open as an...
I'm 66 and have been doing the hot rod thing since I was 14. I don't see any and in sight. Only time I'm happy is when I have 2 or 3 projects...
Pertronix uses small magnets in the part that goes over lobes. Check to see if one is missing. Took me 2 weeks to discover that was the problem...
They look the same but there are a lot of differences inside. The HP blocks were cast with high nickel iron.
When you realize that your nectar of the gods has changed from BEER to coffee or water!
I'll take points any day. I've been stuck on the road with the electronic junk to many times. Changed my 74 Power Wagon over to points 20 years...
Driving on that track was like driving on the inside of a donut. Did some tuneup laps in our mini stock VW.
I found my A in the summer of 1970 through the guy next door. His dad found it, wouldn't buy it because the eng and trans were missing and it had...
Wheel spokes cross one time so they are 35 Ford.
My Dad has been gone 41 years. Thankfully I inherited his mechanical ability. And if you can't buy, beg, or borrow it, you need to make it.
Yes, the bulb determines the voltage, not the fixture.
The wheels on it now look better than the conestoga wagon wheels everyone seems to use today.
Welcome from Colorado. From a former CR resident.
Welcome from Byers.
When: 1962 In: My uncle's Black 59 Impala 2 Dr HT, 348-tripower, w/ 3 on the tree. I even managed to parallel park that barge. I was more scared...
Welcome, from Byers. (half way to Kansas, to some people)
When I started building my A in 1970 I had a 50'X80" backyard and tarps. A year later I bought a house and built a 24'X28" garage. No insulation...
Those braces were used into early 30 models. My A was built in April 1930 and it has this type.
52-54 Ford/Mercury, conv/hardtop, doors interchange. Hollander (sp?) #315
At 66 I;m still building my own. Have a 30 Ford coupe, a 56 T-Bird, and working on plans for a 54 Chevy COE trailer tower.
Not a 40/41, but I just hauled in a early 46 Plymouth Biz coupe. Not much diff except for trim.
I wish I could have made it. But, I'm up here in Anacortes, Wa. settling my little brothers estate. 42 years of cars and parts to take care of....
