I think pic two shows a crack from the exhaust seat at about the 5:30 mark and the rust suggests it's into the jacket..
deleted, didn't realise the same pic had been posted on the tudor thread
Well done Cully, I wanted to catch up and have a chat but worked the GPS start line the full week. You'd have done better turning in at Kimba,...
If you're welding spider gears it's a good idea to weld in some steel not just weld up the gears. This may be more of a problem for a later...
The seller has pulled it until he knows what he has, assumingly so he can make some more on the deal. Assuming the right piece is for the...
Have you done a leak down test Dave? That should lead to to your source of lost compression without removing anything but the plugs. Cheers, Rob
I know this is an old thread but I have a great solution I thought i'd share and you'll likely have it in your house already. Tomato sauce aka...
G'day Monkeybiker, One crack I don't think I'd worry too much about, four out of four has me concerned, especially the couple of long ones to...
Looks like a great job Tano, including your trans cover.
Can anyone comment on the succes or failure rate of crack repair in the B and C blocks. I'm talking those radiating from the exhaust valve seat...
Fair enough Herb, I can relate to that. As to adapting I'd think one of the fluid damper range would work best. I'm not sure what fluid they...
Sac Vintage Ford lists a Winfield CRANK PULLEY/VIBRATION NEUTRALIZER 1928-34 The part # is 01535 and it's not cheap. Might save you a lot of...
Forgive me if this has been shared here before,I found it today and thought it was cool on a number of levels including recycling junked parts....
Definitely blower, that valve is to prevent damage in the event of a backfire, not to limit boost. Looks like they were not too technical on their...
Well done you lot, that guy beside the car in video #5 is either brave or stupid though, if something let go with either the car or it's...
Don't sweat it mate, all good. Obviously the SAAB breatheren stick together. Cheers, Rob
Sure looks like a Sonett II to me and the SAAB boys tend to agree. The one you have quoted is the "Flying Pickle" running in H/BGC and is not...
No worries, Racing it in the SAAB I believe, I'll have to check for Max speed though the fact the head is off doesn't bode well for a result....
RussTee, My wife drove her '36 coupe everywhere, every day and we took it on holidays whenever we went. Only ever had three minor issues, noisey...
SAAB 2 stroke, 3 cylinder, flathead head and electric water pump drive.
RussTee That sounds like more of a negative urban legend by those that don't own/understand them. Much like the one on flathead V8s always...
The next best thing to being there, thanks!
Utes should have the same extra frame bracing as an open car. All my '37-'40 utes had the extra X-member braces to stop the side rails rotating...
Don't cut two up to make one. Use one for patterns. Doors and cowls aren't that hard to find comparatively speaking. They're just too rare to...

Boy that Willys improved post chop, good job!
There were plenty of variants globally. In Argentina you could buy coupes with a pickup bed grafted into the boot (trunk) opening at least up...
Bonnet and doors are the same as a sedan though with the exception of the '41. That's definitely a salvageable vehicle, I'll have to scan and...
In reality it was not just the "no seperate bed", it was that AND passenger car comfort. This is the main reason those US built 1930 Model A...
