3wlarry, i was on a car trip with my son a tear or two ago. He was in the back playing with ipad. The next time I looked at it there were a...
Thanks. I am curious why the body styles didn't share more parts, you would think that it would have been more efficient to use the same floors,...
Are 32 ford sedan and 5w door the same? I see they share some common sheet metal in those ares but wasn't sure if the doors were the same. Thanks,
The original trailing arm and coil spring suspension would allow no axle wrap, put it back in and problem gone.
I vote for 180 degrees off. Make sure it is tdc compression by sticking your finger in the drivers side front spark plug hole and cranking it...
I can usually throw the first bead on too. But, its a little coler right now so the tires are stiffer. Also the sidewalls and beads are thicker on...
Well, I can attest to the fact that this does not work on 30/9.5/15 mud terrain tires. It may work fine on lighter sidewall car tires, but not...
Just chat with the guys at the body shop supply place. I have had good luck with the lightweight blueish one, as well as the ones with the kitty...
Steam clean and pressure wash the thing to death, then brush paint the por 15. It will come out fine. Test a spot to see. Much cheaper, and no...
For 50 grand youd better get a clean CarFax report with ito_O EB, keep the Merc, its a beaut!
That is pretty frightening, I wouldnt touch it, aside from removing it. Regarding i beam axles twisting. Has anyone ever put a hairpin on an i...
My dad took some pictures of his, it looks like I can make a template from them on his car, just need to get into town to do it. Maybe over the...
I bought a nice original firewall for my deuce project, but the feet were torched off at the bottom. The replacement feet look a lot thinner than...
Hey Chip, you wouldn't happen to have any duece firewall feet over at your place would you? I bought a nice original firewall, but the feet were...
Been there, tried that, it sucks. Cheaper to have it done by a pro.
Break in additive is for cam break in, after 15 minutes or so your cam is broke in, and you dont need it anymore. I have hundreds of thousands of...
Chip, how was the LARS? When you get caught back up give me a holler, would still like your opinion on my Duece bucket project.
They have already told you, change the oil and run it. Rotella T is a diesel oil, these engines dont need it. Use a good quality gasoline engine...
Next time use cold rolled! You can wet a towel with muratic acid (pool acid) and wipe it down. Try to keep it wet for about 20 minutes. Then...
I forgot about this, i had this happen as well. Also, you need to adjust your idle mixture, the ol' 2 turns out rule is okay, but just a guess....
I fought this for a long time on my '67 pickup. When I recently had the motor apart, i put an indicator on the number one piston and found the...
No sense line would equal no voltage regulation, would it not, or high output, which would kill a battery in short order. Can you post the wiring...
ModelT, or Mustang? Makes a fair bit of difference.
well F&J, it looks like I am on the right track, and in good company.
I started relocating the upper hinge to just below the body line. It is lightly misaligned when clamped straigjt to the A pillar. I need to decide...
I have started several threads doing things on my 32. I have decided to just start a build thread. The body was a 2 door Sedan that was rolled....
There was just some minor misalignment. I pulled it back with a ratchet strap and it stayed with no tension on it. I got the bushing made and...
He may have solved the issue sometime in the last 10 years since he originally posted.
I put the phenolic spacer in to fix it, the gas just boils out of the bowls. After it gets hot and before you try to restart pull the horn off and...
Here is where I am at now. I turned down the od of the original coupler to be a press fit into a piece of steel. I will cut a piece of that and...
