To my mind, there's two categories of "non-automotive." One good, the other bad. The bad category is the modern schlock: stuffed animals,...
We used Eastwood single-stage to paint mine, and it went well. I sealed my carport with visqueen and installed a couple box fans at one end with...
Any offer should be contingent on seller first transferring the old paperwork into his name. Tell him he can include the costs of doing that in...
Hey @Spooky, good to hear from you. Yeah, you mentioned this was your former spot in last year's thread. This is where we landed after they...
I've heard a soak/flush with denatured alcohol can help. I tried with an early A tank and had limited success.
We'll be at Expo again in our new "usual spot." Coming up on two decades for us. Old signs, Model A and flathead parts, plus a ton of surplus...
Well that's good to know. The magnesium ones are only a few bucks more.
A plain old marine pencil zinc will do the job, and they're cheap. [ATTACH]
I'm by no means an expert, but the tools pictured in the first post look a little odd. I'd suggest a basic KD or similar tool, 21-inches long with...
So here's a story from the other side. Last month I needed a part from Speedway quickly, opted for the "Guaranteed" 2-day shipping (shipping fee...
Continuum. :D There's good advice in this thread, in between the japes and hi-jinks. Sorry if the OP can't see it.
Ah yes, that would be Winky. [ATTACH]
Hi all, I guess @Hitchhiker 's recent (sand)blast from the past of my truck's bare frame is his way of crying out for a thread update. So here...
I just converted an F1 box for my model A, and documented the process in my build thread. You can view it here:...
Looks to me like it came off a pimpmobile.
My greatest find is well documented here on the Hamb. An early '20s Mercury Body Speedster found overgrown in a backyard. As far as finds go, I...
Nicely done, Squirrel.
Stating the obvious, the steering box is a common challenge on these AV8 projects. I decided long ago I’d use an F1 box on the truck, and got a...
Something weird happened here. I believe this thread started as a showcase for wrecking yard cars. The first post featured a Ford and an old...
At this point I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge how fortunate I’ve been in having help on the truck. When I talk in this thread about how...
Man, I'd do an update a day for a week if you'd promise to get rid of that damn swap meet horn.
Seattle Speedometer is an option: http://seattlespeedometer.com/
Spotted on a hike near Lake Quinault on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula. [ATTACH]
Yes, 48-52 F1, F2 or F3 are what you want. There are two primary methods of doing it, and I've tried each successfully. The first is the Vern...
For me it was the opening credits of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Half a century later I still get a kick out of watching. [MEDIA]
Man, it’s been so long, this will be more backdate than update. But here goes. So about this engine. It’s a rebuilt 8RT, which apart from the...
Sorry, it won't fit. The F100 sector shaft is larger in diameter than the F1.
Never counted the threads. But I've counted the responses. There are three: Yes, No, Either. They are repeated over and over and over in a...
I ran a 44 jet on a Stromberg 97 with my Model A four-banger and 6:1 head. That was on the advice of Uncle Max. Worked great.
I think Eckler's sells razor blades, er, I mean Specialty Grommet Forming Tools, for 19.95 each.
