Thanks for posting the pictures - very neat and tidy installation. Does the wishbone mounting crossmember suffer from braking loads or...
Are you going to use it in the Merc in your avatar? I wonder if those missing 16 cubic inches in the Ford engine make much difference to performance?
There's a lot of good info at Vanpelt's website http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_transID_3speed.htm I had a quick scan through a...
Great tech, thanks. I particularly like the simple piece of shaped tube used to finish the end of a bead.
Looks fake to me - can you drop it off at my shipper in Morris Plains? I'll get it here and scrap it for you.
Cool car, although I'm not keen on the front mags. Is it actually a 'T'? It looks quite a deep body for a '23, but not curvy enough for a '26-'27?
Wow, steveb, that paint is like glass! How do you get the chrome (or re-chrome) done?
Thanks, might give that a try, but it does piss me off that someone as supposedly big in their field as Vbulletin can't make their product work...
Same here - definitely a problem when viewing in IE, and I get the same on the Jockey Journal. And as it's a work PC/laptop I have no option on...
And again. Not many more chances to vote . . .
Think this is the one you're looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73vlDHwZtHM
So is it a sheetmetal part? What sort of year model is it for? I know much (if not all?) of the repop Ford parts from Mac's and the like have...
Good luck, hope all goes well. I've looked in on this thread a few times before and it's difficult to know just what to say - your positivity is...
Crazy! I think I would have made a couple more while I was at it :D
Done it.
I don't know about Offy ones, but casting pinholes are a fact of life with sand cast aluminium parts. If by "NOS" you mean they're vintage then it...
Fabulous pics, CW. Don't suppose the phaeton is still in the family?
I love the Rice '40 (above), and that's probably the way I would head, but your one's original green look has a lot going for it. Chrome reverse...
A friend used a '56 F100 box in his Roadster, and I pressed the '32 shaft into the F100 worm gear so he could use the '32 column, drop, wheel,...
Thanks again. Nice to see a bit of rail and a spreader peaking out the back.
Yeah, I sort of like them as they remind me of some I fabbed for a Model A pickup a few years ago, but not sure if they are a little too "modern"...
I sold my really nice dropped '32 heavy that I bought from 296 v8 during one of my "do I really need all this shit" phases, but then was offered...
That's a great looking Roadster, AeroCraftsman. Any more pics of it to show us?
This might help - I have to convert a later rear end to go in a '32 frame so made some notes comparing the major dimensions. These are precision...
That is some great work. Thanks for the construction shots.
Cool - literally! :) Thanks.
As said, beautifully simple, yet detailed, car. What are the spark plug caps?
Perhaps 15 x 8 rear and 15 x 5 or 6 front would look more '60s gasser style?
Yeah, a great read, thanks, an eye-opener. You normally think of FX as growing out of the gasser classes, with all the hype around them these days.
I'm wondering if the 'smile' in a Superbell tube allows a small amount of twist to occur? I would always agree that an I-beam works best with...
