Marcia: I've got an A axle and spring and a late 30's split wishbone. I picked up a '55 Chevy rear end a couple of weeks ago that I think I'll...
I've got enough parts collected to start on a Model A PU build this winter. Since this is Maine though, I need to overhaul the engine and...
Bah! Stretch the doors, lay the B pillar forward, reshape the back side windows. If you're going to take on that kind of a job, jump in with...
very interesting. Do the rust neutralizers typically get down into those "roots", or is that something only a caustic bath takes care of?
There has got to be something chemically going on with severely oxidized metal that contributes to the brittleness.
Like I mentioned, I've been working the tin back into shape. So far it's moving where I want it to, but I can feel it harden up in places. I'll...
I've got some panels I picked up a few weeks ago that have spent years and years outside. The paint is long gone and they've become pitted and...
Way back in the 80's a friend on mine bought a dodge PU with a 383 super cheap. He managed to get the motor to run on a couple of cylinders but it...
Wow! Was the glass work documented someplace?
pics please, Don.
The stock axle I have is 58 inches and from what I've read the 55-57 axle is 60 inches. I plan on running 16" narrow steel wheels. Will the extra...
That's not bad. Sort of the Chevy Avalanche of it time. The stock tailgate doesn't really work though. I wonder how a unibody CC A pick up would...
I just picked up what I think is a '30 Murray bodied Fordor that had the back half cut off years ago. The original work looks old enough to be...
I'd suggest all the freaky weird sex you can stomach. Hell, you can even bring you new bride along if she's into that sort of thing.
So Old Bone is named Brett? I used to think my name (Brett) was very unique but in the last 10 years or so I've run across a ton of people using...
What I "Need" is a 50-52 ford 8N tractor with a back blade. A mechanically sound working tractor is what I'm searching for. Of course my wife...
Sadly no. Monday was an 18 hour day running to southwest NH to pick up a 30 model A and I'm flat out busy for the rest of the week.
I'm planning on running a rear end with a third member. Most likely an 8" or 9" Ford, but I'd go with a late 50's Chevy or even an 8 3/4" Chrysler...
You could just toss a blue tarp over them and she'll never notice. Tell her and the neighbors it's a wood pile.
Thanks Dave, that hit the spot.
Buggery doesn't come cheap my friend, I can't just hand it out like candy on Halloween.
I've assembled a bunch of tin that'll be tweaked, bent, burned and assembled into a car. I don't know what the door came off of. No mystery, no...
They're just a set of later 7 fin covers. I have a tig welder and I can toss them in the oven to bake out the oil in the castings. I just figured...
year would be 30/31.
I'm looking at some new door skins (the bottom 5 or so inches) and they are listed as pairs for a pickup, tudor and coupe. So I'm assuming they...
Whats the difference in width between the CC truck, two door and four door cars? Thanks.
I ran into the rest of AA he pulled the cab off of, wishing I made it there before him. I made out well enough today. I am going to stop by the...
I have a pair and one has a crack in it. Are these a straight die cast aluminum, or some alloy with zinc in it?
I'm back. The pickings were thin, at least for what I wanted but I did manage to find a pretty nice drivers side 30/31 ford front door, the top...
so what are fair prices? or more to the point, how much cash should I bring? I'm going to be looking for some A sheet metal, a PU bed maybe some...
