The sad part is T's are far more expensive to repair than they are worth. 3k would be the limit for me if I was in the market. We always call them...
Looking at the pedals it looks like its still running the original T engine and trans. Is it all stock?
I wonder what the price ranges are? I have a customer with a Triumph engine that's been trying to tune his adapted carbs for years.
Luckily I haven't had anything as bad as some of you guys, just a few pairs of pants and a Chuck Taylor or two. My Uncle had weld slag run into...
If I remember right he claimed it was similar to running with your timing too far advanced. I haven't talked to him in a long time, its been a...
He claims something about holding the charge puts un-needed stress on the bearings and leads to premature failure. I don't know, Im not a doctor....
A buddy of mine (a pro NHRA engine builder) has said he will not install a thumper cam in and engine. Claims its too hard on the bottom end....
Definitely doodlebugs and definitely missing a lot, even for a doodlebug. $200 for the pair wouldn't be bad.
I know Chevy would be different but Buick may be along the same size.
Hahaha that's a good test idea Bruce. Usually I ground the hell out of batteries but this one was previously worked on at one of my competitors...
I tested it along side one of my NOS Ford made condensers and it worked, not as well but it worked. Found 2 major problems in the entire...
Alright, now I'm pulling my hair out. I am working on a T for a customer and it has been converted with a "Texas T" distributor drive which uses...
You can get old style bias racing tires that would be close to the same size and would still handle well.
So far I have my seat/gas tank, frame rails, and front suspension. Working on obtaining all my drivetrain now.
Will vendors actually stick around for Saturday or does everyone bail out on Friday like Carlisle and Hershey?
Better late than never, right?
11" wide mags for my OT first car.
I know of a guy with an f3 steering box in his Model A, works great.
I know the trans in my 53 leaks but still works and its for the same price he's now asking. Plus my car runs and drives. I got mine for 2k without...
That's it.
I have nothing to base this off of but a hunch, factory Cadillac dual quad? I know they had them and from one of my customers 8 year search for...
Engine, radiator, steering box, anything the guy will let you take. Im doing the same thing on an f6. I think the axles are 8 lug on the F3 and...
I'd love to get one of these for my kids but good lord, for the price of some of them I might as well just buy them a real T!
I think I just threw up a little.
Personally I would never pull a flathead and replace it with a SBC. That's just my feeling. If the flatheads bad I would fix it or build another...
Wow, this thread got steered in a different direction. I did my own research and found the heat wrap materials date back to the 1800s in...
I cant see leading aluminum turning out too well. Maybe weld on some more aluminum and grind it back down.
Loss of pressure isn't gonna matter much in this scenario. The entire fuel system is about 3ft long.
We just put one on my buddies 35. Its tucked inside the frame rail about 3ft in front of the tank. Works great.
Haha, I had no idea we had NASA employees here!
