I’m running Diamond back Auburns on my model A. Balanced easily and seem to run true.[ATTACH]
So here is the car I wanted when I was 10 (1964) and finally built and finished in 2023! Everything available in 1964 except the overdrive...
Here it is on my rotisserie [ATTACH]
Painted my coupe in my driveway after doing all the bodywork there. I think it came out pretty good. It’s lacquer .
Well now it’s a hot rod. I’ve been driving it all over. Have maybe 400 miles on it. Love the overdrive turning 1500 rpm at 60 mph. Yblocks are...
I have multiple cars as do many others and they all serve different purposes. My daily (2021 vette convertible) is my long distance and bad...
It is like the bracket on my 57 T’bird. Doubt Ford did a lot of different ones. T’bird suppliers will have them.
[ATTACH] Here’s mine.
In my car I put a separate power window switch hidden in the trunk which had a mechanical latch and the car battery. If the solenoids failed I...
Have always called them Teapots. Ran 2 for 40 years on my T’bird never had trouble. Rebuilt them the first time at age 16. Given today’s...
So some progress has been made. Took a short drive down my street yesterday, some popping and spitting but otherwise made it up and back. Tuning...
Also had to reverse the firewall on the 1930 to buy some space. It’s tight but I’m not in the camp against moving the radiator forward and down...
The mounts you are using from the T’bird require side steady rests. If not the engine and trans wit torque to the side. In the T’bird there are...
I just finished wiring my Coupe. I used a new American Autowire builders kit. It had nice wire,good terminal ends but the instructions were a...
Have been in love with the Ford Y block since I first saw the T’bird valve covers as a kid! Had to put one in my Coupe.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Ever so slowly coming together.[ATTACH]
Thought I’d give you another look[ATTACH]
Progress is being made slowly. I’m liking [ATTACH] the look!
I put double. Filaments in both sockets wired the brights to brakes and the lowers to running lights on the rounds and the signals to the near...
TCP FIRE RED METALIC acrylic lacquer. Might be a little to. Red door you but lights up the lines on the Model A. And is great in the sunlight.
Yes I have read all of the threads on why not to do cowl steering but I have always wanted to have it. If it doesn’t drive well enough I’ll pull...
My cowl steering is setup to be power so I thought I’d just go with it.
This was a 22 second clip but don’t know how to post. Came as just a picture? Oh well still looks good to me and sounds great.
ITS ALIVE
I put a switch in the trunk to open the passenger’s window and a hidden manual trunk release cable. Drove my Avatar for 9 years as my daily and...
I have been reading about the inflatable paint booths that you can put up in the driveway. Given the outrageous cost of paint these days a few...
Also coarse spine (13) input shaft. They would make what you wanted to drop in replace.
You are getting erroneous information here. I know because I bought a brand new borg Warner super T 10 in 1975. It is a special wide with a 2.64...
This is mine, been a Y block guy since my mid teens so here it is happening now![ATTACH]
