I have a pair of Model A front fenders that need to go from west Tennessee to So Cal.
The spacing on the 605 is the same as the 800 and the 525 which is 2 13/16 on the two lower holes and 4 7/16 between the lower and the upper holes.
Lucky Laura. My Laura hasn't seen her new toy in person yet, soon though.
I just renewed my sub, wasn't sure where I stood so I just upped it so I don't miss any. RJ is the BEST print magazine period. I met Steve at the...
I've redrilled several sets of Ford 8" and 9" axles over the years. I just weld a plug into the access hole. The flange area on a Ford axle is not...
You're doing a great job. Are you sure you aren't an upholsterer?
Too much pain meds Bill. The top of the shock is bolted to the frame and the bottom is on the rearend. As long as there is compression of the...
If that works, make sure to check the pinion angle again.
In reality, if the kit is designed and made correctly, you should not have to make wheelbase adjustments. Of course, many early Ford fenders have...
Very nice, its the details that make the difference between and nice car and an exceptional one.
The problem with CE rear kits has always been their problem. You HAD to use blocks to get them to sit right and they had a reverse arch after they...
Bill has transported 4 cars here for both customers and myself. Always great dealing with him and getting to visit for a few minutes. He always...
You have a beautiful 40 there. You can be very proud of that car.
Obviously, I like yellow cars, depending on the yellow and the car. Painted a 33 coupe a pale yellow from a Cadillac, was horrible. I agree,...
You have really improved the looks of that sedan. You should really consider bringing it to Middle Tennessee next May for Model 40 Mayhem.
That is beautiful.
If the rear is too stiff, try removing the shocks and drive it, this will tell if the shocks or springs are too stiff (my guess is the springs)....
Contact Cyclone Kevin, he makes new heads for those engines and may know of a source for the parts.
Havin just finished "fixing" a 39 Deluxe coupe with an axle and SBF, if you insist on using a SBF, do yourself a favor and go to an aftermarket...
That is coming out exceptional!!
ES416 R/L are the numbers for the tie rod ends. They are available from any parts store and Rock Auto. If you have the stock 40 Ford drag link,...
The parts MIGHT be available from Superbell or Wilwood. The bracket is designed for a Wilwood/Hurst Airheart caliper. Over the years, I have been...
Then there's those of us that build them as nice as we can, then drive the crap out of them. Crazy!
Welcome to Middle Tennessee, we are in the flatlands of West TN. After you get settled and you get a wild hair, contact me and come for a visit,...
Try Pete & Jakes or Chassis Engineering
That Sucks! On the bright side though (if there is such a thing in a situation like this) you two are OK. Clarence is repairable. We will keep our...
I agree the you have way too much spring. Also, remove the shocks and drive it to make sure the shocks aren't too stiff or too long.
Thanks rockable
I have the opportunity to acquire a 364 nailhead that I would like to put into a 40 Ford project. I want to hook a TH400 to it but, the adapter...
On those old small blocks, the rule of thumb for timing was advance it until it pings, then back it off two degrees. Those 283's like ignition...
