Here are some more pix. I made bridge pieces for each side to strengthen the sub rails and new pieces for a flat floor. Those pieces are bent up...
I'm trying to teach myself HAMB. I had a nearby friend who knew this stuff inside and out but he died before I could get him to teach me....

It's been over 60 years since I bought an adaptor, dropped axle and a set of Hearst motor mounts to put a SBC into a '34 Cabriolet that my older...
I'm building an A with a SBC and I opted for the ZIP'S water pump option. Some how I wound up with correct pulleys. Cools very nicely. Problem I'm...
It's been ages since I've been here but I have been busy.[ATTACH]
I posted some other pix on Early V8 Forum on FordBarn... http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144944
First time posting on the new HAMB, so I'm feeling my way. I'm trying to show an out of focus picture of the side of the '32 mount, showing the...
I went looking for the '86 F150 drums on Rock Auto and there were several listed. The ones that they have from Centric have small drawings in the...
I seem to recall that the '57 Cadillacs with the Dodge Lancer spinners bolted on were the ultimate in wheel covers. Usually, they were only on the...
Thanks guys! Good options here and lots to consider. Now, just gotta see how much cash is left after Hershey!
What are people having good experiences in the way of electric fans (SBC in '32 with aluminum radiator) and turn signal kits? Any to stay away...
Thanks guys! I had always thought of doing a harness on my own, but getting terminals right and all of that?? Un uh. I'll have to spend.
I'm coming up on doing my first wiring job. '32 with SBC, early Ford trans, banjo rear, steering. No AC, no fancy column. I just looked at Rebel's...
Thanks gentlemen!! I realize I gotta get me a new gooseneck. Shoulda' posted these pix with my question...
Putting a SBC in a '32 with an aftermarket radiator (Speedway.) I'm sure someone's gotta have good numbers for upper and lower radiator hoses!!...
Has anyone ever drilled a small hole in a gas shock to get the gas out and then MIG welded the hole closed? Where to drill? How should the shock...
It's my understanding that blasting dead on perpendicular is similar to hammering the metal due to the impact of the medial and that you'd be...
I think I found the answer to my questions in Deuce Roadster's original post with the picture of the Wilcap set up. The starter shown is a "mini...
Got it! Thanks!
I can get from the front page of FordBarn to Jalopy Journal, but is there a link from JJ to FB? Or am I missing something? Thanks!!
"Every now and then, something that's not up to their rigid quality standards slips through. You must be the only one who got a bad part." I'm...
Thanks Deuce Roadster! Hmmmm.... So, it looks like buying the Wilcap adapter on its own wasn't the best idea. I have an early V8 starter (and an...
I'm putting an SBC into an early Ford with a '39 trans and an older Wilcap adapter. The engine came out of a truck and it had a 168 tooth flywheel...
I got a 350 out of a truck with a big flywheel and 12" clutch. The starter bolts to the block and has "straight" bolt holes. I'm bolting it to an...
Thanks guys- I also posted on FordBarn Early V8. Turns out that there was a previous posting by Chris that looks best to me. Here's the link to...
How many ways are there to mount a Model A spring on a '40 rear (directly over the axle centerline?) I've seen Tim Ayer's, but I'm not sure that...
'32 steering is located about 4" further back than on a Model 'A.'
Thanks for all the replies! Lotsa good stuff there. I got a little deeper into my actual situation today and turns out it doesn't look too bad....
I like the idea of using '55 manifolds simply 'cause it won't look like a Chebby (not that there's anything wrong with that) and it could be...
