A bit of advice to folks using the Speedway T-5 trans adaptor. Cut an inspection window in the same area that Ford had on the original 3-speed. It...
$3.45 in ND for non corn premium.
32Phil will have what you need. Great guy to deal with.
FYI the small nails that Ford used to attach the metal to the wood have "serrations" along the length to keep the nails from working loose--they...
I use "purple power" from Walmart, about 50/50 water solution. Works well.
I blocked off both sides on my 276" merc, I think it eliminates vapor lock. At least I've never had any.
When reality bites him in the ass he will lower the price to something more reasonable, just might take awhile.
Outstanding work Sir!
Drake's inner fender panels are not available right now, who knows if they ever will be.
That guy looks just like "Joe Dirt" if you've ever seen the movie.
That is some very impressive work!
I would never attempt that kind of work with the body still on the frame. But that's just me.
In the early 80's I parted out a few '32 Ford sedans, was selling complete sets of window garnish moldings for $125 & was happy to get it. Oh, well.
A rochester 2G small base carb will bolt on to the mercury intake, run it backwards and the fuel inlet is right where the merc fuel pump is. They...
Bob Drake reproduction bumper guards, new in the box. Price includes shipping by priority mail.
Great, thank you. Simple and effective.
Would you show the brackets you built to allow the '32 chevy hood latch to operate. Thanks so much for the build thread!
Cut that cracked piece out and weld in a new piece of steel, then drill the hole for the box. You don't want to try welding all those cracks!
I parted out a '39 4-door, it had the removable center piece. All the coupes (39 & 40) I've had used the one piece rear molding. I'm no expert.
Please leave the fenders in place, removing them would completely change the direction of what you are doing with the car. IMO.
I just went thru this: the std. car nose piece will fit the truck hood but the commercial nose piece is just a little bit longer where the hood...
Used to use Omni paint, switched to Nason--still economy paint but an improvement in my opinion.
After having done several, I have found that it can be a combination of several things, the most important being the hinges at the cowl and the...
Try that in a small town.
Might be a 40 pick-up. Look at the P/N inside, will start with 01C for pick up. That latch handle sure looks like a truck version to me, they are...
The spring loaded pin is the column lock. It fits into a sleeve on the steering shaft when the key is in the off position.
I didn't want the wire type trim clips to chip the paint around the stainless trim holes on my '39 convertible--and cause rust to start. I made...
I am having the same issue with the hood latch on my '40 Pick-Up. I have the std. passenger car latching hardware, but the connecting bar from...
Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know.
Need some advice, getting ready to install the hood on my '40 truck and can't decide if the hinges should be mounted on the cowl first and then...
