what’s the story? Inquiring minds want to know.
When I was a wee lad I had a 51 Tudor that did the same thing. It ran great but I kept getting the milkshake. Pulled heads, all looked great....
At least Steve looks healthier- Chevy not so much
I think member @Nads had one years ago
I have a forbidden M word that does this. If it sits for 2-3 weeks it’s a bear to start. I pretty much just make sure I run it every weekend ish...
im trying to imagine how you did this. Post a picture?
Maybe wash it with dish soap?
Car looks great. Enjoy it.
I’m enjoying this thread a lot. My uncle ordered a red 84 new back in the day. It was a cool car, and I thought it was really fast, still is in my...
It depends on the Maaco. I think they are franchises. I had them paint an OT truck my kid totaled (was nice before the accident) that I couldn’t...
I think it’s already gone.
[ATTACH] Anybody want a 42 ford quadraport project or parts car? I bought this some years ago, mostly just because it is a 42. I have most of the...
Welcome. There’s a lot of good info and people here.
Good work and good job sticking with it.

I concur. Sleeve it.
Great job on the seat and the door panel

The wood dash doesn’t bug me all that much. I’d change the column/wheel and wheels and roll for the immediate future.
I’m only 6’0 and 200ish, but even a 48 f-1 is tight on leg room with a stock seat.
As in none were factory made
Get it running and moving and then make plans. My 2 cents
I knew about the engineer thing but what a pain. Safer I guess but an enormous hassle.
Cool car, and great job bringing it back. I think your plan of getting it back together in running condition is wise. I wouldn’t worry too much...
I think I’d look for a running and driving model A resto that is showing its age in your choice of body style, bearing in mind that some 4 doors...
Rub and run. Get it running and have fun. Nice paint is overrated. Not worrying about little scratches and dings is great.
Great thread and cool car. I wasn’t familiar with them before this. Reminds me a little of a falcon.
