The G Series flathead six was produced from 1941 to 1947. The Madis aluminum head for that engine was built by Madis Engineeting in Bellflower...
I’ve been wondering about the weight of my G Series 6 with the Madis head. So I picked up a digital scale for my hoist and was surprised at the...
I removed and disassembled the brake master cylinder today, and identified it as a Chevy 3/4 ton pickup part with a 1 1/4” bore. The combination...

Chopped the repop ‘32 grille shell today. It came out okay. Still not sure if I’ll go this route or use the original Model T shell.[ATTACH]
Yep. There’s lots to be done. I will probably run new hard lines and relocate the front hoses as you suggest.
First start up going through the original dual exhaust. Much quieter than I expected. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b8BEXWopJ3_AfnwK6gq_9b3w
Temporarily mounted the radiator and used 1 1/4” surplus stainless tubes with 90 degree bends to connect the hoses. The next project will be to...
The engine is stock internally and the intake only has 4 3:4” carb spacing. I'm running the progressive linkage based on advice from Charlie Price...

Fit the bell housing from my old 8BA to the rebuilt EAB and mated it to the Zypher trans. Sounds simple, but it took about six hours. The new...
Finally some progress on the hot rod. I purchased a a stalled project. It’s a 1953 Ford F250 with a professionally rebuilt EAB flathead. I bought...
Here’s mine. Fabricated from scratch like the rest of the body. It took about 3 weeks to get the shape right.[ATTACH]
I didn’t notice that the rust wrap was deleted. It was creative.
Inspiration to get to work on my project. Two owner hot rod built in 1950.[ATTACH]
I’d like to clarify the ALBR. It’s not for ugly cars, just less beautiful ones. As @Sharpone stated, “Not an ugly one posted yet”. I agree. John
please repost the engine test stand on wheels. It’s not a roadster, but man, what character!
I have to say, this one’s got a lot of the bases covered.
I started this thread because “bought” cars don’t mean much to me. My ‘27 boattail speedster started with a Model T frame, an idea, and the desire...
Let’s see it!
The good side looks pretty good to me.
I like it!
Interesting submissions. What looks like an armored outhouse is cool but not a roadster. The other car shown definitely qualifies!
ALBR (America’s Least Beautiful Roadster) I think the AMBR winner this year was an amazing work of art, just not to my taste. So, I'm going in a...

I’d like to keep the 6 volt system on my 8BA. The engine is freshly rebuilt as are the generator and starter. I’m planning on running two 97s and...
It looks like the simplest way to go here is a Y block with the truck bell housing, as this setup used a T98. Again, this is being done because I...
