We use a style that has the same principal on hydraulic systems. The filters are designed to be kidney loop filters ONLY! They can not handle a...
[attach] There we go. So, I was going to cut it just above the door hinge pocket instead of at the top of the picture. I can make a dolly to fit...
Hi All, Well, I'm going to cut the body up on the 39 but, I'm not sure where to start. I'm replacing the firewall, lower cowls (inner and outer)...
OK, here's an update. I hope I can finally add some knowledge to this site. The pins came out of the practice hood pretty well after soaking. The...
You know sometimes I feel so dumb for asking for help before thinking stuff through. I just used a BIGGER hammer to get it going then I bent the...
I have soaked it and tried the punch but it's still not moving. The only direction I can push it is towards the front because of the curve of the...
Hi All, How do you get the original hinge pin out of the two piece 1930's hoods? Thanks Paul
Welcome from the warm and DRY northwest!! ;)
WOW!!! That's nice!!
OK, I've made some dollies to get behind the weld and hammered most of the crease out. I still have about a 3" spot that is pulled in. It has been...
Thanks, I didn't want to make any extra work. No rust on the frame.
Hi All, Just bought and installed a 2 post lift and I was wondering if the 39 frame is strong enough to leave the car on the lift for days at a...
So if I bent a piece of 1/2" x 3" flat bar for a dolly and found a way to get it in there do you think it would have enough mass to hammer the...
I've come to the conclusion that I suck at body work so this car is going to have some plastic in it. My hats' off to you guys that do this stuff...
I'm using a tig with 75-25 mix, if that helps.
I can't figure out how to post pic's, the file is too big even though it's only one picture. Any help on posting pic's would be greatly appreciated.
Hi All, Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Well, I cut the lower door panel out and tacked the new piece in. In my haste I cut the panel too...
We used to call anything less than a full panel (i.e. full door skin, full quater skin) a cheater panel or patch panel.
Well, I cut the new panel apart and it fit like crap. The bends were in the wrong place and the radius wasn't even close. So I grabbed a piece of...
Ok, change of plans, i'm not going to replace the whole inner frame. I only have a section about 6" long by 4" tall right over the forward inner...
Thanks for the info so far. The inner frame does not have as much of a curve from front to back as the existing door does I've tried to tweak it a...
Hi All, I'm tackling my doors and need some help AGAIN. Do you install the inner panel first or do you start with the outer door skin first? I'm...
BTW, HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING!! Paul
Thanks, I didn't think it would matter. It looks like the 45 double might be a stronger flare for the vibration but I plan on clamping them down...
Hi All, What's the difference if I use 37 degree flares on my brake lines instead of the 45 degree. I own a hydraulic shop and we use the 37...
Thanks all
There we go, I wasn't using a prefix.
Hi All, I've been trying to post this thread but it doesn't seem to go through. I've decided to put a hydro boost brake booster on my '39, but i...
Thanks for the info! I'm planning on running a mild 383 stroker. I want the car to be dependable when i take the better half out. Paul
