Ken and Alchemy: By George, you're right. Can't imagine how I overlooked that! Back to the drawing board, I guess! Will drop the upper front...
Here is my configuration on a 1930 AV8 conversion. Rear radius rods were strengthened by slotting the underside and welding in 3/16" strap from...
I'm reassembling the Lockheed brakes (on an AV8) and encountering a dickens of a time getting the bottom of the shoes aligned with the backing...
Not sure what measurements you're referring to. Can you be more specific?
For spreading reverse eye springs, I used a variation of winduptoys approach, i.e. run-of-the-mill exhaust pipe clamps (1-3/4" for the front,...
Definitely a 239 c.i. , 1939 Mercury "keystone" block similar to mine. Mine was an ex-military truck engine (with the combustion chamber...
Check out Red's Headers. I think they have what you need.
Fiddled with the paper clips for 45 minutes without success... then resorted to the drill. She's open now! Thanks for the advice guys!
Came home yesterday from a week out of town and went to the garage to catch up on some projects. Found the cabinet lock on the (locked) tool chest...
Thanks for the advice! I'll play around with it as you suggest.
Can you please elaborate a little on what you mean when you say "give it a slight push in the coupler on the tool"? Thanks!
I'd recommend, given the grunge evident in the coolant passages, that the system could use a serious flushing! ;-)
Sealed in plastic. I haven't opened them yet.
Any advice on how best to store a new set of brake master and wheel cylinders to prevent internal corrosion. It may be a year or two before I...
"For whatever reason, I didn't take a picture of the fixture I'm making to drill the 1940 Ford backing plates. I plan to continue working on that...
[ATTACH] Robbed the back and seat portions from two offices chairs (on sale) and fabricated frames to mount them. Comfy & inexpensive.
Checkout these guys and their Old Yankee Speed AV8 bits (clutch & brake pedal bracket, wishbone bracket and transmission mount). I've ordered a...
Have you tried Crappy Tire? ;-) They say this TDH stuff complies with API GL-4:...
wagoon78: What exhaust manifolds are you running? I like how they clear the steering gear!
Blue!
That is one of the best build videos I've seen in a while. Doesn't surprise me though, with Keith Dorton behind it! I think that ticking noise is...
Look on the block just forward of the right (passenger side) cylinder head.
48fordnut: What transmission crossmember is that by the way?
Looking good 'dsiddons'. Do you have some closeup pics of the transmission mount/ K-member?
I understand completely Aaron and you are quite right to do a quality job after all your effort to this point. My suggestion was made half in jest...
Having watched your build from the beginning Aaron, I have to say it's easily one of the best out there for anyone with a notion to do something...
The 4 bulges...[ATTACH]
If you look at the 4th picture in your original post, where the number is seen from a different angle, it does appear to read 69A. Hard to say...
If the number on the block I referred to above is "19A" it indicates a 1941 Mercury block (95HP). If it's "69A" it indicates a '46 Ford (100 HP).
Correction: '38 - '40 (Have a look at Mac VanPelt's website for more detail)
Separate names with a comma.
