Bump
@The37Kid It's not a cool old barn. More of a 70s shed. It was 72' long though and full of stuff.
Just thought I'd post and say this project hasn't died. This summer has just been a complete loss as I'm tearing down a barn in preparation for...
Friday bump
bump.
This drag link is in very nice shape. This will probably fit 35-41 Fords but I believe it is specifically 35-36 68-3306 since it's straight vs...

Tony is pretty active still on one of the olds Facebook groups. I've had limited dealings with him. Some guys swear by him and some at him. Still...
I'm still a ways off from a body but I'm getting close to having a driving chassis. Yesterday I got the tabs welded on the cross member and made...
Finally had a chance to drop a 4th plumb bob to the water pump. Engine is really straight to the car centerline. I'm pretty amazed how close...

I wonder if one of the variations of Model T torque tube was 2.3". It seems like some of the real early midgets used cut down T axles. Maybe...
Thanks Dave. I have a couple old racing balls that measure right around 2.310". Curious what your ball measures. OEM Chevy balls were typically...
yep and modern midget ones are still 2.3". Now maybe they were taking schd 80 pipe and turning the OD but theyre definitely not 2.375 Here's a...
Does anyone know what tubing was used for the steel 2.3" racing tubes? It seems like such an odd size. I'd assume they ran some sort of better...
I've been curious how aligned the drivetrain is on this car. Before I weld the rear spring perch in I decided to check. The only way I could think...
Also for anyone questioning, I bought some of his small stickers. Don't worry about doing paypal f&f. He's a legit stand up guy.
I asked this on Instagram too so you can disregard there, were the original stickers printed on a foil type sticker or water slide? What material...
I'm gonna post this here again just for peoples future reference. These are modern numbers I figured out when doing a few sets of original...
Personally I wouldn't waste my time with places like Kanter. Most of this brake stuff is still available from places like Rock Auto/local parts...
Adjuster wise here is info that you will have a hard time coming up with so you might want to write this down. These are Carlson numbers. With new...
Here's what I think is going on. There is basically two distinct variations of Bendix style shoes. Regardless of width or diameter GM (Buick,...
Isn't that interesting? The other day there was a thread asking for updated Lincoln brake part numbers. I spent probably an hour writing a post...
The original was functional but really sketchy as far as anything to fasten the seats to or for seat belt attachment points. In the end I guess I...

I scrapped the x member idea because I realized that if I did it I was committed to either running only the 39 tran and/or pulling the trans out...
I got the rear tube fitted. Decided to put a bend in it for diff clearance. It's pretty much the same as the original under the bellhousing....
Today I removed the original floor framework. It was just 3/4 angle iron and will be replaced with tubes. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Here is a thread with pics of modifying my Bolling Bro drums to fit 41 lincolns w/ splash ring....
For front wheel cylinders there are tons of options but I'd go bigger than the 1" originals. For fronts you might just have to watch what size the...
