Thanks for putting together a great tech piece on the steering boxes, Neal. Your work is impeccable and at a standard that we all should aspire...
Ooh looking forward to the next step. This is a great thread to follow. Having to work with no noise must be a pain though. Mart.
No bells ringing here for me.
Definitely use the tubes to stretch the tyres. I had a problem seating some tyres lately and had to find a tyre place with one of those air blast...
They shouldn't be tight. Give each one a few raps straight on the head with a hammer or hammer and punch. Get your new socket and try and tighten...
I have a built big T. I was a teenager and a local model shop acquired one. He thought "I wonder who would buy this?" and offered it to me. It...
Does minder =less? All frames should be the same. Looking at the dimensions the height at the top of the rails near the front crossmember should...
Not bad for a dead tree botherer. Great work team. Mart.
I wouldn't go smaller than a 5.50 on the front. Smaller than that it can look a bit too skinny. Full fendered car like the 32 looks good on what...
Thanks for bumping this older thread. I must have missed it first time around. Fantastic story. Loved the link posted a couple of post up from...
I am not a fan but if you squint a bit and mentally delete all the gold stuff and the tires, the actual body shape is pretty cool. In a similar...
Chatting to people at Pendine it would seem those in the know prefer a 7.00. Wider tread and not a truck tyre. 7.50s were traditionally a truck...
Fwiw old steering shafts are a great source of heavy wall tubing. Some tie rods too.
Thanks for all the comments fellas. And a cheeky bump for the Sunday night crowd.
Team Mart take to the beach in the 32 sedan. Headphones recommended. [MEDIA]
"You'll have to speak up, officer, I can't hear you over these exhausts. They're very loud".
Well done Lads. It was a pleasure to come second in class behind such a cool car.
I'm still here. Turned 67 last month.
Yes 1939 ford V8 85hp 18-4,661,001 to 18-5,210,700 Serial numbers are available on Mac Van Pelt's site. Very useful....
The catastrophic failure seemed to be the chain around the engine letting go. The hook is still in mid air. The lower chain probably broke or...
They're 5 on 10-1/4"
Very sad news, Peggy, our condolences and best regards are with you. Mart.
Excellent progress. It's a lot of very difficult work. The parts you have are making it more difficult, (tapered tube, Lincoln UJ) but you have to...
Beautiful job, Mark. It takes guts to cut up what appears to be a pretty smart car. Will follow with interest.
Well done Gav and the lads. A great write up. So good to see Ken Cooper out and about again.
Instead of asking you should investigate. Put the wheel on loosely and rotate it. Slowly but evenly tighten the lug nits until you start to feel...
Wow. Excellent work on the cowl vent.
39 pedals can be made to fit but it is very messy and the frame can be severely weakened. My 33 coupe had this done to it and it is on my to do...
Thanks Mr Biscuit. Getting there slowly. Some new ones are up! Part 12: [MEDIA] Part 13: [MEDIA] Part 14: [MEDIA] Thanks for watching! Mart.
Great story and pics, Marty.
