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...

Someone with a lathe could make you some shouldered bushes that would press in and allow the tapered tie rod end to be snugged up. I had to do...
Thanks Fellas. Part 11 out now! [MEDIA]
Do you think the fuel level when you filled the bowl would be higher than when in normal use with a float in place? Fuel dripping from those...
Thanks fellas. Here are the links to the newest uploads. Part 7: [MEDIA] Part 8: [MEDIA] Part 9: [MEDIA] Part 10: [MEDIA]
Ha ha nice pic of the Pinto. I can see what they did there.
Re the inner race. The heat has probably softened the bearing material so it will not crack like a bearing normally does when first grooved with a...
When you engage the clutch in reverse, does it pull the engine down as if the trans is locked or does it just feel like there is no drive like in...
Excellent work, Aulis, Great catch on that clutch pivot.
Really sorry to hear this. Best wishes to him and all the family.
Would it be possible to turn a second groove in the hex section? Easy job on a lathe. The hex looks long enough. Might need a spacer for the clip.
It's all coming together well.
