Looks like she's back posting on his Instagram page, based on the MLA signature. Another drama filled post, par for the course.
Hot diggity damn, now we're talking!
It's missing the I in IHC, though. I'm not seeing it. Looks like normal steering arms to me. ... I'm now leaning more towards Chevy, but not...
I cleaned out a guy's barn recently and have these two mystery parts that I'm hoping someone could identify. He was into Model Ts and tri-five...
Before you know it, someone might even suggest driving a 45+ year old car!
I do know that, but from what I can tell, the truck radiator is simply taller than the car/pickup radiator by maybe 4". I'm curious if it will fit...
Radiator question: I'm piecing together a 41 pickup and am looking at a radiator that measures 29" tall. Based on my research, that's for the...
That's what I'm thinking, too. I don't have any history on this block, and most of the parts that came in the pile are unrelated Model T stuff, so...
If the gap double- checks at 0.005 at the machine shop, I'll have to punch it up to 0.100 over. That would be a shame, but I don't want to damage...
There's a chamfer on the edge of the piston.. so measuring from the top edge of the chamfer (before the dome) to wrist pin center is right about...
Pistons measure: 3.255 across the top of the piston (I should have known better). 3.265 on the skirt just under the wrist pin 3.275 on the skirt...
The measurement I quoted above was across the top of the piston. I also measured the skirt and it was something like 0.010 larger. I'll have to...
Howdy, I have a barn find 41 Mercury block in the machine shop and after a parts wash, it looks like it was freshly bored, covered in grease, and...
Fellow SoCal guys talking about In-N-Out... there's a cruise night every Thursday at the In-N-Out in Torrance on Hawthorne Blvd. It's getting...
1928-1929 radiator cross-member mounts are about 1/4" higher than 1930-1931. So, early body/radiator on a later frame is easier than the other way...
Man, I can just about see that intersection out my window. Of course, haven't seen an ounce of racing on that stretch, and maybe for good measure....
It's interesting that is full-fendered but has no splash aprons. I wonder why.
Private message incoming..
No wife, happy life.
Model A wishbones have low mounting for the ball joint. When you split then, you have to mount them about 4" below the frame to stay in the range...
I feel attacked! My '29 pickup was yard art out in front of a farm in Illinois for decades. I had to save it. It'll be driving this year.
Jiminy Christmas, I had no idea it was so big. I'm a fool for skipping it. Next year..
Argh! This makes my blood boil. Never get married.
Which books? I've always seen 30W. Early A's only. It was obsolete by Spet '28.
The Automobile Driving Museum in El Segundo, CA seems to meet your requirements.
What's with the pity party? It's not a crime to own these projects. You'll get to them when you get to them. If anyone would understand, I'd...
It's my patented three-step process: 1) Get free body. 2) Slap on some more free parts. 3) Give to me. Hell, I'll come get it. I'm not too proud...
No wife. Happy life. No begging permission or forgiveness or sneaking around or drama. I can spend however I please on whatever I please.
I wish that was the case on fordbarn. I've never been more scammed by more people in the classifieds in any of my other hobbies than I have simply...
Now imagine those people who say, "I don't know what I'd do in retirement.. I'd get bored! Probably go back to the office!" Ha.. ha.. I have...
