Sheesh! Hope your place has appropriate precautions in place! Stay safe, friend.

Quick update: Still Effin’ Raining Creek is mostly in its banks, but we’re living a soggy existence here. :rolleyes:
No. August. But the workshop hasn’t recovered in all these months. Thanks for the offer though, friend.
Possibly. I just need a free day to reorganize. Everything was out because of the water and I ran out of time before I had to go back to work so...
New fluid in the transmission and rear. Buttoned up the tranny and rolled it to a new spot in the yard. [ATTACH] Also… look at that lovely...
This shop was underwater. It’s all clutter. I just frame the photos so people think I know what I’m doing. :p
Found a hole… [ATTACH]
Gettin’ somewhere… [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It’s heavy. I may have hurt myself… Gotta dig a hole in the tiny shop and then we can try for better Winfield adapters. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This thread might affect the like-minded that way. :p
And a prewar coil. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some more bits and bobs for the Winfields courtesy of Kevin. [ATTACH]
$5 650-16s for the rear. [ATTACH]
Ok… I have a plan for the front doors. I’m not sure how much I want to divulge because of… well… shame. Let’s see how it goes first. o_O
We’re going to spackle it and move on for now. School ends Tuesday and Spence will have more emotional equity to spend on enjoyable things. This...
Oof. [ATTACH]
Good assessment, Rod @RodStRace. The car is basically in “appropriate” shape for 1937. It’s been repainted a LOT over its years. Except for the...
Put the Sawzall away. Got it. :p I have them “pretty good”. There just isn’t much else to be done with what’s left of these.
I need to decide on what is good enough for these front doors. This would be an eight year old car in the period, but the doors I’m working with...
Getting closer… [MEDIA]
Hours of work… so many setbacks. I’ll spare most of the details. I’m really struggling with the front door alignment and as I tweak things, the...
Cleaned up and everything checked. Ready for new gaskets. [ATTACH]
Maybe I’ll drill the heads of those grub screws and safety wire them together and really confuse people… :p
My cheap drill press quit… so no making another adapter for the foreseeable future. :mad:
Ha. Hardware store. The big hole in the water jacket top was/is for a temperature sender. That came from the plumbing section. The ones on the...
Getting the “extra” holes in the Winfield head plugged. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And making a mess of one of my adapters trying to make it...
Long weekend… improving weather. Maybe we get the body shimmed, bolted, prepped, and painted. Maybe… Went through this and it’s a complete carb...
Ha. I’ve been in touch with Kevin. :D
I need a few things for the second carb if anyone out there is hoarding Winfield stuff … :p
