Popped off the speedster for a visitor today. The ol' Akron-Hed sure sounds snappy with the choke pulled in a bit;)
Wicked kool! Not very often you get to see a complete Miller Master carburetor, much less 3!
My dad built a stick and cloth T boat tail speedster back in the early ‘90s. Don’t recall the “weight” of the fabric, but was no thicker than...
Try a FL300A. Sumpin like early 90’s Taurus/Tempo had a little stubby filter with same thread size
Gonna have to decide what car to put this New Winfield S-C on…?:D [ATTACH]
I helped with a ‘55 Lincoln Premier convertible restoration years ago. It had a similar dimmer, not sure how early these were offered…?
This time with Riley carbs! Thanks for posting!
This pic posted by @carbking on another thread seemingly shows yet another variation of color on these carbs. Look to be black and shiny! Choke...
Beautiful engine! Interesting pic of the SR Winfields. I have been investigating the original color of these carbs lately and have found a...
Confession… I did! Turned out way better than my pops old fashioned tooling too. My machine is basically new, and cutting within about .0003” of...
Check out VCI treated paper or stretch wrap. Parts will sit for a couple years and still look good as new. No oil, grease, dust, or residue!
Today’s “boring” project was cutting these rod bearings. Full length A rods going in a pressurized T engine with A crank [ATTACH]
Here! But working too much…! Playing with cars when I can
Thanks for the pics fellas! Starting to think there were several generations of plating. I went back thru my stash and found that I have 1 kinda...
‘28 Chebby has a square profile radiator shell. Maybe it’s the camera angle or the lighting, but the OP shell sure looks a lot sleeker than a...
Those are Buffalo wire wheels, look to be 20” or possibly 21” lock ring rims with wing type caps. Carb is definitely Winfield, most likely Model...
Vinegar and salt will produce a green patina, primarily used for artsy fartsy stuff. I wish pics would show my results better, it’s almost like...
Couldn’t agree with you more! My thoughts of dulling the finish would de to simply remove some of the luster and sparkle, not match the oxidized...
After a short stint at the plating shop, I now have most of a new carb copper plated. Now, before anyone blows me up about what color they...
Saw this twin T in a video on another HAMB thread, think the event was in the UK [ATTACH]
Been at it all day, and just finished a 24” lock ring for a set of wheels I’m currently rebuilding. All I needed was a 1000 lb steel plate, a...
Doesn’t get any kooler than this…!:cool: [ATTACH]
Starting up a new batch of Winfield S-B throttle barrels:cool: [ATTACH]
Once upon a time I recieved a freebie gas cap… not long after I built an aluminum body and fuel tank underneath it. Several years later an...
If those wheels are 25” rim, that would make this a ‘23-‘24 Nash (motor, radiator, firewall, and cowl look correct to me). Nash offered 3 touring...
Might be more cost effective to find a replacement motor. Almost all phase converters and VFD’s will be 1:1 voltage output, and would need to be...
Wicked kool! But curious why the carb mounts on the blower were cast backwards? Prototype…?
Right hand drive and 10 spoke front wheels suggest Cadillac. 1912ish
It’s dual diaphragm because it’s small diameter. Expect similar performance as the more typical large diameter options
Model T with Simplex brand wire wheels and 30” x 3-1/2” clinchers. Note that these tires predate the “consolidation” of tire sizes, so are truly...
