Very sad. Byron ran one of the truly great early websites that has proven to be a survivor on the modern 'net.
From what I've read, particularly with the smaller ENFO banger, shrouding only limits the engine when you're literally in the top state of tune,...
This whole thing is going to look amazing. You have to join Retro Rides, Mika!
Thought I'd drop in and show my face. Hello again folks! Seeing the links in the first post, I really ought to get around to rehosting the photos...
That new motor of yours looks AMAZING. Like literally brand new. I've got a lot to read at work tomorrow... :D
Wow, a complete rebuild! Glad I tuned in when I did :D Looking good dude, this is my kinda technology!
Brilliant videos! I've got my girlfriend telling me to quieten down here :D
Damn good progress, glad you decided to keep it and fix it. It's definitely looking much happier now, that's for sure.
Careful now, the Ford Kent engine has a 1243 firing order. Yes it does. More flow through one carb means more fuel vaporisation concentrated in...
As an environmentalist I'm torn on biofuels. On one hand they have the potential to be carbon neutral but the reality is they are badly managed...
I have run twin 40's and a single 40 on various 1600's and 1700's over the last 10 years. I love the things. They are so simple and easy to get...
You might find some of the vales are stuck open. Not uncommon on flatties that haven't run in some time.
Best get round there with a camera so we can perv over the pics, er I mean, so we can identify the car ;)
Wow, didn't know you were running in the 8's Andy! This was pretty much what I was going to say :D
It's got a small mural of a bikini girl riding a spark plug but I can't quite remember what it says underneath. It was on the car when I got it. I...
Lol, nowhere near as much space over here in Blighty. Mine is the open one. I haven't tried to get the T in there yet :D [img]
I'm with this guy and all the other comments along the same lines. Most of the crap added to this car is bolted on or welded on so badly it'll all...
I recommend Dormer or Hertel drills. They'll go through with a slow speed and plenty of cutting oil no problem.
I didn't see any 21" until p.4 either. Lets get skinny! [img]
Mine looks most like the one posted by Johnny Bondo except it's got a solder fitting for the T piece rather than a compression fitting. And mine...
Wasn't going to click into this thread, but now I've seen your louvred seat I am truly inspired. Like it :cool:
Great weekend. I really enjoyed it. Brain is in 'BBC test signal' mode today though, this is pretty much all I can see: [img]...
They ended coming over to the UK and were in Rovers and Range Rovers up until the late 90's with fuel injection and bigger displacement. The early...
I had constant problems like this once. The car would start up, idle and run fine but after a number of miles it would start to conk out and be...
My buddy wanted an old timey coach enamel finish finish rather than high gloss. He discovered by accident that using a bit of petrol instead of...
The pictures aren't from England because the cars in the 3 photos are left hand drive.
My T has a similar modification to this to get round the flathead, except it's a 37 Lincoln box. The shaft is supported with a bearing.
That's amazing. I'd roll it pretty much as it is!
Gently take the crust off them with a bit of wire wool and give them a damn good oiling. Keep that old look :D
I got the scanner out at the risk of being sued... :D The book is called Custom Cars of the 1950s by Andy Southard and Tony Thacker. Photos taken...
