Logical engine choice and having a third pedal is a huge plus. I have three '32 Fords, a 3-window, an original roadster and a Brookville. All...
That's a great looking '34 and the chop is perfect. Congratulations to you for being the continuing caretaker.
The only issue with '32 Ford body dimensions are that the roofs are too high. There are many reasons why they're considered the ultimate Hot Rod...
Original body and frame, '57 283, '39 box w/25 tooth set, Zephyr Columbia, early SW gauges. Chopped original top irons and LaBaron interior. [ATTACH]
A light aluminum flywheel sounds great but you give up the launch. Back in the '60s I ran an 11# Scheifer aluminum flywheel and my 2800# '55...
Your version of the color will look great on your '38. Looking forward to the photos!
Definitely a defective forging, return it for replacement. Don't accept the excuse you've been offered.
Just my observation from building '30s Fords since 1958, the '38 design is the most beautiful Art Deco front end of the era.
A quick call to Powermaster would be in order. They should be able to either say yes or no.
I built one in '66 for my Chevy Gasser. Once you got the timing it worked well. The starting line at many of the drag strips ran slightly down...
Yes, those hood tops are perfect!!!
My first car, paid $17.50 for it in 1958. One of my uncles bought it from a widow after her husband passed. He realized that it was not a reliable...
We are truly fortunate to be Americans, and blessed by the intelligence of our founding fathers. My ancestors arrived to the New World in 1635...
A great history lesson, very informative and well presented. Thanks
Probably an altered because the wheelbase isn't stock.
Before rev limiters at the salt, and also dirt like El Mirage, engines would over rev and explode because of lack of traction. Sixty years ago I...
It should be a requirement when joining the HAMB to indicate where you're located. As has been said there are possibly members close who can lend...
The black Olds coupe is a beauty, great to see one in the right color. Thanks
That's a beautiful chop on the 3W. Hope your friend keeps it and puts many miles on the red coupe!
I stopped driving my '32 Roadster to the LARS because of the idiots on the 210 freeway. I built the car to drive at freeway speeds with a...
That's a great find and an all-time favorite, One of my best friend growing up got a '50 Olds fastback from his older brother. His brother had...
Great history and a trip down memory lane. Thanks for the stories and photos, timeless for all enthusiasts.
Ok Neal, add me to the list for one of the spacers for my Roadster.
I agree terrible location for the fuel lines and regulator. Looks to be a solid '32 and with your experience will turn out great. Ron
Looking great, the chop and the slight channel look perfect. I've always thought that the straight down chop and not the laid back A post is...
Neal, I've compared the handling of '32 Fords with unspilt wishbones to split mounted to the frame rails and hairpins plus parallel four bars....
My '32 Roadster was a banger with the unsupported pinion. I found a '40 rear axle with a Zephyr Columbia that has the speedometer drive off the...
Google "Clutch and Brake pedal assembly", about 20 units show up, from eBay, Summit, Jeg's, etc
The Delco Remy points distributor is a very reliable unit if maintained as you have shown. My three running cars have single point Delco's and...
Once you determine the ride height with spring leaves removed you can add a spacer on top to raise the chassis. You've been given good info about...
