Thanks Jon. Singer oil on order (Amazon, go figure) and arrives tomorrow.
I was looking for a source for the leather piston cup and found it in this thread. Thought I would share something I made. I have two switches,...
Just to add - I see how a key is the best option for a road car without regular disassembly and maintenance of this connection. i.e, Ford had that...
Checking the rear axles, hubs, brgs etc. on a '30s oval track Ford with a '33 rear end and the lapping info is very helpful. I found that the keys...
Check out this safety hub on my 30s dirt track Ford. At first I thought whoa, a Halibrand who I think also made them. Looks like it may have...
Thanks guys! Part of the fun is piecing together the history and the creativity, determination of the past owners.
Awesome article Gofannon, thanks! Beautiful car. More confirmation of using the fuel pump for air as drtrcrV-8 suggested and priming with a hand...
oh, and the brass pump is awesome! That would make a very cool tank pump
drtrcrV-8 and shift wizard Thanks for the input, it really does help me. Keep it simple and don't get caught up with right/wrong, if it doesn't...
drtrcrV-8 Great idea, thanks! It's the sound of the electric pump that bothers me before I start it up. It just seems wrong to me. I had never...
I'm changing my 30s Model B powered car (dual 97s) back (from electric) to using the hand pump. The hand pump is still in place and the tank is...
Thanks Hjmaniac! Very cool story.
Your drag car is awesome, I can't imagine what it feels like. The Hartford friction shocks do work just fine, at least my 70 yo butt thinks so....
I have really enjoyed reading every post and responses and look forward to more. You are or will soon get into the lights, turn signal, controls,...
As someone noted before, it seems to me the overall interest in any car is shrinking with the younger kids. That is only based on my children and...
I realize this is an old post but I hope you see this and can help me piece together some information. I have an early 30s car that was built...
Thanks Robert! I missed that on Dayton's site. Awesome car! Steve
Enjenjo, Awesome, thanks you for the info. !
I should mention, the Ford dirt track car is even tighter. I need to take off the steering wheel just to get in and the steering wheel rubs my...
Thanks Brian! And with the 7, I'm 5'10" (shrunken from 5'11 1/2") and do fit, just barely. The footbox is tight as in most early Lotus, but the...
Bob, I'm thinking the same thing. They do look like some low rider wheels I've seen in my searching(googling). Yes, the caps are handed.
I agree, the torque is "happening" at a much larger radius and the interlocking is more solid. My "new" car is a '58 Lotus 7 with Dayton wheels...
I think the wheels may be early Daytons but they are not dentals, nor pie crust Buffalo. Any ideas what they are? And if Dayton, what is your...
Thanks Dennis! Another feynmanfan :)
Thank you for reaching out! Yes, it's Bill's car and I'm the lucky 4th owner. But Bill started the car's journey so it will always be his car. My...
Here's one I had but will take more/better tomorrow.
Bob, I'll take a few shots tomorrow. I understand it was a L29. I don't know Cords but think the L29 was FWD. Steve
I apologize for the diversion but it's a 1932 Gesma designed/built trailer for a big car. (the car shown has a 92" wb) Built as a up and over with...
Here is an Up-n-Over trailer reported to be designed and built by Joe Gesma in 1932. The axle was from a '29 Cord L29. It's been transporting the...
