I'm going to be shifting some things around in the shop, so if i can re-home this soon... Otherwise, everything gets buried until i'm bored. No...
I thought '36 was the long one (spindle). Not an expert, but i have a set of '36 drums here that don't fit anything else. Hopefully, someone will...
Looks like it's been sectioned, too.
Good info. It is a model a wishbone. It may work fine, but even if the '36 spindles would fix this, i'm not excited about slotting the backplates,...
I'll find someone with torches. It may not look like much, but i spent a lot of time looking for good spindles.
This is the first old Ford i've messed with. It's built entirely of spares. So far, it's been fun. I've run into an issue with my combination of...
Nice work. There are a bunch of cool machines lurking in the background. That Toyota... Tell mom to be more appreciative.
I'm guessing metric. These measurements are to the corners, not including the riveted feet. I could trace the quarters and stick that in the mail?...
I have a pair of originals that are going to be for sale. I can also get measurements in the am, just to compare. Also, a super solid firewall.
I found mine on ebay. They weren't expensive, but there was some luck involved. The longer type acts like a pilot to keep the 2 bushings in line....
Thanks. I completely forgot about the bearing placement. I need a nap.
This may be the most noob question ever, but it's been a year since i had time to look at these parts. I have a model a, with a '36 front axle. I...
That's the only way i've ever done those rear springs. I stack them, stick a long screwdriver through the center bolt, and squeeze them with a...
I missed that original thread, thanks for posting it
If you've seen these guys on youtube, you'll know they are about as traditional as it gets. The most recent post was to report that Matt was in a...
Reduced, $150 +
Man, what are you doing? This forum is super helpful. I've read through this whole thread, tons of info and photos have been offered. Some good...
Like a proper shop. Needs more clutter.
You bonehead. A few hours ago, i didn't know what an Echlin coil was. Now, i'm shopping...
Spring is here, i think.
Pair of matching a-pillars, one of which has the typical rot. The other is pretty nice. Shipping is extra, bur we can talk about that.[ATTACH]...
Here's a pair of really solid a-pillars that some knucklehead cut, just in line with the dash rail. Perfect to make patches from, or run on a...
This is a cool thread. Somehow i've missed it to this point. Where did you find grade 8 button head screws?
Good for you! Enthusiasm is the most important tool in that bucket. That said, a cheap metal-cutting bandsaw was the first tool i bought. With...
A hacksaw? Dude.
I guess the only concern is if the fronts rub. What happens when wheels aren't straight? It looks like they'll catch.
Still, nice atmospheric photo
Your girl is not wrong. I built a new shop a few years ago. It's shocking, the amount of crap i have filled it with. Pretty much guaranteed to...
Amazing. That car is pretty inspiring.
I don't think it's too far off. Add the weight of the fenders and boards + a couple passengers, it might level out. You're going to need to look...
