I might have been doing it wrong for the last 50 years, but I always snug the nut with a wrench while spinning the wheel then back it off to the...
Mine, [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I am going with a vintage vibe for my roadster project. I found the correct cloth electrical wiring tape and waxed aircraft lacing cord. I'm...
This is just another proven way to cool one, at least for me. Here in Florida the heat can get brutal, my A-Bone had no mechanical fan just two...
Turns out that the wheels Speedway sells are Wheel Smith, the reviews regarding grind marks and weld joint have me questioning them.
They are 10 lug.
The issue I have with some of these is they only show pics of the wheel with the caps on. It would be nice to see the detail behind them.
I've been looking for new chrome 16", 5 on 5-1/2" 1940 Ford rims for some time now. The only place I see them is Speedway and there appear to be...
Thanks for the replies, I'm not looking for cast or vinyl. I would think that there would be a skilled pin striper that could make fast work of...
This club plate was my father's and has been handed down to me, I also have his club shirt. My best guess is that it was from 1950-1951. I would...
I cut the "keyed" end off of my F1 box shaft. I had someone send me 12" of a splined early 60's steering shaft. I weld prepped and clamped the...
Don't know if this helps. I used original Model-A cross members and bobbed the tail. I did move the front cross member forward 1-1/2" to allow...
Thanks for the responses. Great idea with the plastic pipe trick! I will try that. I went back and looked at previous picks above and now I...
Question, what does that flap of roof canvas do that is inside of the windshield at the top. It has snaps and goes side to side, my top has it...
I haven't installed anyway near the number of bearings that some of you have. But I do remember some had a bump and some had this pin. This is a...
10" shroudless pusher fans fit nicely behind a 32 grill, I've had 2 cars set up that way. They work fantastic in stop and go Florida traffic. My...
Great choice of wheels and tires, eliminates the "street rod" look the other wheels gave it.
I'm in the middle of a very similar build and have been looking into leather for my Roadster. The products he is looking into are the same...
Looking great! Question, what size are the front tires and where did you get them? I tried to zoom in and they look like 5.50s, I have the same...
I used a 5/16" grade 8 bolt on my stock 31 spring. No drilling required.
One of the discouraging issues about a thread such as this is that in the end, has it really helped the regular person? I for one, am just a...
10W-30 Rotella T-4 is all I use in my flat tappet engines. Why? I learned why right here on the HAMB.
Drop by some day and I'll show you mine. I'm using 46 backing plates and spindles.
In your post you mentioned something that may be the X factor. You said, "if I can get it done before I become physically unable". You didn't...
Just as others have said, silver solder will do the trick. At one time I did it for a living, I used white low temp flux and a small gas torch....
I trimmed about 1/2" to provide plenty of clearance for the fenders. As I recall it mounted to the Model-A radiator just fine. And yes, it's a...
I will never use poison again! The rats ate it and didn't die until they found their way into places damn near impossible to access. Ever smell a...
Will they know what one based on wheel cylinder size?
Question to the crowd. Can anyone recommend a brake master cylinder for the following? 1941-46 Ford stock front drum brakes, 1" cylinder. 1955...
The PPG guys are having a tough time with it, even though they have the PPG code numbers, I'm waiting on a call back. I also gave them the...
