Not pearl. Back in the synthetic era, before acrylics, pearl had crushed shells and was a devil to match. Could be a relative, not totally unlike...
Many newer cars are painted with an attractive, nearly milky color. Is there a term for this kind of paint? Without a word to describe this paint,...
Of course I would like to know how to use the Model D front cover on a Model B. You may be able to penetrate the fog of indifference that I saw...
As I mentioned before, the Donovan model D front cover is aluminum. The cam thrust button is different than the Ford Model A/B. There may be a...
I think Donovan blew me off. Months later never got the call. Do I sense a declining business? Moving On: Fred A
The engine is a Model B Ford with an Iron Cragar. The Donovan Model D is an aluminum banger clone from decades ago. I thought the alloy front...
Shure would not want to be waiting for an answer from Donovan after spending large money. Would make a good "Clueless II" film story line....
Still waiting for the call back from Donovan. Maybe tomorrow. Fred A
Good Luck if you find a muffler or whatever that gives you what you ask. I also seek a muffler and tail pipe for a stock '40 that makes quiet and...
The aluminum timing gear cover either needs a bushing to fit a stock plunger or Donovan uses different parts. What do I need to make it work?...
Dennis Bleitz may have some. 949-456-6034 Barry is completely sold out.
Rich: the '33-'36 axle would solve the fat look of the '32. Still the task of fitting in the A wishbone would remain. Those axles are common...
I have two axles to choose from. Number one is a dropped Model A. Number two is a stock 1932. Engine is a Cragar B in Model A frame mounted as a...
The commercial V8-60 trans is a good clean solution to using later Ford and Zephyr gears behind a 60. Too many guys don't get it that the 73-7006...
Tune in Guys: 51... has it and Street... nailed it with a picture. Such brackets have been around for ages with bolts from two angles. Quite...
Surprise! Those clutches wear out. As they wear they become more difficult to control, especially at low speeds. When industrial sewing shops were...
Is Robert sure that this frame is worth the effort? I run into this consideration often, perhaps from the abundance of parts Model A and early...
I was waiting til someone got to the Burbank muffler shop that set the pace from the fifties into the sixties. Jerry Huth at Huth Mufflers was the...
I'm lookin Rocky, but sure don't see that report button. Must be my old operating system. Good Luck finding it. Fred A
Sorry to see that so few out here share my concern with dishonest offerings. Much of what I read is apology or excuses for such sellers. When I...
Shopping from the classifieds is risky enough but when the program is configured to limit comment from someone spotting something bogus and...
I'm sure glad Steve spared me the technical details. Still looks like a stack of opinions. It may be that I'll be just fine going my own way....
Crazy Steve jumps into the world of opinion when linking "best" to voltmeter and alternator. I'd like to jump in with him with my opinion as I can...
I'm sure that Choppedtudor ran right out and dropped a line from the kingpin to the ground. Results are confidential. Good Luck: Fred A
Reads like a race to the bottom. How low can you go? The title of this thread begs for such boasts. I'm rolling on 550-18. Good luck in the...
Looks like Justin is hot on the trail of the F1 solution. A bunch more difficult than the "Easiest mount that matches well enough?" that the OP...
I get caught on these arguments often as the availability of early Ford Components must be an entirely different market back east. That's why the...
Steep, take another look at the subject crossmember. It's made for the one piece rear mount. No spacing... Good Luck: Fred A
A lot of work went into TBE's frame and it is very nice looking. The center crossmember is lost in the process because there is little function...
What is commonly called the F1 crossmember was introduced with the '42 pickup, six years before the F1 in a lame effort to eliminate the chatter...
Separate names with a comma.
