Someone surprised me with these headlight housings as a gift. I'd love to give them a go but I would like to identify them if possible. Thank you...
It's just due to my familiarity with bronze. I haven't practiced as much with thin steel (I can do the razor trick with my TIG though.)
I have a question that I have to preface. I weld on bronze cast sculptures primarily using TIG. In some cases I have to weld on extremely thin...
So I take it that I can make a bracket in the cowl and bolt it to heavy brackets on the frame?
I've done multiple searches on the Googles and the HAMB and there's a detail with cowl steering that I seem to be missing. Using a Model A Sedan...
I found the needle bearings for next to nothing on Amazon. For as little as I paid for them I'm going to try them. Beats the crap out of buying a...
My problem is the spindle doesn't have enough space between the axle slot to put the stock bearing in between. When I upgraded to a solid kingpin...
Can you tell me how this worked? I'm in the same situation and have been looking at the needle bearings as an option.
I know this is an older thread, but I was curious if anyone had actually done this?
Fishplates are a definite. I'm going to put the front end together and then put them all on.
I'll likely make a new needle that can wrap around the gear.
This is a smaller thing I've done for down the road. This is a Harley Davidson speedo I've had for years on a shelf. I'd read somewhere that the...
So fast forward a bit. I had the rear suspension tacked up and ready to weld. The 4 bars, shock mounts and panhard were also ready to weld into...
I also took one of the doors off and fixed the inner panel. Turns out the door skins on this thing are aluminum as well as the inner panels, and...
The first thing I addressed were the doors. They weren't swinging properly and wouldn't quite close. After some investigation I found that the car...
The search was on for a body. I was cruising Craigslist in the Phoenix area and I'd search by year- 1926 through 32. I'd thought if I scored a T...
Not long after I managed to pick up a 90's era Mustang 302 for 20 bucks! Not siezed, easy to get parts for, and if it didn't work out I could...
I started to acrue parts when I could afford them and I managed to pick up a used Model A front axle/spindles and the wishbones. After scraping...
Hello all! I asked Ryan about this build since it's an oddball that's traditionally inspired but not completely traditional. He said give'er a go...
This last summer the body was painted and on a cart, I think he had just finished the doors. I actually took a trip that way the summer previous...
Gratz on the new arrival! I bought the DVD's from Bob and have emailed with him extensively. He's been a huge help with my build also. I took a...
So let them build their stuff their way. This is my car. But if you sir are still asking how to go about it I have some more pics of the process...
Those metal lips at the base of the spindles? They're attached. Do people cut them off? Or are they pressed in? I thought they were part of the...
So I've made some progress since the last time I posted here. I know it's been awhile but I've been working on other sections of my build while I...
I've almost accrued the parts for the front brake kit according to your specs. The spacers worked beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing the...
I built a tubed frame almost to Model A specs, and then ended up unexpectedly scoring a 27 Essex 4 door sedan. Can anyone tell me how much they...
Yep! I did some research since the last post and going this route will be a bit more labor and creativity intensive but it'll be a fraction of the...
ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou!:D
So the next question I have, what grade steel is used to make the adapter? Or would a machinist already know that?
I've been pretty careful to reinforce everything, fish plates, gussets, and my k member will be 2x2 with the same wall thickness. The 302 will be...
