Huh. Who woulda guessed?
Isn’t one of the Stirnemans a HAMBer? I remember talking with him about his primered 34 5-window at the HAMB Drags many years ago.
Lately I’ve been drawn to the rear tires fitting tightly on highboys. I’d suggest propping your exact wheels and tires up against the body, and...
https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/krylon-farm-implement-brush-on-paint-high-gloss-tractor-yellow-1-gallon-2335926 How close is this to...
Just because I’ve never seen it doesn’t mean it’s not out there. My wife tells me every day that I don’t pay attention. I hope some HAMBers will...
34’s look great with a visor screwed to the top.
Except that I’ve never seen, and the OP’s isn’t either, a prewar factory relieved block. It’s a post war 59A block, so it can’t be a 1941.
I’d bet my lunch that nobody makes a kit for those. You will need to find a talented local upholsterer.
Ken, you should probably stop looking at hot rodder fabrication pics. Most guys use MIG welders. You will only have little nubbins left where...
I sat in Hot Rod Pro’s 32 pickup a couple years ago, and fit just fine. I’m six foot and two hundred. His seat is stock on the bottom, but he...
Would it look like a modern truck with the half size doors on the back?
The tank is all there is. There are bumps up under each butt that each cushion fits over, so they don’t slide off.
Johnny, that pic ain’t right. As you can see, the cushions are messed up, and not stock. I have seen stock Henry wood bases for the two piece...
IIRC the odd green local coupe body was traded for a very nice 32 5-window body, which my Dad now owns and is very close to being operational...
40 years ago a local hot rodder had a 34 3-window body the same color green. But it had a rolled rear pan and the top was not chopped. But those...
32’s are the only year that have a flat flange perpendicular to the rod. The other years all have a countersunk bung.
But I find it doesn’t matter if the spring is new or old, it will settle. After having it in and out of the mounts, it seems to take a few miles...
Ha! Guys don’t read everything. They just read the OP and then start giving advice.
Oh, major issue. Definitely needs more investigation. Be aware that the tapered axle end has a tight fit to the hub, and requires a special...
Be aware that all automotive springs will settle some after use. Leaf and coil. And I’ve never seen any data to give an exact amount. So just...
I was looking at the non tapered protrusion from the threads.
Based on the catalog illustrations, it looks like Hank has a fitting for a Holley, not a Stromberg.
You will see it, because the hood won’t fit right. It’s very common and Model A guys have been fighting it for decades. But there’s no space to...
You forgot to show us your fixture for pressing the new worm on the shaft. Or is it a proprietary secret?
I’ve never seen shims on any original old Ford I’ve taken apart.
If you are going through the trouble of cleaning the rust from everything (sandblasting), then also do the effort to weld in a new piece. If you...
Can’t imagine why someone would want to start with a name that has a bad reputation, and then work to change it? Why not just launch a new...
Bolt up, as in no mods? I’d guess any front seat from a 49-51 tudor Merc. Maybe the same year baby Lincoln if you are lucky.
Lots of twelve spokes, guys. And lots of 15”. But he’s looking for an 18” five spoke. The blown hemi altered is the only one that might be what...
Separate names with a comma.
