It's been a while since I've been to Blanchard's but a lot of cool old stuff there! Have to get back there some time.
I really want to chop it. Getting the front seats redone, redoing the brake lines in Ni-cop & getting the parking brake working will have to come first though.... Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Haha, yeah we have plenty of those in the granite state. Been using an aluminum wheel chock; but a functional parking brake would be more user friendly. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
So, is there any part of the parking assembly in the the car presently or are you starting from scratch? In the project I started from scratch, used a Model A parking brake handle mounted to a bracket on the side of the trans. Installed a rod from it back to the center crossmember where it attaches to the lever that actuates both cables. Used standard Ford 9 inch cables from a Bronco (I think). Simple and it works fine. I threw away my rock. Others from the web Pics are always good but I bet you have it figured out already
Thanks, I think...unless you’re commenting on Walt’s super clean parking brake fab work..... Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Nope, I was saying great work on getting the car back together and running again. Should be a fun summer.
Thanks man, I appreciate it & really looking forward to putting some miles on it this year. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
Well, it’s been quite a while since my last post about the Tudor. I’ve been driving it as much as I can & enjoying it. It ran pretty good but I felt like it should run better & have more power. I picked up 3, rebuilt stromberg 97’s & a vertex/ronco magneto I had serviced @ Masons racing ignitions & just took it out with the updates…… Holy $hit! It feels like I added 100 hp & torque. What a huge difference. The pertronix in my old flat cap Mallory has been causing me drivability problems from the beginning.
The 32 is looking and sounding good. We chatted that that I had owned the body before you got it from the guy in Tennessee.
