MT valve covers

 

I wonder why the M,/T was not cast into the Valve covers ?

 

Inside does

there some early versions with only ”Thompson” cast into em

 

Old cal customs

setting on a straight 8 Buick belly tanker

 

Hot Rod or Stock Car? 1935-36 rear axle mounts welded to late flathead dropped wishbone. The spring mounts are modified, they will never work on V8 trumpets, so the work was done to attach then to a 1950's or newer rear.

 

Found this at Too Tall Okies signs and such at Dewey Saturday during the Stay Kat 500 . I’m thinking maybe a third brake light ? Or it may just wind up in the stack of treasures I have lol

 

I found this. Worth it to get? Even for pump parts?

 

Yes if it is FREE, and you plan to take it to a local swap meet.

 

My new old machinery. The lathe/milling machine is an Emco Maximat Super 11, made in Austria. It was government surplus, stored near the open side of a storage barn with 3 walls. I had to do a lot of cleaning and derusting. I bought one part that is still available, and made a couple that aren't. Ive also used it to make a couple parts for the Hamilton Varimatic sensitive drill press in the next photo. The part in the drill press vise is one of the parts I made for the lathe, getting the final step done. Next is a grinder for carbide tools, that I need to get a phase converter for. Last is before and after shots of a Dake arbor press. I cleaned up, wire brushed, and painted, made new shims, filed dings, and removed the brass tag to polish it. When I get my horizontal mill working, Ill mill the ends of the ram flat, and rebore the hole in one end.

 

A friend gave me a copy of Crash Club like yours even had the library card sleeve as well. I full time rv now and have sold most everything auto related except that book. I mailed it back to him a couple of months ago.

 

Lepus very nice work and tools

 

Found in a box of FORD Parts, What is it from? Thank you! Bob

 

Where did the switch mount?,ive never seen one of them.My car did not have any running gear in it when i got it.It is something you never think much of until you see one. Harvey

 

I’m kinda digging the bumpers too
The rocker stainless has potential.


but I got my $$$$ worth.


anyone need any desoto pieces other than the grill and bumpers

 

Flat 6

didn’t get that lucky

 

Those Desotos have a cool dash and steering wheel, well worth saving if you're parting the car out.

 

I bought it for the grill and bumpers. I’ll try to find a good home for the rest of this mess
