Re: Removal of rear wheel- hub in stuck on axle

Thanks. That was what I was looking for. I’ve seen several different styles for A’s and V8’s, but I’ve never seen one for T’s.

Re: Curved vent/oil fill tube for 59AB

Some V8-60 motors had a fill tube that leans forward. Not sure about the diameter though.

Re: ID help on Model T bracket and wrench

Re: Early 1946 Mercury grill surround question

Photo of my recently finished ‘46 below. It has a serial number that is pretty late in the year. A few years ago, I saw a coupe just like it with the ‘46 grill features, and the owner got a bit testy...

Re: 1946 Gas door bumpers

Pictures from my recently finished ‘46 Mercury. I got the bumpers from Drake. The fit is pretty good. Bumpers are slightly smaller than a pencil eraser and a little shorter.

Re: Interior trim screws

Not sure about trucks being different than cars, but I thought that Ford switched to Phillips screws after the war. My nice original ‘46 Mercury has all Phillips screws in the interior.
