Re: Five buck wide five. Some times you get lucky.

I think the wide fives are a beautiful wheel. Height of Art Deco styling, I've got mine all fixed up with 36 hubcaps and ribbed trim rings, they look sharp. Tried to post a pic, but I was again...

Re: flathead made from 2 model a engines

Don't know, but I'd love to see it. Hell, I can't even find my own video I loaded on you tube this spring. I don't know how to find it. Guess I'll have to do another.

Re: Five buck wide five. Some times you get lucky.

Nice wheel, I searched up here for wide fives and bought everyone I found(reasonably priced) but there were few nice ones. Then a buddy of mine picked up a 38 and decided to go with standard Ford...

Re: R/H Front Shock Mount..

Pretty common up here in the winter. Shock oil is like molasses in the extreme cold. Seen them rip a chunk out of the frame as well.

Re: Filter or not to filter that is the question

If your still running a mechanical fuel pump you can install a small filter in the glass bowl,
Napa 3039? I think. Add a small spring to keep it in place. And it does not look out of place on a...

Re: What is a 34 Vickie complete unrestored worth

Same here, I don't think I could ever get the time and $$$ spent back out of one of these.
But I love doing it just the same.

Re: What is a 34 Vickie complete unrestored worth

Vic,
There's a 34 Fordor up here, complete, but apart, and painted purple for some unGodly reason. He was asking ten grand about eight years ago....and still is.

Re: 1932 Ford Auction in PA Oct 10 Near Hershey

Looks like a set of homemade jack stands. Two on top of two others. 2x4 steel, looks like they are designed to set the car tires on as it is held up in the air.
Did I guess right?

Re: installing new headlight bucket wires

Same here, only I soldered them and heat shrinked the joint and the old wire. The insulation was brittle, but the wire was good. All this was inside the bucket, so it didn't show.

Re: Anyone Need an Engine Stand?

Well let's just say it didn't work out. :)
Good news is my current wife doesn't mind that I clean carburetors in the sink.

Re: 36 waterfall again

Those look similar to the ones that SoCal sells, check with them or maybe Bob Drake. He had some that were similar. I have a headlight switch like that on my 36 dash in a 30 coupe, only my light...

Re: Why do Flathead V8 Blocks Crack?

I figured it sounded more technical than the Ford assigned part number. One of these days I may get lucky and get to see a NOS V8 block!

Re: Shortened rear end for 32

When I shortened mine I took out the 15 or so inches that included the bearing. Then went with the tube type driveshaft mentioned. Got mine new from speedway, but a 34 shaft could be converted.

Re: Why do Flathead V8 Blocks Crack?

I was joking, of course :), but I have rarely seen a block that didn't have those cracks.
