Re: starting problem???

Maybe you should just leave the electric pump on all the time. Your mechanical pump may be toast

Re: Columbia two speed differentials

The hype around the need to "Bulletin proof" these Columbias is way over blown. This is not a cost-effective insurance plan. Reminds of the "Car Sheild" crap". Just get a good, used, (No Cracks!)...

Re: (Best) copper head gasket and offenhauser aluminum heads

Sort of still on topic..... If I use a copper gasket on a stock engine with stock iron heads, do I need to apply gear grease to both sides of gasket? Does this then make removal pf heads easier,...

Re: 3 window coupe

The 3 W looks much better with suicide doors. The hinges are then in a much better place.

Re: A newbie needs help!

Welcome to ModelAland.
Having been at rest for all those years, you should assume that the gas tank in this car is full of crud and should be cleaned out. Not an easy task but much easier than...

Re: Car will not start

I would do a compression test. You need fuel, spark and compression.

Re: Skip Haney

Skip uses only the best materials. Cuts no corners. He has become, by years of practice, the "King of Coils".

Re: Is this heater from a 1937 Ford?

How nice of you to assist with this project
Is that tag, just above the heater door knob, at all legible? Maybe use a little lacquer thinner on a rag to remove some red paint.

Re: Change from 16 inch wheels to 15 inch wheels

15" wheels have the advantage over 16" if the choice is a "reversed" style wheel", in clearance within the inner fender. Many more options.
IMHO 16" wheels and tires look much better on these cars...

Re: ‘40 2 door sedan

There is a good reason that this car is so low mileage. No fun to drive. These 60 HP engines are great for boats and midget racers but not so much in a full-size sedan.
I agree with the Olds Rocket...

Re: Columbia install question

Semantics. In a closed unit, they must have considered the rear axle and the driveshaft as a single unit.

Re: A jailbar woodie on Bring a Trailer

The overspray on the engine is surprising and disappointing. Just leaves one shaking their head and walking away.

Great advice. This, you need to do. From a personal perspective, at my age (75) my time has become much more valuable than my money.
I recently had a vexing problem with my newly rebuilt...
