Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
Hey Pete, do you have the gravel pans that go in the engine compartment? That's the only thing I'm missing to make it 100% stock and COMPLETE. I think they're called gravel pans or gravel shields?...

Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
Thanks Tom! I like Krylon32's idea (#12) about some small tubing under the lacing. I think I'm going to try that first since it's easier for me with less experience than you guys out here have. Love...

Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
Thanks DavidG, maybe I won't even waste my money then. The lacing is only 10 years old but has less than 50 miles on it since restoration and has been in my shop the entire time since my uncle did...

Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
WOW, got her done. 3 guys and 3 hours. I finally have the hood somewhat aligned. The only problem is the cowl lace isn't thick enough and the hood droops lower than the cowl. When I fold a rag and...

Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
Yes, I used the radiator hammer and a piece of towel to help align the bottom radiator and pushing the hose in. I'm working by myself and I'm glad they make a radiator hammer, they come in real...

Re: Radiator, Shell & Hood Align on My '32
Thank you DavidG. I guess I was on the right track and I'll add a 1/4" to the total rather than the 1/2". That really helps. I'm anxious to finish up so I'll let you know how it goes later today....

Hello, I took my radiator, hood and grille shell off to replace my 2 water pumps on my EAB motor on my 32, 3-W. I took off the hood supports but left the one nut tight so it would go back on in the...

Re: 1956 Ford Truck, C4 Tranny Pan Problems
No, not sure what it came out of. I bought it this way. 1956 Ford F100 with a Mustang 302 and a C4, both all stock. So maybe out of a Mustang also, but cannot swear to it. Chrysler Cordoba front end....

Re: 1956 Ford Truck, C4 Tranny Pan Problems
That's awesome about your dad's airplane. I'm sure it was scrapped after the war and that landing. They were scrapping everything. A friend of mine could have bought a P-51 for $40K back in the day...
