Re: Ford badge

I just bought a half find can of blue that looked like it matched the crest in my radiator shroud fairly well. In 30 years no one has ever commented on it being wrong on my bumper clamp.

Re: Balancing wire wheels with steel plate welded inside

I agree with #2 post.

FYI, I was taught that the little red or green dot on the sidewall of the tire is the heavy spot of the tire before mounting. We (when I was young) always mounted the...

Re: Saw at the Old Car Festival 2023

Bob, nice collection. Every time I see one at an auction it seems like they go for a chunk of cash. I always think that one day I'll figure out my 3-D printer. LOL

Re: A newbie needs help!

Are you preparing the car for sale? Some people just want to get the car running so they can sell it.

Re: Rear end ckunking on left turn

It's the easiest, so good idea to give it a try. Honestly, the first thing I thought of just reading the title was the lube.

Re: Frustration aligning doors in a Fordor Body

Marshall, I think what you have is just fine. Don't give it a thought. You have a nice car. Looks nice, and I am sure it will be roadworthy. Let's face it, lots of A owners never drive their...

Re: Oil Pump Shaft

So at sustained speed will the increased flow begin to pump the sump dry? Has anyone ever really researched this? More is not always better. Look at that post from Terry Burtz this weekend,...
