Re: Mid-Atlantic Pre-War Swap Meet, 05/10/2024-05/11/2024, Luray, VA

I would like to find a set of five 1935 wheels. (I’m tired of patching my Coker tubes. I’ve had 2 flats in my new radials with new tubes.)

1935 wheels are a direct “bolt on” replacement for the...

Wire wheel balancing

When I used beads, I was installing metal valve stems at the same time. It’s easy to get the beads into the hole in the inner tube that the metal valve stem will (eventually) go into.

White wall tires

Port-a-walls may be an option. Surprisingly, they are still available on Amazon.com.

Re: White wall tires

I like white walls, but they are impossible to keep clean. I’ll probably go with black walls when I buy my next set.

1931 Slant Windshield Fordor Firewall

I’ve admired 1931 Slant Windshield Fordors for a while. If I recall correctly, they were supposed to have less wood in them than the visor Fordors. It seems that all the slant windshield Fordors I...

Is this U-Joint play normal

I’m not sure I understand. The universal joint is bolted to the output shaft of the transmission. I wouldn’t think there would be any in and out movement from wear. A worn universal joint will have...

How does your club communicate on tours?

I can see benefit in group messaging (in Signal) while driving (for the passengers) as well as group messaging during tour group stops. Sometimes, it's hard to chase down everyone if some folks are...

Re: Backup Camera for Model A with 6V Positive Ground

AL,

You probably sent a message, but I never received it. I just double checked. I’m a pack rat and never delete old messages on this forum. I don’t have any messages from anyone for that date.

Re: It's a crime

It’s hard to tell what a foreign car is anymore. “Foreign” cars are now made in America, and “American” cars contain lots of out of the country components.

LOL. Actually, I'm running a Tremec T170 transmission (~1985ish Ford Bronco transmission). Once upon it had a reverse switch, but it's long gone now.
