Re: General Jumbo
I am really enjoying this thread, and I love the garage photo from Rich B. I'd give my left nut (lugnut) for a set of those for my woodie wagon.

Re: Stationary engines good cores for rebuild?
25 years ago I was given a welder with a 59ab type engine. I was told it looked like a US Navy unit common around the shipyards. It was trailer mounted with dual vertical straight pipes. I got it...

Re: 226 flathead Ignition timing
What year or model? The G was early and an H was later. I have an H and adjusting timing is rather normal by rotating the distributor. Does the G have it's distributor on the front of the timing...

Re: Notes on a roadster windshield
Thanks Pete! Did some more welding/grinding with 3/8" square stock in preparation of having some glass in this thing. The wind noise is really getting to me, and along with no floor over the...

Re: Notes on a roadster windshield
Thanks all for your suggestions and commentary. I'm so close to getting some plexiglass in but work and family stuff has me driving in the wind. Last week I put a piece of stainless trim up the...

Re: Notes on a roadster windshield
I agree with you Pete! I actually have a pet peeve about frame swaps that get it close but the hideous modern tilt steering column and wheel give it away at a glance. I was sort of hoping to keep the...
