Re: Throwout bearing chirping
Now it is chirping when the clutch is depressed. It is going to have to get a lot worse for me to pull the engine. In the mean time, is there any way to put lubricant on it through the inspection...

Re: Shout out to SwoopNZ!
Chris is a fine man indeed. Although I've not met the man face to face, I have had a great friendship with him for better than twelve years.

Re: 1939 ford dash
All '39 closed are dashes are identically shaped / formed.
The open car and wagon dashes are identical.

Re: 1939 ford dash
Massage it? It would demand considerably more effort than a simple massage.
Closed car dash is narrower than an open dash. Closed car dash is deeper than an open dash. Closed car dash has an opening...

Re: Need car hauled from PA to Denver
I tend to agree with RKS. While a '47 convertible wouldn't be terribly expensive to replace, why risk damaging it?
This is after all, your dream car.
Now, in my opinion, is not a time to go cheap.

Re: 1938 battery
Alan, I can only speak to the '39 (standard) batteries I'd received from that company. They were, as you'd correctly stated, not identical to the authentic and did require some modifications to the...

Re: 1938 battery
They were painted from the factory. At least in '39 and '40. I can't speak with authority of other years.

Re: 1938 battery
Alan is 100% correct of course.
Still, if you want it to appear fairly close to authentic, the 2HF will do the trick for the most part.
I have used these by modifying the hold down components in...

Re: Terrible mistake at a professional auction
David, I am 6'2" and have adequate leg room in my '36 roadster. There could be a bit more (leg room) to make me super comfy, but hey, this is a '36 Ford. I get it :)
I'd never driven a phaeton so...

Re: 1940 Ford coupe headliner installation
Rear windows must be removed. Glue the lining in very well. I prefer 3M contact cement. Once it is very dry, using a razor, remove any material from the edge that the glass (seal) would push against....

Re: 1940 column shift clip
There is a thin wave washer beneath the circlip.
I don't believe they have ever been reproduced.
In the past, when I have needed one, I have utilized the clip that holds the brake lever to the...

Re: Starter to oil pan bracket
I'd figured cases were cracking due to no bracket and that's why Ford added it.
I know in the 60's, Chevy added a bracket to their starters. Many guys would not reinstall it (kind of a pain to do...
