Default Re: My 1930 Model A

Lots of changes going on in the shop. I'm working on installing a set of Ken Davis shocks so my car will actually have shocks on it now.

I've got a new set of tires since the ones that were on were at least 40 years old and hard as a rock.

While the tires are off I'm gonna have the wheels media blasted and repaint them black since there's a bunch of chips and I'm not sure how to match the blue that the previous owner used.

While I was fixing the head gasket I noticed a crack in one of the ears on the water neck so I ordered a new one and the previous assumptions are correct. I had a 28-29 neck before. Original is on the left, new part on the right.

I have a temperature gauge to install but the holder doesn't line up anywhere close. I may have to Fab something up if I can't exchange the one I got.

I also got a bunch of other miscellaneous parts and hardware to replace or just install because it wasn't there in the first place.
