Well made it thru another day in the misery hole. Didn't do a thing to the fleet as today is my 87th year in this life. I did start the 32 & park it in the driveway as some car folk came by to wish me happy b'day. we B Sd for a couple of hrs.
Tomorrow I hope to start back on the 34 roadster to figure out what I am going to do about the valves tapping the heads. All new valves & Isky springs. High lift cam L-100 grind 373 lift & the heads were resurfaced & the block decked. |

Re: another older
Burn-out-Bob: congratulations on your milestone! Margretha and I pray that your new year of life will bring all that you most desire - to include finishing and driving that "hot rod" '34!

Re: another older
Happy birthday! Sounds like you are doing great. That is a very beautiful Roadster. Solution? Just add another couple of head gaskets.

Re: another older
Happy Birthday B-O-B. Love your 1934 Ford Roadster. Do I detect an early 1933 rear fender on this car, the ones without the "skirt", or am I seeing things? |

Re: another older
Here is a picture of a very early 1933 "skirtless" rear fender. The more that I look at the Roadster, I think that the rear fender on B-O-B's car is the correct one with the "skirt". It just looks like it didn't have one? My mistake. |

Happy Birthday Bob. Surfaced heads and skimmed block. That'll stack up and give you that valves playing kissy kissy with the heads problem. Might need a little local spot facing.

Re: another older
J M 35 sedan I wanted something really dark & this is what they (paint shop) made so no name on it. I do have the formula. Paint is acrylic single stage enamel. Looks really dark in the right lighting. Would have still wanted a darker paint but had some applied & too lazy to redo it & have it darker.
