No special tools required, I'd recommend doing it with the use of a model A frame as a base.
Cam sold it to Dave York who later sold to the new owner who's supplying them to So Cal Speed shop.
When it was originally built it looked something like this.[ATTACH]
Thanks for the tour, haven't been down there in a few years. Always a great show.
It looks like you already have a '39 pedal assembly.
You can buy a complete '39 pedal assembly from Bob Drake that's already prepared for a dual master cylinder and the clutch connection to the bell...
Back when I was out searching for 8" rears out of Mavericks it didn't look like the 6 cylinder cars had an 8" but some other puny rear end.
Falcon Sprint's had an 8" rear end 5 lug.
I put a set on my roadster. One of the rear tires, 7.50x16 was way out of round causing considerable vibration. It took eight months to get a...
Is there a question in there somewhere? A lot of Model As are built on original frames.

Do the flatheads use the same valve lash specs for both intake and exhaust? :confused: No, intake should be set at at 14 and exhaust at 18....
Non-world class T-5s use 70 weight. Redline 70-75 is the best.
Mine came today too. What a wonderful surprise!
With airbags and high impact bumpers along with all the other safety and economy components added it wouldn't look much like a '32 Ford no matter...
Used to use the cardboard envelopes Rodder's Journal came in. Don't know what to use now, maybe cereal boxes.
Thanks for the great photos Dan!

When I called Coker about the delay in shipping ( I had ordered a replacement tire) their salesman told me they hadn't charged my account and...
