I'm still alive but had some big life changes. Closed the shop and moved to England.

Well here is an update. Last week I returned to Germany and packed all my tools and parts in a shipping container and locked the doors. That's now...
I can't answer everyone individually but want to thank every single one of you for the support. It helps. I know I'm still probably better off...
The maroon one or the Roy Desbrow? The Desbrow was the best one I ever did. It toured the US last year. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G935F using The...
Well Ford did. In the past I've taken a RHD left spindle and a LHD right spindle and dropped the arms. Dropping them reduces the length. So I've...
After 14 years of rod building I've decided to call it a day and shut my shop. It was a hard decision to make as it was the love of my life. But I...
No I didn't. But I tried to describe the process best I could. Sent from my SM-G935F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've discovered an easy solution to a problem which plagues many of us. I have a 1936 Ford Pickup in for service. It jumped out of second really...

Yes I found it did. So I removed it and then I lightly hand sanded the shaft to reduce the diameter by a thou or so, then hammered the worm on...
Has anyone got any special tips to make replacing the worm easy, or at least possible? I've done it before and it was a nightmare. I was thinking...
Well I worked it out. You have to drop the box, tilt the column slightly and then withdraw the light switch up out of the doorway. Sent from my...

A question about water pumps. Obviously these gigantic water pumps are going to have to go. I read somewhere that only truck pumps fit. Is this...
Yes. It'll be available. One of the spark plugs is damaged but I could get another one. Sent from my SM-G935F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
It has a gigantic two piece truck pan. The German ones have lovely aluminium pans you can use. I've got a 59A-B steel pan to use. I still don't...
So I guess the revolutions counter was reset during the rebuild. That would explain it's fresh condition then if it was rebuilt in '92. Still,...
It looks like it was assembled in July 1992 even though the casting was already 5 years old at the time. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G935F using The...
