Flathead shift tower — the good one. Forks are straight and free. Here for questions but I think the photos say a lot. Shipping on you and I’ll be...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I’ll keep this short and sweet. Been fighting ignition issues in my current Flathead powered daily driver for weeks....
Nice overdrive trans. Fresh rebuild picked up years ago for a project that never happened. Spins free and shifts through all gears. Asking 500...
Similar to the other set, this set has super duper TROG patina. A small ding but anyone with eyes and hands would make short work of it. Pics tell...
Pics tell the story. Nice, straight set of V8-60 wide five wheels. 3.5" wide. Looks like one clip is busted but the remaining bits would probably...
Been drilling and chasing pits with steel filler for over an hour. Would make my life a lot easier if I knew I could flow a bunch of bronze over a...
Not the sort of thing you're likely to find again. All old chrome and ready to run. I "censored" the steering wheel since it's long gone, but the...
I have the rails and crossmembers to assemble a '32 frame. All clean original Ford stuff and I'm looking for opinions on assembly technique. The...

The channel and section of my F1 leaves little room for a battery. Don't want it in the engine compartment and space under the bed is super tight...
Looks like it’s time to do another run of Aero Discs. WHO? You. And before I get to the details I want to step back and recognize the folks...
Stumbled across this on my morning MTB ride. Might be common, might be rare? Couldn't find anything that matched with a quick google search so......
I had pretty much settled on a traditional tunnel setup but something like this might simplify things and help solve some fabrication problems....
It's going down like this: As it's labeled, this forum is strictly for traditional hot rods and this is fair warning that I'm going to be a real...
Unless this is something I dreamed up and thought about so much that it became some sort of fabricated memory... I would swear I've seen an image...
Essentially trying to get a feel for cross steer geometry as Ford originally intended. I've see the Pete & Jake's diagrams... and the Speedway...
