Crazy I got this car right at a year ago. Sprung it out of winter storage a couple days back. Here’s to the weekend [ATTACH]
the car was very cool as a race car, but crude. It had no floor/subframe in it when I bought it. I’m fairly sure it was just welded to the frame....
not really except maybe the wheel wells. I need to paint the panel below the deck lid, headlight buckets and grill. It will be a fun challenge to...
you could see the striping under the rattle can, and my friend John ID’d the car not long after I bought it. He had a couple photos, and the rest...
Got the rest of the car sanded, and went to the local paint shop to pick up some paint to spray a few pieces. I was told the car was 1955 Ford...
I actually just started working on it after a year or so of not touching it. I started a thread about it a couple days ago...

I need to paint them, the one you see the center painted, I did. But it didn’t look great so I didn’t continue. The recessed “stripes” on the caps...
Got it home, cleaned it and luckily I had a spare lower hose. tightened up a few things and readjusted the brakes, threw the caps on and the...
I got the car pretty much buttoned up and took it on a maiden cruise outside my neighborhood. Starting hearing a clicking noise…turned out one of...
As usual...
Hello all, I was at a small swap meet yesterday and came home with a (I think) 1937-39 Buick 3 speed that’s been converted to Ford closed...
The beanies weren’t doing it either, so I decided to just leave it be for a few days and I’ll think on it. Last night I fired the car up and moved...
I cleaned and painted a set of 16” wheels red, and also wanted to try some old black paint 16’s I had. So I bought new tires, and mounted two of...
Super bitch-n
Thank you everyone, this is great info! Yes, I do realize one of the regulators has the post in different locations, it was hooked up correctly...
Thank you for this, on all regulators that didn’t work, I did run a jumper wire from a ground to the base of regulator, and it made no difference
I’d like to know if there is a way to test these things, or at least talk with guys who know more about them than me. Half of these are new in the...
fair enough, but I do it at the regulator
Hello all I’m in the tail end of getting 40 coupe up and going. When I got the car, it is all fresh, including a 12V conversion. I got the car...
I have been working on the car, but nothing super post worthy. I got all the gauges working using a voltage drop, re-jetted the carbs and put...
For sale- 1940 Ford pickup. I bought this truck as a project, but man I’m in spring cleaning mode and selling off some projects/treasure. Truck...
