Featured Projects 1929 Ford Roadster

I took out 2 leaves, the 9th and 8th,
but I also installed a 32nd axle,
which adds another 1inch.
Greetings Harald

 

@Deutscher Thank you

 

Got the front spring greased, assembled and painted.
I decided to move the top 3 leaves to the bottom of the pack.

Then I bought a reverse eye spring for the rear, just 30 min from home.
It's 3 years old and I got it for 1/3 of the price of a new one.

 

After that I kept on disassembling the front end.
Got the perches, wishbone and brake drums off.
Happy to see that the brakes appear to have been recently rebuilt.

 

Made a mess and got the rest of the front end disassembled.
Time for cleaning, painting and rebuilding.

 

After some cleaning and painting things are finding their way back to the car.
Still need to install some cotter pins here and there and new grease fittings for the shackles.
Next up is painting the spindles, install new bushings and find someone with a reamer for those.

Can't wait to see it back on the ground with the new stance.

 

I sell these here in the HAMB in "Parts for sale", they'd look good on your Roadster.

 

Yes I've seen those.
I'm just not sure on how to solve the payment since I live in Sweden and I believe you don't do Paypal?

 

Brought the spindles to work today and spent the lunch break with sandblasting them and pressing in new bushings.
Now I just need to find someone with the correct reamer for these.

 

I took mine to the local machine shop to have them honed instead of using the reamer. Came out perfect!

 

This is coming together nice.

 

@Acres Thank you

 

US dollars or International Postal Money Order work. $355, Shippings included in that price.

 

I spent 3 weeks looking high and low for the self-piloting reamer .8125". I gave up and did them on a piston pin hone. Snyders antique auto has it for around $300
