    Next, making and adapter to mate some '35 pedals to a mustang master. This could use some cleanup, but it fits.

    That info is worth $2 at least! I knew the numbers would tell me the gear ratio, but I wasn't sure how to decipher it. Thank you for the post!

    Looks like you are having some fun Carl! Where did you get that poster? I have a wheel like yours to restore. I think my cracks are much larger though. What did you use for the repair filler?

    Hi Sam,

    I got the poster from the artist here
    https://www.krzmarzick.com/posters

    And frame from Ikea.


    For the wheel I had planned on getting POR 15 epoxy putty but I didn’t want to wait so I tried JB Weld for wood I thought it would sand more like the whee material that their metal filler. A little sticky to work with, but it seem to work out well. I’ll post more pics as I move forward.

    - Carl

    never done it, but it seems many folks like to use pc7, a sand-able epoxy from any builders store

    Just found this thread, I'm in! I love yellow cars, Model A's, 8BA's.
    I've used JBWeld on severals wheels with no problems so far.

    Some more small updates.

    With some advice and a loaner reamer from the good guys at the FordBarn, I've finished rebuilding the '39 rear-end and front spindles. All new bearings from VanPelt and some cool spring-over-axle mounts from Old Yankee Speed. Then I started to test fit the rear brakes.

    Up font I started to test fit the spindles, front brakes, and spring. The new parts are Speedway and the reverse-eye lower spring is also from Old Yankee Speed. I like these Old Yankee parts - made right in New England! Love that!

    Some pics.

    Okay, its been a while and it's clear that I suck at updating this post. The good news (for you)is that you haven't missed much. I've been busy most of the summer selling some cars to make some room. One more to go. For the 30, I've finished the steering wheel and clutch/brake adaptor and some other small projects. One thing I discovered when I bought a NOS F1 sector gear is that I've been working on an F100 box. Ooops! Well you live you learn. The now nicely machined F100 box will sit on a shelf for a future project or be sold. I also turned up an adaptor to mount the steering wheel to my steering shaft, installed a clutch, had a custom radiator build, bought some headers and more I'm sure.

    Here are a couple pics.

    Slow and steady....

    Okay, time for another small update. As noted in this other thread, I had picked up an unknown Ford steering column with a turn signal stalk. ...I like turn signals. In my tiny brain I only saw the need for three wires for a turn signal circuit, but this thing has a lot more than that. With the help of the HAMB'ers I was given the wiring diagram that fit the column, and I decided to follow Ford's plan. From that I've decided to also use the headlight switch from the same year so I can continue to use Ford's wiring plan. With that as a starting point I started to draft my schematic - posted below. It's not finished and I'd appreciate any thoughts.

    Things that need to be added
    - junction boxes
    - fuses
    - relays (hate to use modern relays but I'll hide them if needed)
    - header circuit
    - gauge wiring
    - ignition circuit

    Hey there! I'm using Adobe Illustrator. Trying to keep the colors close to Ford's and I'll try to source cloth-covered wire that's close. ...this will be fun! :D

    Love this build!

    What are you going to run for your rear spring?

    Thank you, it means a lot!

    The plan is for a model T spring with the lower spring being a reverse-eye from the Old Yankee Speed Co.
