I've had good luck with TCP Global's custom shop line.

My '33 doesn't have an insert; it's all one piece.
I pack some tools that would, if stolen, piss me off but not make me cry and some rags, duct tape, wire and a tarp to lie on if I spend time on...
I had one of those in '69. It was blue with orange balls, having once belonged to a Union 76 station. My neighbor gave it to me because the right...
Well, if it runs on butane, the heat exchanger would be used to prevent the system freezing up as the liquid evaporates into gas. Propane setups...
If it's hooked to the ported vacuum on your carb, that would explain it; it should be connected to manifold vacuum.
I chopped my '33 3 1/2 inches and am now working on everything else. This was a running car but I turned it into a project. It will have a few OT...
Bear in mind that the glass in it may be a copy of a copy.....etc. and might not be the best possible fit in the frame. I like to assemble the...
I started with a defunct SW Southwind heater and built this. It has a Ford truck heater core. The blower will be up behind the dash and out of...
Well, back in '68 I had beautiful '49 Packard with a straight 8 and Ultramatic trans. It was a great road car (ask the man who owns one) but I...
Anti-seize has a lot of metal in it; probably not desirable for electrical contacts.
Looks like 2 different cars. The first one is a 28-29 A and the dark one in REDO's post is a 26-27 T.
Completely agree with what you've done; I hate continental kits except on Continentals. If I had your car (and an unlimited expense account) I'd...
Many complaints about excessive play are the result of improper installation. The steering box has only one spot where there is no play; that is...
The Morgan in my avatar was done with it. It came out great and my painter, who normally does Porsches with Glasuerit or PPG, really liked it
Well, that's a classic symptom for a dragging clutch or pilot bushing. Does it go into reverse easily without grinding?
Yep, that's exactly what my pal and I did when swapping a GMC into his '39 Chevy coupe (in 1959). We put the rad in front of the flanges on 3/4"...
They were built here in Santa Cruz by Dick Williams, who sadly (I believe) is no longer with us. He was a f'glas expert and his bodies, mostly...
More crashes than cars in the "race".
It might be possible but I'd never feel comfortable riding on them and you would probably need to take too much off anyway if they rub now. You...
So we all snicker when we see a rice rocket with a coffee can exhaust tip and multi blade wipers, but this cheesy piece of bling is "cool" just...
Well, some of the AC guys get their panties in a bunch if you suggest using anything but "official" AC fittings, but properly fitted comp fittings...
Not Ford; looks like a Dodge or Plymouth to me.
Displace the air with a neutral gas (nitrogen, argon etc.) make the lid tight, invert it once before storage. Forget the ziplock.

While it's running, wiggle each little bit of linkage gently and individually to see if you can locate the bind.
[QUOTE=" However he won’t share any of that unless I agree to sell it to him, go figure). Tell him you'll be happy to sell it for $60K.
That's ugly but fixable. Establish some good reference locations, cut another inch out to even everything up, glue it back together for a truly...
Not British. This is actually a much better system than splines.
Separate names with a comma.
