All stuff is gone. Mods please delete!!
After more than 6 years I decided to start a build thread. I wanted an F-1 forever. Ive always been a truck guy. While people are fawning over the...
The radiator in my 48 sprung a leak. I've already had it patched a few times so I think it's time I pull the trigger on a new one. I've been...

Just got good news that the flathead block I bought last year checked out OK after a hot tank and mag. It's for my old truck and I don't want to...
When removing the hood trim on the side (two long pieces with the FORD emblem in between), I see that there are spring clips and some nuts on the...
These bolts that hold the rear fenders on...are they pressed in or something? I'm having a hell of a time getting them out. :rolleyes:
Just picked this up. The car at the tip top of my bucket list. Sure she's rough, but the shell is solid and it's a good builder. Probably won't be...
I read through a number of threads and didn't exactly find my answer, so here goes: A pretty significant percentage of my truck is covered in...
After getting "driver quality" used pieces off the net and realizing they're crap, I decided I'm just going to pull the trigger and buy...
First set looks like the Hartford Autorama, not sure of the year but if I had to guess I'd say 1960 or 61
First set: My grandfather chopped the roof on this '32. Belonged to a friend of his. The '55 Chevy belonged to a fellow that was up in the CT area...

My good buddy just became the steward of this car. It's his uncle's and we're tasked with getting it running and driving after a 20 some-odd year...
I'm just about 75% through with the body work on my truck, but the inside of the bed is covered in dents. The truck is not going to be a show...
I'm thinking of having a tonneau cover made up for my 48 pickup. Nothing fancy, just black soft cover with snaps. Anyone know of a decent place in...
[FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]I have an oil leak/pressure issue with my 8BA. It’s all stock with the original style mech fuel pump and all....
Ive been slowly gathering parts for a 2X2 regular dual install on my 8BA. So far I have two matching Holley 94 8BA cars, and an Edelbrock regular...
Is it necessary to drain the coolant out of the radiator when removing the intake on an 8BA?

I have a 48 F-1 with a stock 6V generator etc. The P.O. ended up hooking it up negative ground. It's been fine except that the amp gauge would...
I generally only like technical threads, but given the vast and infinite information on this board I usually end up getting drawn to the lesser 5%...
I've pretty much settled on the wheel/tire combo for my '48 pick up. I'm keeping the 15's with the 55=56 Desoto hubcaps (since scoring two more...
My latest acquisition. It's pretty rough looking right now. It sat outside for a number of years without a drivers side window or a back window,...
