I'm working on a '50's Spartan Mansion travel trailer at work. I am looking for some louvered aluminum screen for the HVAC unit in it. I've...
Dude, that bit about the Hex made me so happy I almost started to cry. It's the car that got me looking outside of my VW bubble :)
I don't have the words to express how much this sucks. Tuck's the whole reason I'm here, and his shop was truly an inspiration for me.
I've been wondering for awhile what the difference is between a positive ground voltage regulator and a negative ground regulator. Are the...
I'm working on a '39 Zehpyr. The speedo has 3/4 internal threads. I need an adapter to convert it to a standard 3/4 or 5/8 external thread....
This isn't that sound. This sounds like one very loose valve hammering even though they're all within spec.
No fuel pump pushrod on this engine, it's been converted to use an electric pump so the pushrod was removed. The owner said the car didn't make...
I'm working on a Ford 8BA, rebuilt not to long ago. It's got a Max-1 cam and adjustable lifters. I reset set all the lifters to the recomended...
The '39 Zephyr I'm working on has some scratches on the interior rearview mirror glass. They're pretty minor, but they'll bug the heck out of my...
It I understand Patrick2965's posts linked above(and it's entirley possible that I don't), as long as I can get the angles on either end of the...
Thanks for the replys and suggestions. We can't offset the engine/trans far enough to get the space we need. We're stuck with either a slight...
I'm working on a driveline swap at work. To get the engine and trans to fit, it would solve ALOT of problems if I could set the engine & trans in...
Don't disappoint me. You know what I'm talking about...
Choke...Cough...wipe coffee off screen...Yikes...I should take mine out of the garage and put it in a safe until I get the motor built :eek:...
I've got a steering wheel here from a '39 Zephyr that I want to have leather wrapped. Because it's a spoked wheel, I don't feel confident doing...
I'm working on a '50 Lincoln. It's been converted to 12V, but is still positive ground and converting to Neg ground isn't a possibility, the...
I've got the original clock from the '50 Lincoln here than needs to be rebuilt. It looks great, it just doesnt work. I also need it converted to...
Thanks for the pic. Definatly not the factory setup, but it looks nice and clean. is it still progressive, and do you know who made it?
No one can snap me a pic?
I'm swapping a factory Buick dual carb intake onto a '38 Straight 8. The intake setup came with some linkage pieces, but none of them line up in...
Thanks for the info, that's about what I figured I'd hear. I know my customer isn't going to want to pay for tube replacments, I guess I'll have...
I'm trying to get the original tube radio in the '50 Lincoln to work with the new (still + ground)12V system. I've got voltage reducers that will...

I'm looking for a '50 baby Lincoln wiring diagram, specifically the gauge cluster. I'm doing a 12V conversion, and need to know where to put the...
Thanks all for the info. What I'm getting is a definate "maybe." If it's not polarity sensative, that would solve a whole bunch of my problems....
Another question on the '50 lincoln I'm working on. We're doing a 12V neg conversion because the owner wants to have an ipod ready hidden stereo...
I need to recover a '50 Bably Lincoln seat. I want to use the stock material if I can so I don't have to recover everything. I'm having a heck...
Here's a pic from today. It looks better in the pic than real life, but it's still MUCH better than it was. Plenty shiney for a rusty old...
There isn't enough car left for a repaint. The body needs a serious amount of metalwork before it's paintworthy. I drive the car 40 miles daily,...
