No cylinder numbers. There is an 'L2' stamped on the rods and clamps, and it looks like someone hammered an ice pick into the sides of both. I'm...
I'm not sure, I'll check it out.
The flathead has 'high duty Ford 0' Pistons that were popular in the fifties. There is no noticeable offset, and I'm pretty sure the '29A D' on...
Nevermind on the radius rods, I figured it out. Surprising, right?
Wheeldog57, my friend brought me a bunch of scrap charging tubes from work, I might see about bracing the crossmember with those if they're strong...
I just happened to find the perfect rear end today. One of the guys I know sent me a message and said he had a 1939 ford banjo he would give me...
It got warm so I decided to start rebuilding the 59A that I bought. I opened her up to find that she had brand new Pistons, valves, the seats look...
Thanks, patmanta! The bottle jack method looks like it should take care of it. It'll keep me from weakening the frame with my crappy welds.
I just ran into a problem on my rails. The drivers side rail is twisted inward at the bottom between the rear crossmember and the trans mount. I...
He said I can take as much time as I need to think about it. I'll go take a look at it next weekend and decide from there. I drew up a pickup in...
The guy bought it from the guy that I bought my frame from, and if I remember correctly, that is the original body for my frame. The cab looks...
A guy I know just offered me a 28/29 Ford Tudor for 1000, the tudor has been shortened into a pickup cab. I'd like to lengthen it back into a...
He sold it. There's a guy down the road from me, I think I've talked about it before, he's got a pickup frame, full suspension, cowl, and a...
Either this guy doesn't like me, or he sold it. He talked to me for a few minutes over text like he still had it, and he just bluntly said 'It's...
It looks like there is actually a 28 coupe with the top chopped off for 1200 listed now
That's what I'm doing right now. I'm planning it out while it's cold and I can't work on it. I'm drawing everything out and seeing which route...
Does anyone know of any wooden buck patterns for a scratch model a body? If not, I can find a cowl and design my own off of that.
I'm in Pampa, tx. How much do you want for it?
Nice car, Gomez! I'm expecting the good book to come in today.
Last night I decided to tear the 59a down a little to see whats going on inside(which it looks like someone has replaced the original lifters with...
a nice suprise
Uh-oh..
No, I haven't gotten the book yet. I'm waiting a bit before I do. Doesn't sound too bad. I didn't know about the vendor list until you told me,...
I'll handle the driveline and suspension as it comes along. I need to box the frame and reinforce it before I do anything. Wolfes Metal, right?...
So I forgot about this sprocketed half rear the guy who sold me the flathead gave to me. I'm not sure what year it is, but patmanta helped me out...
It's rough. Very rough. That isn't how the headers will be, and there will be an exhaust pipe leading to the back. I just drew it up real quick.
Rough Concept by JOHANSON posted Oct 16, 2014 at 9:45 AM This is about what I'm looking to do, with a few added touches to make it my own....
Yes, it's set up for parallel. I thought about it, and I've just about decided to just weld together a couple of pieces of angle iron bolt it on...
