@ekimneirbo , thanks, I was going to add comment on ramp angles, etc, but you did.
Actually, I like both versions.
That's good that those pieces are available. Many moons go, I picked up the original pieces that a fellow had taken off to back-half a 37 coupe,...
In most cases, I'd rather buy driver quality original parts, than reproduction stuff.
Had a broken motor mount boss on a Dodge LA engine. Cut a similar shaped piece from an exhaust manifold and prepped that for welding to the block....
There used to be a guy that sold good frames, out of Nebraska.
The bracket for kickdown cable for the Quadrajet(4 bbl bracket is different from 2 bbl), and the correct "pin" on the throttle arm, are all you...
Hope you do drive it there , that's the best feeling. Just out on the road.
Well, that's not good then.
On a slightly positive take, at least it's only the head surface and not the block too.
Thanks for posting.
Looks good from here. I have friends who paint on a regulr enough basis; they always plan on cutting and buffing, so you're on course. Maybe you...
As @RmK57 stated above, you need the smaller diameter flexplate, with proper balance to use that C4/bell.
Beat me to it @Hnstray
@krylon32, Hear you on the Speedway stock/shipping issue. Buddy here ordered a Ford 9" rear from them and it took forever, as they would get his...
We know it now, though. Wish we could dial it back a bit, to those times, when we started.
I heard there was only one contestant, and you still made runner-up.
A friend of mine used the Maverick rear and CE springs in his 36 Tudor, sway bar mounting had tight clearance to the wheels he was using. But, did...
@4bangerbob thanks for looking and posting this manual.
I took a look, and couldn't find anything either. If you post a picture of them, maybe I can find somewhere else. Sometimes, the SKU will cross...
Can you post the SKU number for Princess Auto item ; we have one locally now.
From a thread in 2022.
Don't think they have websites, hopefully someone here will post there contact info. The other fellow that does repop panels is Tom Bay. If I can...
Look for Don Smart, or McPherson(Kansas) for Model 40 parts.
I know you're just wondering why, so I'll ask if the line is spliced in the passenger compartment? May have had pressure gauge, or primer bulb in...
Put a wanted ad on HAMB, check eBay. There were some fiberglass reproduction companies, not sure what's around now. But, 1937 and 38 shared...
That 37 4 door looks pretty good. I've never seen dual side mounts on those, but regular fenders should be easy enough to obtain, and clean up the...
Where do you get pancakes with maple syrup in Detroit? Thinking of making a drive down this year.
I put a brace(wood 2 X 4) under the nose of the engine to take the strain off of the mounting plate end.
From interney search, see if this 1929 Essex matches up.[ATTACH]
