I do not have the knowledge to understand airflow over a body, but a thought from the limited stuff I do think I understand... The louvers next to...
@NealinCA is reproducing F1 boxes as well.
F1 box has the steering column come out the 'bottom' of the box. You get a little more header/exhaust room with the lower exit point of the...
Stock Model A is 5 degrees. But big and littles will change that. You'll only get so much adjustment before you start putting the spring in bind...
Was the overhang on this valve cover on purpose, or are the valve covers different lengths from side to side? (Not a Hemi guy at all).
Likely, you'll want to do something like this to drop the wishbone ball a bit. (This picture reflects mounting a wishbone to a later 39 trans, but...
Stock, the Model A transmission retains the wishbone ball from the top side. On a 32 chassis, the wishbone ball is retained by the transmission...
Mechanical brakes, so 36-38 diagram here.
Pretty sure the coupe that @Pete built a few years back used a wheelbarrow for the firewall... Or maybe it was a track nose that he built out of a...
I'm in Tavistock. Not far from you at all. Little closer than @Stogy in Ottawa for your banger.
Lots of car guys in our area of the world. A number of traditional hotrods in London and Kitchener areas. Welcome aboard.
hahha I was going to say... why reinvent the wheel if the freeze plug gets you 90% of the way there.
Wide 5's didn't start till '36. (36-39). Front spindles and drums are one-offs for 36, whereas 37-39 interchange. 36-39 rears interchange to my...

Damn. Sorry to see this. Condolences to his friends and family.
I frequently forget that you still own this car...
While this thread is now 9 pages deep, I'd weigh in that... HRP - your initial post is the spirit I'd hoped this thread might have taken when I...
I just add 3% and send it if I'm the buyer. Even if they say PayPal F&F. I'll pay the fee for my protection.
I had a set of fenders off my 29, spare tire mounts for both left and right front fenders. I had an idea to make drop in toolboxes using...
Little touches like this are phenomenal. Really set the car apart.
Seems like most guys do... 'day I bought it', 'day I sold it', etc. Some of the pictures are self explanatory.
Super cool! I love little gems like this. As for a use... Overnight bag. Bowling ball bag. First aid kit. Possibilities are endless. Up here in...
I love the dark red kustom shirt you did about 10 years back. Still have it and wear it often. I like my white shirts as, but the world could use...
bump!
I've slowly been amassing a collection of records with hot rod cover art. I have batches of them posted on my IG account. Surprising mix of music,...
Just cut 1/8" off the front legs of your jack stands. Should compensate :D
My sentiments exactly.
A thing of beauty. I always love seeing the shop in the background of photos. Great to see some pictures with the shop as the focus.
