Finally down to the last step of frame prep - filling holes, removing extraneous brackets and adding new ones, cleaning up welds, etc. Then off...
Of course we all know a 4" narrower axle requires a 4" narrower spring. And naturally I would have a 2" narrower spring in my storage shed, but...
I then set out to find someone to straighten the axle. A local truck shop took it assuring me they could do it. After six weeks they had been...
I wanted to drill the '48 axle that had come on the car. It was badly bent as well as twisted and would require straightening so I decided to...
It's hard to believe that it has been two years since I last updated this thread. I don't get a lot of time to work on this project, so progress...
Used Water Wetter in my road race car for 15 years with aluminum radiator and no problems. Can't say how much cooler it ran as I never used...
When i first got married I got $20 a week for car parts and could only buy something when I had saved the cash. I hid my money inside the paper...

Where in North AL? I'm in Madison and there are quite a few HAMBers in this area. WELCOME to the H.A.M.B. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B....
From the inside of the rail you see the two nuts for the lower edge of the gusset plate. The nut on the top of the rail is for a gas tank mounting...
Be glad to. Will get in the next day or two.
Is this the 'gusset' you are asking about? This picture is from a '34 5-window coupe, original body on its original frame. I don't think the...
My full hooded '34 has sat in stopped traffic in 90+ degrees for a half hour with no problem. Am using a 16" Flex Fan an inch and a half from the...
I used plain old Help! brand retainers from Autozone in mine.
We got my wife's '34 from her favorite uncle. The picture is of the car, the uncle and the aunt who bought it for him about the time they got it....
Amen to that. Interesting side note. My son, who is a long time Ford now Toyota mechanic, told me Ford and Honda had problems with brake...
Optical illusion. The bottom part of the bolt you are seeing does not include the thread and thus appears smaller in diameter.
Here is the replacement for the bolt that backed out. I don't think it is going anywhere. Thanks for jogging my memory Squirrel. I agree the...
Yep, that's a Fat Man Mustang II setup with tubular control arms and coil spring and separate shock.

OTB Gear has them. http://www.otbgear.com I didn't see them on the website but they told me on the phone they had them. Give them a call.
I'll be there again. My neighbor has promised to bring his '48 pickup. See ya there (weather permitting).
The axle sat in that frame shop on Church St for a couple of months, he couldn't do it off the car. Thanks guys, I talked to Big Moe on Friday....
I have a '48 Ford front axle I need straightened and do not have access to a press to straighten it myself. Anyone know where I could get it...
