From my experience, after soaking for a month or more in tyranny fluid, PB Blaster and anything else I had it finally took a piece of landscape...
Great job on the pics. I only took one. Hope someday my boys appreciate this one.
I ordered mine from J.C. Whitney.

Saying prayers for you and your family. I can only imagine the pain your in.
One more thought, I believe that there is an all Ford swap meet in Columbus Thanksgiving weekend. It's at the State Fairgrounds. I've not been to...
I've been to the winter swap meet once. It's been several years, but at that time all the vendors were inside the big "H" shaped building. No one...
A similar but smaller scaled test at home took 7 days and then a light wire brushing. Worked great.
Can anyone explain what "undersquare design" means and how it relates to torque? Also, if the center main bearing is a weak link, are the main cap...

Here's mine. Leather couch was supposed to be used to recover the Model A seat, til the wife sat on it. Now it's garage furniture.
Before the filing and sanding, it was starting to look like steel underpants for a fat girl. Seriously though, I envy your talent.
Now that's motivational! I hope hear that same beautiful sound later this year. Thanks for posting.
You've just gotten some great advice. Do not sell that frame. The small amount a Model A frame is worth is not worth the Royal PITA that might...
Count me in. Here's my '30 on '32 frame. It's gonna have a 276" 8BA with a T5 5 speed and '58 Fairlane 9".
Back to the sharply cut wire ties. Grab the wire tie with linesman's pliers even with where it passes through the locking end. It will twist off...
