I thought the same thing at first, turns out it works, it just doesn't render correctly. Scroll all the way down, the menu tree stays at the top....
https://www.weedetrstreetrod.com/ looks to be the new go-to source for this sort of stuff. Not sure why the decision was made to shut CE down,...
I'm hoping that they've sold all the IP to another vendor, it just doesn't make sense to me to shut down a profitable business. Eli
I want something VERY different, economical, and inexpensive! I like the '41-'48 Ford, plan on getting a Fordor, and my late father and I wrenched...
Just kind of thinking out loud, but has anybody pulled the 215 out of a '51 Pickup and dropped it in place of the flathead 6 in a '41-'48 Ford...
http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.504.htm#504.502 I added the bold, but running to the parts house or whatever should be...
Why was no attempt made to sell it whole?!?!?!? I talked to an uncle that was in the business, he figured it was worth at least a million dollars...
I just picked one of these up today, a pull from a '66 Ranchero that was converted to a 5-speed. Only $50, Craigslist score. I thought the...
Oddly enough, I think the 1984 switch is similar! Eli
There's a company called Gillespie Coatings that makes mil-spec flat and semi-gloss black. They're big in the Military Vehicle restoration field,...
Not 'traditional' - but will probably save a LOT of headache as they've designed pulleys to do exactly what you want:...
The 'Club Coupe' and Tudor Sedan used the same front doors, and the 'Business Coupe' and Fordor Sedan used the same front doors. Eli
Around 1991, I scrapped out a '46-'48 Ford Fordor that had suffered an engine fire that also burned under the dash and the headliner. Why is it...
I'm here, slowly trying to get back into the car scene - been out of it since soon after Prince's (the real one) closed. As mentioned above, don't...
I'm going to try for Friday, I'm tied up the rest of the weekend. Eli
The T-84 transmission was used in 'top shift' configuration in the MB/GPW 'Jeeps' and in 'side shift' configuration in the Studebaker M29/M29C...
What mounts are you using? Commercial or custom? I seem to recall the Poncho motor sharing parts with the 250/292, or the OHC head fits on a...
I'd probably put a magnet or few in or on the housing to catch some of what's going to coome lose. Eli
Hopefully these can give some ideas... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I've used that oil pan before on an OT swap, it's about as tight to everything as can be. With that said, I measured out a 429/C6 for a '48 Coupe...
I *think* Texas required both lights in 1940 - or they were standard. In over 30 years of being in the hobby, I've never seen a '40 without a...
I use off-the-shelf 15W-40 'Diesel' oil in all my flat-tappet engines, they have more anti-wear additives and more detergents and dispersants that...
I'm 39, my '48 Club Coupe came with later 15" wheels and a '49-'51 Mercury rear end - springs, perches, and all - welded in when my late father...
I think the CE Kit allows this without splitting the bones, might be easier. Eli
Humble this Sunday? Eli
That's gorgeous! I bet it'll sound fantastic, and you won't easily find another at a meet. Eli
The only 'aftermarket' superchargers based on the 53-series that I know are the Camden ones - only available today for Mazda engines - and the...
T-5 with an open drive, but mainly because I've broken 2 early Ford rear ends with a stock flathead. Eli
Uh... Chevy didn't make a Ranchero in 1959... or a 390... ever! Eli
If you really want to mess with them, ask for spark plugs for a '78 Dodge D150 with a 4.0 6-cylinder. I used to call around doing so when I sold...
