I agree with Corn Fed, filler panels for an Australian '33/'34 Ford. How long are they? Very rare items. My '34 roadster is an Australian car and...
Back in 1977 I traded four beat up '30 Model A fenders for a real clean, unmolested, '32 frame. I then mounted the left-over Model A roadster...
Fellow HAMBer Fuzzy Knight called me early this morning to inform me of Pat's passing, a hell of a way to start the day! I first met Pat in '73...
I agree. I have Walkers in both my 34's. Put one in the coupe in 1985, re cored it 2013 after 100,000 miles. Installed one in the roadster in...
That thing adds a whole new meaning to the term "tractor aircraft". Actually looks like getting it back on the ground would be easy other than...
I flew helicopters and vintage airplanes for many years.
[ATTACH] Actually there are TWO "never sell" cars in our family. I discovered my '34 3-window in 1973 as an old race car and it was love at...
In 1979 I purchased the body, frame and sheet metal for my '34 roadster at the LARS at the old Great Western Exhibition Center. Will be there...
Going for the first time. Don't have a '32 so we'll be taking my wife's [ATTACH] '34 roadster.
Just ONE more Loose Wheel story. In 1982 I was driving my '34 coupe at 60+mph in heavy traffic on I-5 in San Diego when my right rear tire...
My 3-window that I've been driving for 45 years, an American flag and a pretty girl. Don't see much that needs explaining!
I was set up at the Pomona Swap Meet many years ago and the guys directly across from me had a nice '29 Model A roadster body for sale. On the...
A few weeks ago I was assisting a friend of mine sell a very nice '38 Ford convertible sedan mild custom at a major auction. The vehicle...
4-71 for early ('49-'62) Cadillac! I'll buy the first one you make.

John, thanks for taking good care of George's truck. He and Nancy have been great friends of ours since the Over the Hill Gang was formed in...
Been following this thread but haven't replied as I didn't think my experience was any big deal. However, I'd decided that maybe it might help...
67, pushing 68 in a couple months. Got to grow up in Los Angeles surrounded by hot rods in the 50's and 60's. Made it to my teenage years and...
Great thread, lots of info and references. I am also putting together a '61 vintage 390" to install in my '34 3-window. My coupe had a 331"...
racer-x, PM sent.
My girlfriend/wife of the past 47 years has always supported and participated in my vehicle activities. The '34 roadster in my avatar belongs to...
Regarding rear tire size. I'm running a 255R 70/15 on a 7" wide wheel. The tire fills the fender opening nicely, puts about 8" of thread width...
I realize I'm going to raise the ire of some folks on this forum, but the fact is that I grew up in Los Angeles in the fifties and saw a lot of...
Generally I find that other folks either enjoy the sight of my old cars (thumbs up/waves/etc.) or just ignore them. I can't think of any...
I guess you could say that the car found me. In the early 70's I had just finished my dream car, a 1940 Ford coupe with a hot nailhead Buick 401...
My name is Bill and I live in the San Diego area. I've been a fan of this site for awhile, but just recently decided to become a member. I've been...
