Thanks everyone for the help. I have follow up questions. I appear to have 2 passenger front backing plates. They don't look different (except...
Thanks for the replies, seems quite clear now. I guess the recessed corners in those rings clear the other two backing plate retaining bolts. I...
I'm collecting together all the bits for a juice brake conversion on my Model A which is an interesting exercise in England... Anyway, I picked...
Anyone got a link to this book?
I wouldn't say I'm dead set on it but in the short term it's a quick, cheap and neat fix. I'll reconsider when I get itchy and take the car...
So I pulled the carb off, as soon as I touched it fuel was leaking out.... Here's the victim: [ATTACH] It feels like someone dismantled it to...
Thanks everyone for the tips. Hopefully it should be a simple enough fix. Fingers crossed I don't need to take the tank off though :confused: I...

Dunno about a build thread, who wants to watch years of rust removal and undoing other people's bad repairs? o_O
I just read most of this thread, so jealous of this gorgeous car. It's really tough to build a traditional rod in England because we just don't...
Oh, and I'm looking for a finished model a, my projects progress too slow and I need a driver!
Just signed up (obviously I guess!), not sure why I haven't before. Got a 69 Mustang that you all aren't interested in and a 49 Pontiac that I'm...
