I don't recall it being to hard last time. Don't forget the bronze seats for the flare connections. They get worn over time and overtightened...
I love that Ranch Wagon!
I had a patient who was a B-17 and He-111 crew chief in the CAF. I know they can run on auto or manual lean/rich controls from the flight deck....
The P-47 service ceiling is listed as 42,000 feet. So I imagine the carbs had to be tuned to adjust the mixture with the wide range of operating...
Me too! But all my kits may violate Ryan's rule...especially M-word funny cars. I built a sorry rendition of the Blue Max as a kid and just got a...
Man, I know nothing about Model As. But all these cool Model A threads make me want a banger!
Mustang suppliers should have that. They have a cage nut like that going through the bottom of the lower rocker
Ugggh, I hate that butyl stuff. I have a 61 Falcon with a white headliner and I think I'll have to seal the gasket from the outside after roping...
The craziest thing I did was on an aircraft. Many military planes carry a system that ejects magnesium flares to decoy heat seeking missiles. For...
200 is a great motor and of course will be hydraulic lifter. There should be a milled boss on the left side of the engine block at the front right...
Best food truck name EVER: "Atacolypse Now" I was in traffic and couldn't get a photo.
Holy crap! I feel like I just read War and Peace haha. What an epic build!
In the Air Force we had tool kits that you signed out at the beginning of each shift. Every tool was in a foam cutout liner, right down to allen...
Sorry Ryan, I saw this and it reminded me I hadn't been on in a while.[ATTACH]
Nice, last time I checked you couldn't get mohair anymore, even from LeBaron. Just broadcloth, which works but isn't original for mine,
They never published any of my car pictures as a kid, haha. Time to get out the pencils!
Very cool! Maybe not on bias ply tires though haha
Used to always be a speed trap there at the bottom of the hill...I remember the hubcaps, you can't miss it heading south towards Ft Worth. The...
On my 41 flattie the replacement "short" pump and pickup interfered with the bottom of the pan. A little persuasion with a wooden fence post...
I've been following this thread since you posted the link in the old Fordbarn Carl. I love seeing your patience and craftsmanship. Trying to get...
Laramie Machine has a good reputation for building engines. I use Gary at McKims Upholstery for all my interior work. He has a dealer license...
Great work so far! I love the 300 six too, what an overlooked motor. I wish I had one in my OT truck instead of the 5.0!
Peanut butter on the snap traps, then embed that with bacon bits
I love your Shasta trailer HRR!
Groovybaby - Who in Denver can (and knows how) to do the turning and install the sleeves? I have galled races on my original, and the spare 41...
That's freakin cool! Just like George Bailey's
The FMX isn't a bad tranny to overhaul, just heavy as hell. Although you can pull it without the torque converter, it might be easier to remove...
0000 steel wool if nothing else works, will get primer overspray, tar and petrified bugs off without scratching
Luv those fat fendered Fords. Are you getting rid of a banjo rear? I could use a spare. Keep us posted on the build
As already mentioned, look at the many threads on Fordbarn, some of them mine. An option to offshore repro pumps is having your existing pumps...
