The Jalopy Journal
If the son wants the car just go to the state police and show them the bill of sale you got from the farmer. The farmer is in more trouble than...
There's a place in Honeybrook, Pa. that does water jet cutting. My son-in-law works there. BenCo Technology. You can google them.
Would a guy who restores license plates be able to do it?
Check with Northern Tool. They have anvil sets but I'm not sure if they fit H/F.
It's right around 49". I also measured the spring perches on an "A" rear, and it's close. It might actually work with an A or T spring.
Thanks guys. You nailed it. Using the info all of you gave me, I did a thorough web search and came up with this. The 1958-64 housings were in...
What rear do I have here? The guy I got it from said he got it with a project car he bought, but didn't have any info on it. He didn't even...
I'm not sure. I'll have to give them a closer inspection before I lay down any cash. Thanks for every ones help.
I have a chance to buy what I believe to be a 1939 Ford rear. It has hydraulic brakes, spring hangers on the backing plates, and the wide 5 bolt...
Your trucks coming together nicely Jerry. Glad you're feeling better too.
Great job Flop. Coupe's looking real good. It sort of sounds like everyone is curious about your metal-working skills and the steps you take...
Gary, i'm not going to rod it. Not sure if I wanna keep the wooden bed or go back to original rumble/trunk lid.
Here's pics
Here's mine I picked up this past summer. Amazingly straight and rust-free. It had been parked in a garage since 1958. I was told that the wooden...
Some states only require an out of state title to be accompanied by a bill-of-sale. Some, only a bill of sale and no title. Call your DMV and ask...
I don't know why you guys are making a big deal about this. If the state of Illinois needs to see a number stamped into the body or chassis that...
I'm not bashing anyone on here, but I do agree with Roadster Jones. Early cars and truck such as the model T and model A had an "engine" number...
I'm not a fan of HF stuff either. My brother just bought one against my advise. He said it works great...but he never owned a welder before. You...
It could be a "bait" car. Last summer, there were a bunch of broken down cars along a major route here in Pa. They would mysteriously disappear....
Spent 4 hours today freezing my @ss off at the local u-pull-it. Needed to get some parts for my daughter's O/T car which met a fence a few weeks...
Reading Pa's craigs list. [email protected]
Are you sure you even need a recessed firewall? Most guys that recess use a sbc and need the clearance for the dizzy. Your dizzy is in the front.
I wouldn't mess with plywood. It's hard to bend and won't take steam well. If you build a radius "buck" and glue very thin layers of veneer and...
Thanks everyone for their input. I'm not planning on building a high horse power engine. I did say "stock" rebuild in one of my earlier posts....
...so if I found a flathead v8 out of a 1951 ford p/u for 400 bucks...complete, except for the fuel pump, that would be a good price if the block...
Oh, and how much money are we talking to do a stock rebuild if it doesn't require any machining and I do all the work myself?
Thanks guys. Anything else I need to consider? What about different transmissions. What all fit or can be used with adapters? Can a modern manual...
I'm only in the planning stages of my '31 ford coupe build but i've been thinking about what to use as an engine. I like the looks and sound of a...
Why can't you just make your own slapping file by heating and bending a regular flat file? Or would that mess-up the file's hardness?
And I thought I was the only one that used google to find old tin. Just this weekend I googled the rolling hills of my rural Pennsylvania hometown...
