Projects She's Dirty , but well rested

Just dug out my poor old girl after a 10 year slumber in the back of my shop.
V8 60 hp , 40 front and rear with volvo disc brakes on the front , soon to be hamb friendly brakes though !!!
Not running , but was when it was put there , master cylinder is dry as well .
Will get it home soon , didnt bring the trailer today . Had to move 20 skids of materials outside to get her out ...
To be continued ....

 

Gonna need more than car duster for That! Sounds like a nice little T, can't wait to see her cleaned up.

 

good potential

 

That's one of cars that gets a bath once every twenty years need it or not.

 

Super neat car. To nice to hack up in my opinion.

No offense...

 

No car is to nice to hack up

 

Great car! That one definately deserves to be put back on the road.

Sent from my SM-G950W using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

It already has the v8 60 , and 40 driveline
Installed in it !!!

 

Really neat car!!

 

Can we discuss how to best wash it?

 

So how old are those non-Hamb friendly Volvo brakes?

 

The non hamb friendly volvo brakes are late 70' s early 80's

 

I love that. I bet it got plenty of looks when a stock looking T goes by with a nice V8 exhaust burble.

 

Confuse's people even more when you open the hood as most people have never seen a v8 60 hp flathead .

 

Super cool dirty or not! Gary

 

Neat! Besides brakes, what's the plan?

 

Wash, fix what is required, drive.

 

There was a "stock" Model A coupe with a V8 60 kicking around here for a few years. I always thought that was a cool combination, but a V8 60 in a T tub is cooler!

 

The plan ......
Wash , fix what is required and drive !!!!

 

That is a cool sleeper, until you start it. I like your plan.

 

Dusty , not rusty...

 

be nice to see a pic of the v8 60 !

 

Gonna bring it home hopefully tomorrow.
Start getting her cleaned up , and seeing what she needs . Will post more pictures then !!!

 

Well got her up on the trailer , stopped by the car wash on the way home .
Who the heck washes their car in this weather ??

 

Looks a whole lot better with a bath. Really a nice looking ride .

 

Who knows more info on the Volvo disc brake deal????

 

Try Googling Volvo Disc brakes on a Ford Axle there is a link

 

For better or worse, I have them on both ends of my roadster.
Certainly not "trad" by today's standard, but it was cutting edge back when the how-to article came out in R&C. And it WILL stop.

 

Got a few pictures of the brakes , my father put these on the car in the early 80s , never did ask what year or model .
I will be removing the wheels to service the brakes , although I may put the 40 drums back on the axle .
Never looked closely today but appears the brackets are welded to the spindles

 

I wouldn't change a Damn thing with the brakes... They look original to the car imo, it's not sum metric speedway "stuff", Awesome car!
