Hey all! I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find blueprints for the floor pans for a 49 ford fordor? I would buy the pre made pan kits but I'm a cheapskate, so I want to try my hand at doing it myself. Any help is greatly appreciated!

*THREAD CLOSED* Thank you! Looking for a 47-51 passenger 6 cyl. "H" flathead head gasket. Macs seems to be fresh out. Name your price and I'll see what I can do. PayPal only!

That would be wonderful! Thank you so much!

Hey everyone! I've come back with a question. Anybody know of an engine stand that will hold a flathead inline 6 engine? Or if anyone has blueprints to make one? i dont need it right away but ill be needing something to support it since I'm thinking of doing an engine swap in the old '49...

Oh gosh. I never have wanted to post this thread, but as the situation is as of now, I'm going to have to. I've always had a weird feeling of having to sell the beauty. But not this soon. I'm coming to you guys for help on what a reasonable price for the ford is. (I'll include pictures). I have...

Looks like i'll have to do what you suggested, ford3. Pulled the dipstick to recheck the oils color and yep, ive got water in there. Thanks guys for helping me out!

okay thank you! i will do check on that

Okay, so... I start up the 49 today and drive it out of the garage. I let it warm up at idle for a couple of minutes. I open up the hood and i find smoke/steam coming up out of the oil fill cap. I don't know if i should be worried, because i've never seen this before in my life. Any help will be...

That was really great to watch! i've never seen anything like that before!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! i want to wish a happy new year to everybody on the barn! Hope your new year is full of excitement and new projects with your cars! :D
