My 30 tudor was my first car purchased back in 1965 while in the Navy. All these years I had to put up with floor boards that the previous owner made. Finally after 59 years I decide o replace them with correct ones. After searching this forum and others I still can't find a blueprint of the...

Should be enough in 1 qt. to do two. That is if you have covered all the inside with a first coat and no puddles. I usually will pour in 2 qts of sealer at a time in the tank I'm working on. I do this because it's easier to coat the inside with more. But you don't have to. I do about 2 to...

29Cabriolet PM sent. Check your messages

You can remove the sealer with MEK- Methyl Ethyl Ketone. Once you clean the tank with marine clean do as RobertB said with the screws or even a length of chain. For the rust you can PM me. I'll pass on what I use to clean out the crud and rust. Cost is only a couple of dollars for what I...

Stan, When building a house you have to start with a good foundation. Where did you come up with the Vinegar? Take the tank to a radiator shop and have them boil it. You need to get all that crud and rust out of the inside of the tank. Including the old sealer. If you don't. You've...

I forgot one other thing. Before you put in the gas gauge float. Coat the float with a light coating of grease.

sphooch, Make sure you don't let any pooling in the tank. I will lightly coat the threads with a small amount of great so the sealer will not stick to them. If you having the tank boiled out you don't need to use the marine clean that Bill has in his kit. When you turning the tank over...

I've been using Bill's stuff since 1972. When they had 100% gasoline. In 74 when they changed the gasoline the sealer in the tank started to come off. By that time Bill had changed his sealer over to handle the alcohol. Where problems arises now with the sealer is people putting in...

Check out the covered bridges in Geauga and Ashtabula County in Ohio. We went through at lest 14 in one day. This is about half of them I'm told. Would have done more but there was a few winery stops too many.

There was a small airline in Port Clinton, Ohio who had a fleet of them till sometime in the late 70 or early 80s. Then sold most off. The Ford Tri-motors were use to transport ice fishermen to the Islands in the winter and passengers and freight in the summer. I believe they still have a...

Brake liner rivet tool?????

This may have been posted before but it would be nice to see how long we hold on to something we love. I bought my 30 A in the summer of 1965. I've had other A's and sold all but the 30 because of being my first car and the history that it has. Who still have their first A and how long?

Any wear on the valve stems? I also saw the three holes drilled on the top of one of your pistons. Someone trying to balance? As for removing the head I always follow the pattern middle to out and opposite sides to not warp the head.

I have in the past entered my 30 in show but I put a sign on it saying it's for go not for show. Last Saturday I entered my A in Wheels and Wings in Va. But I let them judge it. After all I haven't done anything to it since I restored the car in 1972. This is the car my kids learned to drive...

2X with Kevin, Staller, 32forddump. As for Tal Strip I believe it is no longer on the market. I tried for weeks to find and order without any luck. I would suggest a full body dip and I believe there is a company up in Mich. that does it. I used Ready-Strip in Toledo a few years back...
