Very nice handiwork!

I spoke to someone not too long ago about his flathead. Seems he searched all over for a turnkey motor but the prices were in the nosebleed section. He ended up buying a completed short block from H&H for about $3600. He finished all the fun stuff himself and said it ran great. I’m sure you’ll...

I agree with Bigfoot.

Depending on how long ago the shoes were replaced could be a problem. I was just looking at info that said asbestos was still being used in brake pad manufacturing through the 1990's and probably longer. Be careful and do some detective work.

Napa carries a fuel line resistant to breakdown called Blockade. Has a green stripe on it. FWIW..

Ah, a '35, my favorite! A lucky man you are.

Great looking car and stance! What tire sizes are you running?

Happy Birthday Vic. It's been a while since the Ardun. The Brown brothers.

I'm with RonnieRoadster, sprayed my copper gaskets with a couple of coats of silver paint. No leaks and torqued down perfectly.

Thanks for the innovative tutorial!

I think the track drops on to a little hook at the bottom of the steel channel. If the panel is off and the seat is out you can see it from the side. Fronts have a screw in the top of them on the flat of the channel. They can take some muscle to pull them out. Hope this helps.

Will jacking up the front of the motor a couple of inches facilitate getting the left header on? As you lower the motor you would be able to see where the "contact" points are. I put a set in my '40 Sedan and they went on with just a little fiddling. I bought my Fentons from Patrick's in the mid...

We can piss and moan, but it's hard to disregard the passion. It all becomes part of the game and you can choose being in or out. I remain "in". I know the rules and it's pay to play, but sometimes you get a lucky break.

As I see it, it's like there are 2 economies. One economy for selling cars and the seller gets beat up for every nickel, and the other economy is for buying parts. The parts chasing and buying always seems to go to the top of your budget or completely out of it. I like to sell and buy from...

Beautiful, just beautiful. Nice going Steve!
