I have a 29 Sport Coupe and after some reading and several wrong parts for top/body I agree with the posts above... I think the time/money is one thing but how's it going to look and fit is another. D:cool:

Re: Would you use this brake rod? SOME things I enjoy rebuilding and even taking longer than it would ever take to replace... BUT STOPPING is not one of those areas.. replace and enjoy knowing it stops. Brake rods are too easy and cheap to replace. As with others... just my two cents.. OK...

Just NW GA or is NE Alabama ok too?

Those numbers are telling you about the battery... You have only listed the battery's output and total load the inverter can handle.... nothing about the inverters input requirements. But Let's start with output side--- 3000 watts @ 120 VAC is 25 Amps. Let's say for a start that the...

The Motor web site says they have been around since 1903... Man would love to have a Motor manual for 1929 Ford... I used them in the 70s (My Dad's actually)-- and still remember how detailed they were.

That's what I was thinking.... if you are measuring the difference between the correct .002 and .0035 them you are taking too much time looking :D.. Yeah I know "to each his own".. D :cool:

Interesting, very true---- never thought about it from that point of view..

Bob, this is like asking what you should do first when you get a car.. LOL With that said.. after all sanding is done, grinding is complete and welding primed-- I wipe the area down with Naphtha (get it at Lowe's or Home Depot for about $15 a gallon). But like others have said-- many...

I would use "foggin oil" (you can get it from any boat store) to spark in cylinders. Also if the gas was not drained out prior you will need something added to gas to get gum outta the jets (Fuel injector cleaner is what I use). Good luck D:cool:

Some one, some where will buy ANYTHING... I once had a yard sell and at the last minute decided that I would put a ton of Army equipment and uniforms out in a pile and post it for $2 a piece. Sold about half of what I had but sold every piece in that pile of junk. If they had wanted til the...

I agree and applause you doing the right thing. I have read and learned much from here and sometimes points are made rather strongly but you know--- THIS TOO SHALL PAST. :p Thanks for all the help. D :cool:

Tom, Agree that would scare the crap outta anyone-- MAX rating means MAX!!! I took screw plug out of mine and replaced with 1/4 pipe routed to a leg where I welded it (broke off an earlier one on my smaller unit). Put a 1/4 turn valve and a piece of hose (pipe does not have enough give to...

Given you have both answers here--- measure it to be sure-- I have seen vents of several types on both series of hoods. 28-29 is 26 3/4" top rib- front to back and 28 1/4" front to back on sides. 30-31 is 30 7/16" top rib and 31" front to back on the sides. D. :D

I had this problem a year or so ago... I painted a set of roof irons, after a few mins one wrinkled. Sanding it down, repainted and once again same thing. After much :mad:@!~$#^%& and a few @!$%#!%:confused:.. I called a friend who has more expertise. Here is how I got it correct.. 1. Sand...

The first list was nice and included much detail... I would disagree on the "No modifications are necessary to the starter"... It will last for a while and if not run much maybe several years, but using twice the voltage on the coil field and throw out is not a good idea. If you don't have...
