So I found all these model a plaques… Do any of these mean anything to anyone? Long story short I got carried away on a local auction and bought a bin of model a parts. I’m a later Ford guy so no idea if any of this means anything or if it has value. Not really looking to sell. I’d rather look...

Haha. Me too!

Thanks. Some more thoughts on paint. Dead horse>beat it! I’m all about painting cars. Painted my vw bus (myself…turned out nice) after discovering someone had done a repair in the past and painted half of it. Since it was not 100% original, I painted it. Hundreds of hours of sanding and bla...

Sterling auto interiors out of Elizabeth Colorado.

Thanks yall. It will never be painted by me. Well I have learned to never say never but there are zero plans to ever paint it. I live in a very dry climate and it is in a garage. I had a vw bus with similar patina and stored in the same condition. It looked the same 10 years sitting in my...

I posted on jalopy but some of you aren’t over there. Yall helped me a lot with various issues over the last few years. Thank you. I wanted a somewhat period correct looking hot rod originally. But with interior choices these days, I had to go custom. Check it out. Car is now pretty much done...

Woah. Looks like 40 standard grilles are available again? Am I mistaken that a few months ago they were not available? Kind of tempting….if I ever get my car back.

Piggybacking on Tubman’s comment. Is it an electric fuel pump? If so maybe it’s on a different hidden switch as well.

I could not solve my overheating at idle problem on my rebuilt engine (driver over 1000 miles before giving in). Tried multiple new radiators, timing, various thermostats and on and on. Electric fan fixed my problem day 1 and it’s been driving bliss ever since. Even on 100 degree days. I only...

Wow, if I was paying attention I would have bought that (maybe haha). Edit. Ok I got excited for a minute. I think kube is on to something. I actually went back and looked closer.

Bored and stroked. I enjoyed that info very much. Thank you!

I bought from max. Super helpful and fast shipping. He recommended jets and power valves too and it all works great.

I bought some of the nystrom clamps when they first came out (just a few months ago if I recall correctly). I haven’t installed them yet. Let me know if anyone wants detailed pictures of them. They are not installed yet as my car is at the interior shop.

Love my e fire. I switched to a stock crab distributor because I was bored (I don’t remember the real reason I decided to try to go stock….probably because any time I had any issue with my engine, everyone blamed the efire…yet the problem has never been the efire) and I see no difference. I’ll...

Thanks kube. I’m not completely crazy yet.
