My car is not at my residence, it is at my parents' house 200km away where I go regularly every 15 days, so it may take me a while to get the photos. On the other hand, my car was assembled in Europe and may have some differences from those assembled in the USA. The exhaust is certainly not...

Regarding the photos in post 6: The photo on the left is of a Ford (A 495) restored in the USA in which Gary Karr (Post #7) participated. The photo on the right is of my car. Apparently my car was assembled in Barcelona (Spain) and I'm starting to believe it's an amalgamation of versions...

Thanks J Franklin, I will be as prudent and pragmatic as possible!

thanks Johnbuckley, Unfortunately out of stock...

Finding seniors who understand what they are doing is very difficult, and the very few that exist, in any specialty, are unable to respond to requests and are very expensive! There are some who accept jobs, but as soon as you get there you run away straight away, they are opportunists (today a...

I am very grateful for your support I have a very small problem: I leave in Lisbon (Portugal - Europe) and finding someone who really knows about Ford A is very difficult and my car is 200km far away (my father´s home). On the other hand, importing directly is a bit complicated due to costs and...

Larry can you please post photo of the shell cutter? I'm looking for your photo JayJay and I'm trying to understand how to use the tool you designed. Is the intervention done from the outside of the drum or from the inside?

Precious help. Who knows, knows! Thank's

I need to replace the rear hub bolts of my Ford and acquired bolts A-1118 for my suite cast iron drums. Now I have a problem, the hub bolts don't hold on to the drum, they have a tangentially smaller diameter. I attach a photo, where you can see that the originals (right side) have a square...

I thank you for your commitment. I will also try the European suggestion. I attach new photos, where I notice a difference in the bottom of the body above the transmission in relation to the previous post of Randy.

Thanks updraught for the help, but the problem is figuring out which body I have in my car! As you can see there is a difference in how the top is fixed to the body: normally it is on the side, on mine it is on top, apparently like the prototypes and first examples. There is a photo of a similar...

I don't know how to identify it (and no reference of mounting location). The car is left-hand drive and I suspect it is from Barcelona (Spain), because it is the closest place, of course it could be from France, the second place in terms of distance o f Lisbon from where it was certainly sent...

It is clear that it is neither a scam nor a joke. I would be grateful if you take into account that I am not American, and despite being fluent in English, there are linguistic expressions that I do not master and this may cause some embarrassment. The metal top of my car was changed and the...

At this moment my biggest concern is identifying the body. I don't have much doubt at the top that it was adjusted locally as the environment was hostile, there were no roads and there was a lot of vegetation. I have the car in a garage in a country house, far from my apartment. As soon as I...

The car came from Angola (Africa) and now we are in Portugal (Europe).
