Booze was what took her so I'm well aware and solumnly appreciate your advice. I'm over the personal loss...moved 4 times in the past 4 months and just trying to focus on a resolution before my savings are tapped out. Hope to get back on the Model A...I'll never quit. I'm 52 yrs old tomorrow and...

Hi fellas. Some of you may remember my name. I haven't posted for over a year as my marriage went sideways. In a nutshell we lasted 31 yrs with the good being great and the bad no so much. I'm happier, broker & hopefully getting a tad wiser.... My good friend Lucky passed on this family...

I read Fordbarn every day. ...in fact life would be kinda lonely without it so I'm in...:)thanks Ryan:)

I do windshield repairs for a local funeral services company. Very likable people. One of the head guys told me ... "some folks don't like us, but we'll be the last to let you down"

I'm pleased with the Caswell copycad system. The instruction book takes you through every step and you'll discover variations in finish as you experiment with different metal preperation, current & emursion times. Time consuming indeed...but fun! Below, each pic shows the "dusty" untouched...

I always reach for cut polish or rubbing compound when I have stains on glass (the same stuff for polishing up old dull auto paint) Works fast to remove hard water deposits (water rings) from windows...leaving them silky smooth and easier to keep clean. Farecla G6 polish has worked the best so...

Is this the label? That's good old fashioned enamel. Buy some Enamel Reducer for industrial or farm enamel and you'll be spot on. (Not Acrylic enamel reducer or urethane reducer...you want Enamel Reducer) I know that Delstar acylic enamel would go "seedy" after a few yrs on the shelf...this...

Grinder stand. Solid as a rock. ......all worn out parts.

Loctite is good. Be extra careful with the uppermost plug (over the idle screw) as the thin casing is super easy to crack. The plugs in some kits are incorrect sized but it's easy to make them with a bit of brass on a lathe or even a drill chuck held against the bench with a hand file. Charles...

I'm one that doesn't like LED clear lights. I bought a cordless Snap/on trouble light which features probably a few dozen LEDs on a circuit board...nice bright light but for some strange reason it hurts my eyes. Working under dashes and hoods these lights are constantly flipping over and shining...

#1 I rodded mine from the bottom. There was quite a buildup of pebbles, rust chunks, wood, grease & feathers...yes feathers. Even though two radiator shops said it had excellent flow....I think it had 11 or 12 tubes plugged solid. #2 The tubes have a soldered seam which is extremely fragile...

Did you have the glass replaced? If so...make sure the arc matches the filler strip. In the event it's only rubbing at the centre that means they either changed the arc when pounding in the glass OR maybe it's not seated in the groove and actually pushing the channel downwards OR the glass may...

The original NAGS (referred to by skip) only lists the block size for slant window cars. Unfortunately block size is for cutting and billing info where it lists a square cornered piece required to make that window, taken up to the nearest even inch. You may need to make templates from a thin...

Have you tested that mod with a match?...just to make sure it's "safe" :D

Looks like a universal bung wrench for steel drums.
