Either they wern't done right or you haven't seen very many. I've seen a lot of them repaired that way and have never seen one leak.

Just this last spring I dug out my 34 3 window that I last drove in 64. I built an engine for it and hope to have it running next summer. It is a true time capsule of how these cars were built and run.

If you are going to build a race engine and run it on fuel it is going to get expensive. For a driver it doesn't have to be. I agree with the fellows that said there is a lot of overkill. Start with a decent core,replace what needs to be replaced and leave the rest alone. Last fall I bought a...

Thanks for the replies.

Been there done that.

Harbor Freight sells an inexpensive HVLP gun that does an acceptable job with some practice. They also sell moisture traps.

Another thing I've encountered is if there is a rip or tear in the rubber boot on the master cyl,dirt and crud will accumulate and eventually build up to the point that it will not allow the piston to return all the way.If none of the components have been changed and the brakes were working, the...

A couple years ago a guy called looking for a part and I agreed to sell it to him because I had several. He wanted to look at some of my other stuff so I took him out to one of the sheds. He started with how much for this? I told him that nothing in the shed was for sale because it was parts I...

Not saying it couldn't be done but I don't think it is feasable.

I would like to buy some wallhanger speed parts for flathead Fords. Heads,manifolds,etc. Can be cracked,welded or warped if the price is reasonable. Thanks

Until you can find replacement parts,braze up the worn ones and file to shape. That will last for about 50 years and you should be able to find new ones in that time.
