I have met a few folks and have made some good contacts but the meeting times are hard for me to make with my kids schedule. They have all been very helpful with what I have started doing. I guess I don't want to continually bug them with questions and stuff and still trying to get comfortable...

That's good stuff there.

Ok I know what and where the manifolds are. Didn't think about them much since I am replacing the exhaust manifold at some point. My grandpa was very creative with creating a heating system. Also thanks for letting me know I am at least heading in the right direction.

Sorry for not know all of the correct terms for things but do you mean pulling the head and cleaning? I have turned the motor and it spins free very easy but didn't think about doing that before I turned it.

Good Morning All, In trying to get my 1930 up and running after 30+ years I was wonder about the next logical step in getting it fired up. I have made sure the coolant system is good, pulled and cleaned out the oil pan, gave it a good degreasing, and am starting to test the fuel system...

Yep. I already have talked to a welder. Fairly easy fix.

Found a pattern online and was able to get all new boards done up. Very few modifications needed. Thankfully I had a master carpenter helping me out. Thanks for all of your help and advise so far. Just a little at a time.

Thanks for all the information. As a follow up the radiator has been flushed and checked and is in great shape. Now the crack in the frame right under the radiator is a whole different beast.

Good evening folks. I started removing parts from the engine compartment since I got my old boy on tires and rolling. Everything going smooth so far but got a radiator question. The car hasn't ran for more than a few seconds at a time in 30 years but it was full of coolant still. I think it is a...

Tom does have a good idea. Too bad I still have to jack it up to get my fat old butt under it to work on. Still think I will start looking for some carpet.

Good Morning All. Finally putting wheels and tires back on my 30 Tudor so I can roll in and out of the shed to work on. My shed (which is basically a very large enclosed carport) just has a dirt floor so when I put it back in and it is going to be a little while before I roll it back out should...

I purchased mine from the local Sutherlands.

Good Morning. I will pay to have them shipped. Have a great day.

After doing some more searching on the D Nut part I found some good posts from the past. I'm going to try the solder method (I don't have a welder)and grind the flanges down instead of trying to peen them. Seems easier to me than drilling and trying to re-tap them. It would also save me having...

Shows how much I don't know cause I didn't even think of that. Would still have to remove it to clean it up for welding. Have to wait till the kids are grown up and gone to do a complete job.
