    Engine install

    Interesting thread. Would it make any difference if you had a multi disc clutch. The body is not off but the fuel tank is. My concern is lining up the clutch.

    Getting to original paint

    My 28 Tudor was painted with a brush at some point. Has anyone tried to remove paint like this to get to the original paint. It appears not to have any rust, and I would like to go to the original paint without damaging it. Is this possible. Thanks

    Was there any type of bushing around the shaft from the factory?

    Body welt

    In the red book it states to cut a 8" strip and glue it to the top leave of the front springs and coat the top with grease. It appears to me in West Texas that grease is just going to collect sand. So if its necessary can I use something other than body welt because I would have to order it...
