Floats, Thank you. It looks like the bottom part is parallel with the horizontal bottom of the cab back. I appreciate the help. Tim

I am putting together my roadster pickup cab from new and original parts. The back of the cab has a bracket I need help with. How far down does this bracket go? What does the bottom part connect to? The frame or subrail? I have attached a picture. Thank you!

Flop, Great work and I love the pictures. I'm preparing to build a 29 rpu cab from all original parts doors forward, new subrails, quarters, and Brookville back. Can you snap a picture of your method of setting rivets? Do you do it by yourself? I plan on putting the body together...

I drove around last night and it started getting hot. Pulled the hose this morning and there was a small ball of dirt already collected. About the size of a tootsie pop. I guess that would be enough to restrict flow and let it get hot? I'm just throwing the hose away. At this rate I'm...

I bought a bunch of hose at dollar general. The cashier looked at me funny. They were cheap.

Panty hose on the top water outlet inside the top radiator hose. It catches the junk before going into my freshly cleaned radiator. I was told to do it and read about the procedure on the Ford Barn. I have used panty hose ever since I started the engine for the first time. This last go...

Jim, Thank you. I may give you a call when I get started. Tim

This is the second round of catching junk with the hose. The first round netted about a table spoon of small debris. The sprite can was not in the engine. This project started with a frame only. I purchased a front end and rear end from a man that had removed them from a "restored" car and...

Thank you Rowdy.

I have finally gotten my chassis together and running. My next step is to assemble the subframe and cab. I have original cowl, tank, subrails, doors, and firewall. The new pieces are quarter panels with supports, back of cab, subrails, cross rails, seat floor, and seat frame. What is the...

I tried to edit it but can't. It is correct on my phone and the photo bucket account? Sorry.

I started with a frame and a roadster cowl. Then I found a guy that hot rodded a restored car and bought a front and rear end. Then I found some doors and roadster pickup quarters. Then a bed and fenders. Then a nice running engine. I bet I have less than $1,500.00 in it as is. It has been a...

Thanks all. I have it in the back of the truck driving for a couple of days with vinegar in it. Doesn't leak. It will make a nice spare setup for driving completed chassis around in.

Is there any reason that TSP could not be used to clean a fuel tank with light scale? I already have the tsp and this is not my best tank? This tank is for driving my chassis around only using spare firewall and gas tank.
