Thankyou so much sir

Want to build a long wrench to reach down and unscrew the master cylinder cap on a 46 ford car for a friend. He wants it long enough so he doesn’t have to bend over so far. I will make him one but want to know what diameter the cap may be. And about how long it should be. Anyone have some ideas...

Looking for a complete, zenith carburetor for a 1931. Rebuilt, or original.

At first I thought he had no left leg. Zooming in I see a left shoe but cannot see a right leg or foot. Perhaps he had both but cannot clearly tell in this picture.

Rotowrench this car has 41,000 miles always been in a garage. All I can see was in great shape on the top.

Stephenorf off thanks for your replies. Brother has had it about 4 was. and I just got back from seeing it. He’s not as mechanical as me. I believe it’s simple things. I saw the gauge bouncing around on the speedometer, wasn’t bad but I’d have to fix it. The gas gauge was barely off empty not as...

Little brother bought one, one owner, garaged it’s whole life. Fuel gauge goes down to half and stays, would that be the sending unit? The convertible top needs replaced, torn at the back plastic window. About what range does a top and the labor run? Speedometer moves around a lot, up and down...
