I have an ISO rod bearings ad on both Fordbarn and Early Ford V8 Club but silence is the only thing I'm hearing on this topic. Even the scammers are laying low which is especially concerning. Can anyone recommend unlikely or other potential individual or corporate sources that will allow me to...

ISO full set of matched rod bearings. .020 at the crankshaft. Must fit 36 LB. .

Be very, very careful not to bend the horn rod when removing. If bent it cannot be used in the car again unless you can magically return it to perfectly straight condition.

Whether driving or just sitting back admiring, as an owner of any 34 Ford, it is tough to argue the pleasure one can get out of some of Henry and team's finest achievements.

Odd as it sounds, my crusty old 34 3W gets more attention than my world -class 34 3W.

A few years ago i tried to buy a 34 Cabriolet wiper motor from someone with identical name. We did not conclude the deal but spoke on the phone with him.

High-density polyethylene (HDPE), also known as puck board or arena board, works like magic. Easy to cut or shape. Easy to glue material on. Won't rot, ever. Won't break down for centuries. I use on kick panels, too. Never loses it's shape like cardboard. No need to use additional plastic...

I am been following, with eager interest, the current opinions and stances on 35/36 Ford luggage racks, which are currently in a thread not too far down this page. I will continue on the path of installing my recently repainted luggage rack on my 36 3W, once the car is ready and I can find the...

Yup, they’re not see often. I continue to scrounge for the final remaining components for mine.

Since the 1970's, I have found 1934 Fords to be stunningly beautiful. I began the full restoration of my Cabriolet about thirty years ago. It took me five years to complete. In this time period came three kids and during this same period of time a chance to buy a decent bare 3W body - my...

Yes, have power to the horns. I removed both horns tonight and sanded any paint remnants from this old jalopy (long story for a future post on this forum). Having had the horn rod apart, I did look at the top of the horn wire and the horn button. Plenty of metal left on each and evidence of...
