After almost 40 in our barn, who knows how long before that... then 2yr restoring the mechanics...

I am looking for one of those, (need a family car) But not at that price. If they moved the decimal one place to the left I would take it!

30 or 31.

Kurt. Short answer no. I did not use talcum powered or inflate, deflate, and re-inflate. Will do this when I get home form work. Their is deep pitting on the inside of the rims. I had taken a wire wheel to them before I installed to smooth them up. As for the tube, they have no...

Rubber stems I went to the supplier. He gave me two new ones no questions asked. Third just failed today, so I have not been back. Only issue is they are the same brand. I now have questionable confidence in all the tubes. Advice?

Total Failure First failure was a .5 inch slit, that I tried to fix (I knew it would most likely fail) Second was a total failure as you can see.

I have been having trouble with inner tubes. Recently I had my second child, so my 1931 CCPU has been sitting for most of this spring. In the past month I drove maybe 800 yard and have had 3 total failures of the inner tubes. I installed new tires and tubes last spring. Today I pulled it out...

Blue Callor Supply in Sacramento Ca. They only sell SAE but they have it all, stainless steel, grade 8, fine course, washers, large sizes. They sell all nuts and bolts by the pound. Great system, load hand fills into bags and they weight it all when you leave. Also have casters, steel, alum...

So I just finished returning to the road a 1931 pickup. In the process I removed the seized engine and replaced it with another I had. The back story is the truck was acquired in 1970 from a gentalment that had bought it to restore, many years before. When his heath forced him into a home, it...

I was told that the acorn were not advisable as the internal depth of the nut and the stud length were too tight to insure a snug fit over 16 inch rims. With that said I run them for a year, before I replaced them with standard. This was more out of need for the acorns of my other A then concern...

I got my 1930 cope running agiain after almost 30 year. You should just plan on replace all the fluids, and get a new battery. Like Gary stated, make sure then engine turns over by hand first. I replaced all the radiator hoses and had to rebuild the carb. It was relatively cheep to get it...

As I finish up road testing and tweeking the 1931 pickup, the coupe is living at my fathers house. So before I head home for the holidays, I found the body number for the pickup, I just finished pitting back together, SFAA 3796. It is a San Fransisco car. After heading home for the holidays...

Puddle Jumper after freshly painted Kelsy Hays Rims...

As the story goes, my 1930 coupe was bought new in 1930, from San Jose Ford. My Great Grandfather, traded my grandmothers model T in for it, while she was away at college. Though it was my grandmothers car my great grandfather drove it to work everyday. One day he had a accident at the corner...

Maybe a Coil. I am not electrical expert, but I just when through a loss/ week spark. I had burned up two coils before I got my caleague ( auto shop ) teacher to take a look. I had wired mind negative ground 12v to run a alternator. Apparently 12v coils need 8v in or you will burn up a standard...
