Thank you for your effort in keeping this alive, Ryan!

I have a 1930 American Austin coupe.... I was eyeing up if a 60hp would fit in there!

I am far from a kid at this point. I am 44 years old... so at least still younger than most of the Model-A restorers. I have an entirely different up bringing than the general public that we all may need to promote to... I have had and still have quite a few old cars (pre war Fords only). Till...

You will find lots of antique stores in the area and surrounding areas. The AACA and EMMR museums are worth your time as well. 1.5 days at the swap meet may not be enough, also.... Travel safe! Zach

It's sad to think that something so minor would cause them to sit but it worked out for you, and I it seems. Another thought I had with your 36 delivery. When I was working on my '39 I tried to keep in mind that it was parked in 1948 and then only do things that may have been done to it before...

This was originally sold new to a company called "Real French Cleaners" (which i recently acquired their original sign from the building). The company sold the delivery to the Stahl family just before or during WWII. They had gas ration books but wouldn't let me keep them with the vehicle sadly...

When I first bought my '39 Delivery I had considered restoring it, it's a pretty nice vehicle, parked in 1948. it had a few major issues where the shed roof had leaked on it. In the end I've just patched in what was needed to make it solid and pretty much left it alone otherwise. I did add my...

Had a bit of a delay with this truck. Family, life and other things always seem to interfere. Anyways, a few friends helps to get a bed floor for me from summit to save shipping. It finally arrived yesterday so I'm back to digging in here. I layed the panel in, aside from being warped, it...

Thanks! I have been debating what trans gears make the most sense with this combo. I guess it depends a bit on the amount of power you have to pull 1st gear on a hill. Good to know that 29 tooth isn't too low. Thanks!

Thanks Pete! That's my son, Henry, in the photo by the way... Here is what the truck looked like when we first pulled it out of its hiding spot in 2020 I think it was purchased about 20 years earlier and parked there. It seems like the rear spring collapsed from having so much weight in the...

Thank you everyone. I made a bit more progress setting parts together and deciding what to use and how things fit, etc. Also bought some new rear tires. it will have 6.50x16 rear and 6.00x16 fronts probably on 40-48 wheels in the end. This had the passenger grill on when I got it so we...

Thanks, I considered that but I decided against it considering that I'd like to actually use it like a truck and haul stuff fairly often. There's currently no bed wood or floor or tailgate plus I'm thinking I'll run 6.50 rear tires, so hopefully it settles a little bit. The front may need to go...

I made a little progress on the truck over the past couple of weeks. I decided to change directions with it. I was originally planning to make this fairly stock with a model B engine. I just kept running into issue after issue with the truck that had me frustrated. I finally gave in that this...

Thank you! So, nothing was used like a "cup" to seal up to the back face of the insulator I guess? Or was there a larger plug inside and a smaller one facing forwards on the metal?

Thank you. This is what I was questioning, page 11-5 of your book. What is this referring to?
