Northern Classic trucks is gone, and along with their retirement they destroyed their COE tooling, has someone stepped in to fill the void?

Golly now I gottah go search for what prompted the apology.... brb... I'm baaaack! It was about studs... unfortunate! But at least it wasn't a whole car!

is this what you guys are looking for, it's what I used on my '40 t5/8ba... http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Search?query=flathead%20t5&facet=GA_Sema_Part:Clutch%20Release%20Bearing%20Guide%20Bushings

thanks! It would be kindah hard to put it on the fender side wouldn't it! ...the fender itself is kinda in the way! I've had some "experienced" (ie: older) ford guys mention some sort of a putty, but they couldn't remember what it was called...

Searched through the barn and didn't see anything on what to use to seal the bolt/nut-clip area. "nut-clip...?" It appeared on my parts car that Ford used some sort of "tar" like stuff applied to the fasteners on the inside of the car... is that a correct assumption? Did they put the stuff...

Negative 12 volt ground: I'm in the same pickle..... so all i gottah do is power the gauges through the bars (with the voltage dropped), ground the voltmeter and run the other sender wires to the negative sides of the gauges?

My son is my best friend, the best thing I have ever done or will ever do. To lose him would rip my soul to shreds... but I would always remember his love for me and my love for him, a love that can never be replaced and yet will never be lost. From the first moment I held him we were bonded...

I used the contact cement but I am beginning to wonder how it will hold up to the weather, temperature changes etc. (it's great stuff for holding Formica to plywood in a kitchen though!) (Up here a 100 degree temperature swing through out a year is common! and a 30 degree swing in one day even...

I've found that old timey sticky cloth electrical tape in a lot of places!

it's been awhile... here are some pictures taken today (regardless of the date on the photo)

ok... that's enough of that!! (for awhile) The passenger side is better, but not great The driver side is better, but not great (the rear arm was still hitting the carriage bolt head and holding the rear of the hood 1/2" high in the rear, reshaped the arm just a little and ground a little...

I did bend the rear hinges so they were almost 90 degree bends, and it did have the desired affect of lowering the rear of the hood. But the bend on the passenger side was almost too much and it was actually a little too low, I had to reset the hinge plate from where it was to a little higher...

ok... I'm feeling "better" about the drivers side front to back, I think I need to bend the back hinge arm a little, since it's the one that controls the height at the cowl. it has an "s" bend in it.. so it shouldn't be too hard to make the "s" bend tighter, and keep the pivot point in plane...

here are the "shoulders" on the rear of the hood for the hinges... I cannot get this hood closer! I've taken it apart, "adjusted the hinge arms and drilled out the hole on the cowl larger and the holes hinge brackets where the two bolts per side fit into the firewall/cowl. (using grade 8 -...

Just picked up my hood from the painters... the shoulders are on the hood!
