You might be interested in this journey - especially those driving out to Tahoe. It's a story of courage, determination and perseverance and happening right now. http://joy-across-america.com/ Godspeed, Joy

Hello one and all, I'm usually found on the early V8 forum, but today have a Model T question. Considering the top saddle where the bows are folded down into, there is a 'tidy' way to roll/secure the strap when the top is up. I've had T's in the past and used to know how this went, but old...

http://vanderbrinkauctions.com/video.php?detail=119 The narrative has a few errors, but even so, it's worth a look. Seems to me there are a lot of collections of cars/parts being liquidated recently. If you like original cars and tons of parts, you will probably get a spike in your blood...

I'm working on a project to provide enclosed dedicated transport to and from the 2013 national meet. The point of origin is Martinsburg Wv, destination Harrah's Lake Tahoe and return. The transport trailer can haul six cars; we have three confirmed participants, and a couple of other maybe's...

'37 Steering box in '36 car part 2. Warning - long and boring unless you are doing the swap. The original article on doing this was published by Flatheadfan and it is still the most comprehensive set of instructions. It can be found online by doing a Google search or you can get a copy by...

We worked on the Phaeton yesterday, JM35Sedan, Verytangled and I. It was a tough day, and we're still in the process of making the swap. Here's what we've learned so far: Drilling an extra hole in the 37 Steering box seemed like an easy way to go, less modifications, more plug and play. So...

I do not believe the 2 door phaeton was made in 32 - but here is one listed for sale on consignment. http://www.leakecar.com/index.cfm?id=208&auc_code=TULSA12&lot=2458 Seems like the auction company should put in a disclaomer if it is a Model A Deluxe Phaeton made into a 32 There never was a...

My son and I like 'mom and pop' motels when attending national meets. We look for clean rooms with High Speed Internet. Low price is a factor, as it allows us to spend more on social events and souvenirs and flea market parts. So far we've done pretty well at locating budget priced...

Car is totally stock '36. The transmission is on its way back from Charlie NY, and we are going to put it in soon. I have capable help; JMsedan and my son Jeff as well as a buddy who is strong. We have to put the trans in from the top, and are working over a pit, so I've been rehearsing in...

If you happen to catch the movie 'J Edgar' currently playing, there is a scene where Hoover and another actor are coming down the steps of the Capitol, if you look in the background, you'll see my '36 Phaeton. The scene was actually shot at the Masonic National Temple in Alexandria Va. last...

There have been a few discussions bout this - substituting a rubber hose for the cork seal in the U-Joint housing. I wish to contact the person selling these, who I think might go by 'Ol Hot Rod John' from Ohio. Anyone have an email address or website where I can order these? Thanks Henry

A friend sent me this link, and I thought I'd pass it on. It's in color and has a nice 'spontaneous' feel. You'll see men women and cars celebrating the announcement of Japanese surrender. Several glimpses of cars we love, including a 40 Convertible with the top down and a 36 trunk back...

I recently rebuilt the starter in my 36. The starter rebuilder did a good job and the starter works fine. My friend JM - who is very knowlegable about mid 30's v8's suggested I install the small angle bracket which goes between the top starter attaching bolt and the oil pan. Evidently on the...

If I make a post, either here or in the classified section is it possible for the forum software to notify me by email when there is a response to my post/thread? Some other user groups have this facility, and I wondered if I am just overlooking it here or if it isn't possible. Thanks in...

****** SOLD ***** Are you looking for a nice 39 transmission that has no rust and shows evidence of being low mileage and in good shape? one with no chipped gears, and the synchro edges look sharp. The top is nice, not much wear in usual places, e.g. notches in shifting rod. Nice enough to...

At the last part of the Saratoga Springs meet our starter gave out. Getting it out was pretty easy - we have a pit in the garage. My son was doing the actual wrenching while I 'supervised'. He loosened the two long bolts and the starter was loose, but in manipulating it to get the bendix...

On eBay there is a fellow selling a lot/group of v8 parts, among them is a speedometer with early looking numbers - I'm not knowledgeable on 32 Fords but it looks like possibly 32. The speedo is in fair-poor shape. Just passing on the info in case some of the 32 parts maniacs are tuned in...

For those who might be interested, Bonham's is auctioning a car and parts collection 6/11. It is in Portland Or, The Wally Lewis collection. There are no less than five 36 Fords, a Phaeton, Roadster, Convertible Sedan, 3 window and a pickup, plus a 39 Mercury Convertible, 40 Std coupe and 41...

This is a really neat event. There is coverage of it on H.A.M.B. It takes place at a vintage speedway, Latimore Valley Fairgrounds, near York Springs Pa. Lots of cars, some flea market, and a laid back atmosphere. Get to see jalopies speeding around the track, slinging mud, generally having a...
