Dug through my pile of spares in Fairbanks so I could bring home a few things. This crab was one of them. My car has a helmet so I never really paid much attention to this but now that I have it home, I noticed the bail. Is this right or is it something someone made to hang it?

Took the car for a drive to a friends little farm last weekend. Did about 4 miles on the interstate with traffic flying by at 70-80 mph and me doing maybe 55. Noticed an erratic miss which I'll deal with in the spring (we're going on vacation tomorrow). Skip just dialed in my dist and Max just...

The Woodward Dream Cruise starts tomorrow and I'll be taking the 35 Cab. I may have to do it twice since there's more people that want to ride than there's space in the car. It's supposed to rain in the morning so I'll use that time to put another coat of wax on the car and get it spiffied up a...

I decided to jump into this speedometer problem I'm having. I have it apart and I'm guessing I found the problem. The old oil is pretty gummy and is causing a lot of drag on the mechanisms. Inserting a small Torx into the end, I can turn it and all the gears and stuff are working but it's...

As some may know, I don't drive my car a lot however I did take it to work (7 miles each way) a couple days last week. My spedo went haywire on the last trip home so today I was going to work on it. As usual, I pop the hood to inspect whenever I'm working on the car. I instantly noticed the fan...

I've been putting some miles on the 35 the last few days and the Max's rebuilt carb has the car running better than it ever has! Anyway, on the way to work this morning, with the top down, a few miles down the road the car instantly started making a loud hellacious squealing noise. After a...

I sent my Stromberg 97 to Max for a rebuild and what I got back is almost too nice to use! The car seemed to be running alright prior to sending the carb in for rebuild but there were a few quirky little things and I wanted to eliminate the carb as the culprit...it was time for a "freshening...

My 35 and 56 (Chevy truck) are still licensed in Alaska. 35 has a permanent AK plate. I have purchased 35 and 56 original Michigan plates and intend to license them with permanent "authentic" Michigan registrations. The State wants pictures of the plates, a MI title, an application and proof of...

I stopped by a house that I ordered demolished to check on progress. The house was gone and this was left behind in the woods. Any idea what it's off of?

A little background first. My wife got into an accident Saturday putting the Jeep Wrangler on it's top. She's OK. I got the car back home after dark that day. Following day, I accessed the damage...it's manageable. Hood, rt front fender and passenger door. I will buy hood and fender new which...

I've done this once before and it worked out well for everyone concerned. I am tentatively planning a trip from MI to Fairbanks this coming Sept. I will be towing a 20'x8' enclosed car trailer which will be empty heading north. The tow vehicle is a Dodge 2500 diesel. Last time I hauled an old...

I'm looking for a good useable axle shaft. Needs to be 23 7/8" overall length with 16 teeth. Thanks, Kirk

So, I drove my car to work today. All was fine till the drive home. I got a half block from home...had to stop for traffic before turning onto my road. I gradually let out the clutch to go, car moved about 6 inches, before I had the clutch all the way out, and something just basically released...

I took the car out for a little Sunday drive to the dairy to get an ice cream. It's about 85 out. The car fired up immediately cold and ran fine. Stopped at a friends house on the way and shut it off. Stayed probably 15 minutes and when I went to leave, the car cranked hard for a second and once...

OK, I've been told by knowledgeable flathead people and have done some reading that low oil pressure is normal. My engine was professionally rebuilt years ago and probably doesn't have 200 miles on it. The gauge is original and the sending unit was new when I restored the car. I took it to the...

Went with a buddy to his cabin in northern MI. On the way out to check on one of his blinds we ran across these on his property. Can anybody identify them? Are they of any value to make it worth while to haul them out>

What is the purpose of this bent bracket with an eye at the end?

I got my newly rebuilt Skips water pumps painted and installed today. Also installed the NOS coil spring T-stats. Fired her up and let her come up to temp. Everything seems to be working great. My temp gauge is old and original to the car...has the red "fluid" in it. When I'm seated behind the...

I just want to make sure it wasn't my screw up before I give Mac's a call. I have a 59AB in my 35 Cabriolet. I ordered and received a conversion radiator hose kit (MF-140-D) that says "37-48 V8 in 1935-1936 Ford". There is also a Bob Drake sticker on the package that says the same thing. I just...

I got my water pumps back from Skip today...they look great! I have everything to put my car back together except for one thing...paint. My engine paint is 4000 miles away in Fairbanks. The engine is the stock green (or close too it). The darkest green Ace has is Hunter Green and it's too light...
