Took my car on a short drive the other day, about 5 miles round trip, with a 20 minute stop halfway. It overheated, it has never overheated. It runs fine, runs as normal actually, I look under the hood and see this: Is this a sign I blew the head gasket?

These guys towed my car last fall, dispatched by Haggerty. The driver told me they sell parts for and work on Model A's at their shop. The owner is/was president of a local club. When I found I was in over my head to fix the rear axle I took the car to them. They quoted a very reasonable...

Who has done this? It was mentioned on here awhile back, but is not popping up in a search. I need to get started changing mine and would like to know what I am in for.

That would make a very cool restoration. It had holes, but didn't appear to be wasted.

My car has sat since roughly August due to a snapped axle shaft. When I parked it the switch worked fine. I have tried to start it occasionally this winter despite it being so cold, and now the switch seems to have failed. The battery is fine and the connections are fine. I plan to remove...

I was driving down the road this morning to a car show with my son. We went to leave a light and then we had 'no go'. The engine was running great, It was going through the gears when shifting, the speedometer was even acting like we were moving, but the car will not move. My other thought...

I have a friend with a Murray 4 door in very good shape. Everything is solid and straight - except the windshield is sagging and hitting the cowl because he can't keep it tight into the header wood. He would like to replace just this piece if possible so he can open and close the windshield...

Looking for some original windshield swing arm nuts. Thank you, Jacob

Last weekend was the first 'real' drives our car has been on since it was assembled. Previous to this I had only driven it around town. I put roughly 100 miles on it over the weekend and it was roughly 90* outside, it also happened to be the hottest days I had driven the car. I never saw...

i was just shown at a show today that my car has a diamond block. Is there a webpage to decode the casting number? It appears to say L-261 as I would like to learn more about them now. I also have a number stamped on my pad, but I am guessing it is a rebuilder number as it starts with R if I...

What is the best cam gear right now? I am pretty sure i wiped mine out today and will be tearing into it tomorrow. Engine lost all power while driving, distributor rotor doesn't spin, and engine doesn't seem to have compression. How bad is it to change while in the car? I have read on...

I have a rebuilt speedo, and the trip odometer has quit working already and the speedo has always been off. I am thinking of trying to adjust it, and fix the trip odometer, OR I have an original unrestored one that I can just reset the wheels on. I have read the links in previous threads...

Older repaint, interior looked like the original to me and was rough, the bottomside of the car was looking REALLY rusty from sitting on wet concrete. Supposedly rebuilt engine/trans but vehicle had not been driven since 1983. Engine looked like crap, and as it had not been apart since the...

I have our steering column out of our car, I want to re-install it. Can I do that with the wheel off while I restore the wheel? Will there be enough room to get the light switch and horn rod back into the column with it in the car? Also, what position is the wheel supposed to be in with the...

I don't know their specific name, but are they exactly the same, Somehow it looks like I am installing them wrong. The one on the right the hole is lined up if I push it down on the spring.

This was a Chinese restaurant, the city got mad about the way the siding looked (it looked fine) so the owner stripped the siding off and revealed the old garage - that is in much worse shape. I think it looks neat though, like a time capsule.

I want to top off the shocks on our car, is there a trick that someone has found to do this easily? Also How do I know if they are working? I need to test the front and rear.

Went out and played with the camera... wish I knew how to photoshop I would remove the mats from the picture.

What lube do you guys use for this? My new glass should be cut by the end of the week and my regulators are dry and somewhat stiff. Do you just use a thin coat of regular grease?
