Quick question here. Can't seem to find anything on the proper way to install the eccentric rivet in the steering box. Does the high point of the rivet go up or down? Found nothing in the service bulletins or the red book. Thanks for the help. Jim

I know, wrong place to ask...but! I changed the brakes over to juice. All went well until I installed the tire on the right rear. Wheel turns free until I tighten the lug bolts. Any ideas on what to be looking at? Hubs and drums are all new from speedway. I ask same question on the HAMB...

Hello all. Been a while since I've posted. Got engine rebuilt with Snyder 6.0 heads, Ford model 94 carb, mallory distributor from Bubba and a set of headers. Engine runs extremely smooth. Compression runs around 110 psi in all cylinders. Engine fires on first revolution or two...

I have searched the forum and still am not sure what I have. It has no markings other than the patent no's and an 8 49 on the flange. The outlet flange has a bore of 1.185". Can anyone help me on the type and manufacturer of this? Also, I am building a touring engine. What do I need to do...

Well guys, I pulled the old head and found why I have water in my oil. It goes from the water passage, across the block and extends about 1/8" into number 2 cylinder. Do I need to sleeve the cylinder ad have the block welded and decked or what is the proper fix? I had planned on building a...

Fired the old girl up today and noticed some seepage around the head. This could explain the water in the oil that I noticed on the last oil change. Compression readings today were all around 53 to 58. Think I should do the high compression head also. What is the best head to go with? I've...

Where can one find apple green pin stripping paint? My painter cannot find it through his normal suppliers. Thanks.

Been working on my 30 Tudor for the past two months. Got the body done and started putting it back together. Today, I decided to drain the old oil out and put in some 10w-30. Well low and behold, the first thing out of the drain hole was water. Ouch!! Not a lot but it was there. Where...

I have done numerous searches to find out how to install a d-nut. Is there some magic word or words that will give me that info. Thanks.

I have looked at a thousand photos of the rear window panels and can't see how any of them tie in to the body except for the rivets to the bottom support. Mine does not have the bottom support that ties in to the body. I have fabricated a piece of 18 gauge angle to rivet it to but can't figure...

Does anybody make a patch panel for the upper part of the cowl? I've looked at more catalogs and can't find anything. Is this a builder fabricated part? Hope not cause I not to good at that yet. Photo attached.

After a lot of sanding, welding, repairing old patch panels, the frame is finally painted. I got the frame painted and covered up and started on the body. After a couple of weeks repairing some old work done by the po, it got a couple of good heavy coats of epoxy primer this morning. Now on...

After looking at tons of interior pics of all of your cars, I just realized I might be missing some trim pieces. The bottom trim that holds the side panels in are missing. Does anyone have a size for these? Also, do the rear windows on a tudor standard have window regulators. Also, I'm missing...

Today I started taking the body off in hopes of finding the vin on my car. Well it seems as though the frame is pretty rough in that area and it cannot be read. I also took some dims on the gas tank because I couldn't find a build date on it either or it's covered with paint. Any thoughts...

Well, finally with the help of my 'chief mechanic, my 3 yr old granddaughter, we got the 'A' in her portable garage. Hopefully I can start taking the body off tomorrow. Will post more when the work begins. Thanks to you all for your help and support.

I would like to say hello and thanks for having such a wonderful site with tons of info. This past weekend I picked up a 31 Tudor in Alabama. Got her unloaded and sitting in the drive. Next week I am having a storage building installed to house it. I look forward to chatting and hopefully...
