Does anyone know of a source to get an engine rebabbitted in the Omaha Nebraska area? Or perhaps someone within a few hundred miles of Omaha. This would be for an early flathead v8 engine. The last time I had this done was with a shop in Lincoln NE and they did Model A's, early Ford V8's and...

I hope someone has the answer to this. I had my glove box radio for my 34 repaired some years ago and now I want to put it in the car. The guy that repaired it has passed on and I do not know how to wire this up to the car. I have an antenna lead from the roof so that is no problem but can...

I need some advice. I am am thinking about putting a Brake energizer or floater kit in my 34. Does anyone have experience with these kits. I understand the theory of letting both shoes float to make better contact with the drum, if they work I would have safer brakes. But are they worth the...
