Rebuilding two carbs, one for grandpa's 35, the other or my 36 pickup. The 35 has a 59ab, after pulling from long time storage, replace most of the 39 brakes and ignition. Had an issue with "vapor lock" but I think that may be due to the fact that a gasket didn't exist at the power valve. So...

The car in question is a 35 roadster. Engine is a 59ab. It's been sitting out of service for at least 15 years. Battery is a year old. Never used yet. But stored in climate controlled garage since I bought it. I got 6v with my meter and I've been charging for about an hour. Car is equipped...

Pretty rough, so had to fix it up, and because i tend to go the long way, I decided to attempt making a matching mirror image from scratch.

My first go at making a panel from scratch, did salvage the side hinge though. Sorry I'm a noob and can't make roller dies on the lathe yet. Lots more Tig practice though

For my neverending truck I got a pair of pretty beat up Hood sides, they were really cheap. Not done yet but I've made some progress on one side. I'm looking for a pic of the bumper corners preferably one without the bumpers. Specifically at the firewall. One side is missing that section the...

Sorry for the click bait. I don't really want to entertain such options. Unless someone really experienced tells me I have no reason to make my first attempt at cast iron welding. I'm not going to listen to anyone telling me to take it to someone else. That's entirely how I forever avoid ever...

So I'm pulling apart carbs to find a serviceable core... Or maybe just one that needs the least amount of servicing anyway. The carb that was on the 8ba was frozen in just about every imaginable way. I freed up the choke but the further I went the more work I saw myself needing to do. So...

The pic below will show the part in question. Before I really clean it up beyond soap and water, is this a bad idea? Going on a 8ba in my 36 pickup maybe. Using the old gasket it seems ports will line up, seems to use less bolts though. And fill tube and the other vent tube are missing from the...

I dug up some crusty brackets, they may have been mislabeled as 33-34 cause they look very similar to what is on grandpas 35 roadster. Are these the same as or interchangeable with 35-6 pu parts? I realize the buckets aren't for the pickup. I may swap them out but I kinda like the teardrop...

I'm looking for a few parts. Inner front fenders Top panels of the hood Running boards All fenders I'm currently looking at new fiberglass parts for their price. But figured a shot in the dark for used parts wouldn't be much a of a waste of time. I'm not considering steel unless you got...

My wood showed up today, still got some more metal work to do on the cab before I can use it. While I'm wrapping that all up I had some questions regarding prep of the wood. 1) are the finger joints supposed to be glued together 2) what should I coat the wood with. I thought I read they...

Prefer to trade parts if possible, lots of body parts for model a's and early v8 cars

Inner radiator splash pan, looks like it's a match to what's on grandpa's 35 roadster, wondering if it's a match for my 35 pickup. This is the pan between the rad and cross member and not the rad and grille that I know is different

Ordered some parts and the trans book from vanpelt but hasn't showed up yet, while I was waiting I thought I'd go ahead and disassemble the side cover. Got the pins out but the levers don't want to come off the shifter fork shafts. So in the picture I'm going to show below I'm wondering if...

Going into my 4th month of the rebuild and I've just about wrapped up the rolling chassis. Started off as a bit of a mess because though it's been parked for at least 3 decades under a leaking roof and sometime before it was parked the last time its had its share of mods. And it was missing a...
