Looking for a solid drivers side welled front fender. Might consider one where the front is banged up but the back half is solid. Tried to buy new but appears everyone is out of stock.

Hi all, I spent the weekend digging in an old barn attic and came away with multiple original part. Many have the original tags or stickers and I can identify them but I also found a beautiful 1934 bumper. Front side is chrome, backside is not which I believe is typical but there is also a "C"...

1928 Ford Sport Coupe project - restoration started - no rust (no patch panels needed) - needs completion. - Very solid car with all good sheet metal. - engine turns freely and was running prior to storage. - many many parts, 40 year collection of parts go with it. (see photos a partial view)...

Not that I really need an excuse to drive my car - I do that whenever I can - but I've decided my newest hobby (amount 50 others) will be to tour my car to all of the historical sites within 50 miles and form a scrapbook of sorts. Knocked out the first 2 yesterday. Also - I know you'll spot...

In reviewing the judging standard I have not see anything on it but a friend showed me a picture of a data plate on the Model A describing how to set the timing. It did have the Ford logo. I'll work to get a copy of the picture but does anyone know anything about these ?

I have not worked much with the Model Ts, I own a couple of As but, while up at my father's this weekend I ran across some paperwork about an accessory light that mounts just outside the wheel well onto the outer fender rim. The brand name is Protectolite out of NY. Anyone have information on...

OK - I thought the electrical on these was pretty basic but ...... Car was running fine, parked it outside in the sun for awhile, couple hours later I started it and backed it into the garage, once started and running the wires started smoking. I immediately disconnected the negative cable...

Well, after 30 years the old Woody is running albeit not very well. Idles nicely after carb adjustment. Took it out for a ride and it was pretty easy to diagnose a bad miss. No power whatsoever. I did compression tests and have 68-70 across all 4 cylinders. The car had new valves prior to...

Working on replacing the brush end bushing on my starter since the outer edges appear to be cracking. I've search and see bushings addressed but no where did I find an explanation as to how to remove the old bushing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know of an...

The ground strap from my positive battery terminal to the frame is getting seriously hot. Any ideas as to what would cause that ? The connection appears to be tight at the battery and at the frame.

1929 Station Wagon. Was told it was original paint , but I've read here also that no primer was used originally. The paint chips show what I assume is the proper Manila Brown but under that appears to be a dark brown color/primer. Does that appear to be correct ? Also, this car sat in storage...

Some may say I ruined it, some may disagree. I had to do something to protect the wood, it was raw. My intention was to keep it as original as possible, imperfections and all, so I just lightly sanded areas where any pre-existing varnish may have been but was peeling, the rest stayed the way it...

Just re-installed my differential. Learned that it is a pain in the a** by yourself, had a heck of a time jockeying the universal and drive shaft while rear was on a floor jack. Managed but it about wore me out (yes I'm feeling my age). My question - the point where the radius rods connect to...

If you're missing engine A3251874 - I found it. It was changed into a marine engine. :o

Long story short: - Car sat for 30 years. - Right wheel locked up. Tried pulling brake drum/hub using heavy duty puller - no go. - Dropped entire rear end assembly. Left side came apart no problem. - Axle is out (anyone know how I can figure out what gears are in this ?) - Right break...

I call it an "organized mess". Could not get the left hub off, decided to pull the entire drivetrain. Rebuilt the right side brakes but still can't get left side off. Patience and PB Blaster at work here ;) Maybe by spring I'll have it at least running..... Oh wait, when is spring ?

The other night I started tearing into a spare Zenith one carb I have. When splitting the upper and lower, the venturi stuck in the upper. Since the bottom of the venturi was all cracked and ratty I knew i needed to replace it. Tried wrestling with the channel locks to get the stuck venturi...

So.... Pulled my gas gauge and surprisingly after 30 years of sitting in the tank - with gas, the cork was completely intact but it looks like someone coated it with varnish or something. Anyway - with the new gas and everything I figured better safe then sorry and I orders a gas gauge float...

My pully is toast with one flange gone and one severely cracked. I'm replacing with a one piece. Radiator and all has already been removed. Engine mount disconnected (I am going to put a new timing gear in while I'm at it). No battery currently in car and starter has been pulled. I'm trying...

After several weeks of soaking with a combination of ATF, MMO and Acetone, The block is freed and turns as easy as butter. OK I had to stand on the hand crank to get it to initially turn but once it past that sticking point, a 1 3/4 socket and breaker bar, a couple of rotations and we're...
