So I found all these model a plaques… Do any of these mean anything to anyone? Long story short I got carried away on a local auction and bought a bin of model a parts. I’m a later Ford guy so no idea if any of this means anything or if it has value. Not really looking to sell. I’d rather look...

I posted on jalopy but some of you aren’t over there. Yall helped me a lot with various issues over the last few years. Thank you. I wanted a somewhat period correct looking hot rod originally. But with interior choices these days, I had to go custom. Check it out. Car is now pretty much done...

My car is finally at the Interior shop. They sent me a photo today wondering what these pieces are. I remember taking them off, but I don’t remember exactly from where. From my recollection, the smaller pieces went on the a pillar and the bigger pieces above the door. Both used inside the...

1939 (I think) ford coupe seat. It flips up to access behind the seat. The old vinyl is in ok condition. The sides have some tears. I used this in my 40 coupe until it was ready to go to the interior shop and that time has come so this is for sale (I have the original seat for my 40). Make me an...

What is a good solution for the linkage that goes from the throttle lever to the carb? I bought a few off drake (or one of the aftermarket sites) and they don’t last very long. The metal where the ball sits in wallows out. I’d rather not replace this part every 750 miles anymore. Is there a good...

Wing window won’t stay open My passenger side wing window on my 40 doesn’t want to stay open. I figured I just needed to remove it and tighten the nut but that did not work. Even cranked all the way to tight, the wing window still just flops around. I feel like I’m missing a small part. Help...

Yall know I like my stromberg distributor but a while back when I was having issues everyone thought it was my stromberg so I bought an original crab distributor. After realizing my issue at the time was not my stromberg (it was the fuel pump) , I put the ford dizzy on the shelf. Well, now I’m...

I have a drake (or carpenter, not sure but they are probably the same?) tank. It appears to be leaking pretty good where the neck attaches to the tank. This thing is basically new so I’m annoyed. Who makes a good tank? Anyone else have this leaking problem with their aftermarket tank?

I will dive into this tonight, but I’m looking for ideas. I’ll start with a tear down of the dual carbs. The last couple of times I took my car out I have had this issue and barely make it home. Anyway, I will drive 2 to 3 miles to say the store and everything is fine. And then on the way home...

Yes I know this is a stock forum but I’m looking for my next project and it WILL be flathead powered. However, I have come across a project or two that has a mustang 2 front suspension set up for small block whatever’s. Can these be converted back to flathead mounting while using that...

I was scheduled to go to the interior shop in January. By the time they called me in early March to tell me they might be ready in April, I was starting to question if I should really spend $20k (leather seat, door panels, carpet, rear seats and headliner) on an interior with the economy and my...

I have suspected this since I built this engine (about 1000 miles) but found more evidence today. Since building my engine seems to steam more than it should (I dont know...it's my first flathead). I recently removed the breather because it was so rusty inside due to this condensation. For...

I am taking my car to get the interior done in a few weeks and I decided rather than ignoring the lock, I should see if it works. This is on the passenger side only (as original). The door does lock using the handle inside. However, I can’t get my key to unlock it from the outside. The key is...

Looking through my disassembly photos I cannot figure out where this mounted. Any help?

I never really put grease on the trans shaft that slides into the clutch assembly. However I was watching a show on motor trend and he greased the very end, the part that goes into the pilot bearing. Should I grease this as well as the splines that slide into the clutch plate?

When I built my engine (1000 Miles) I think I forgot to install a timing scale. I marked the pulley for #1 tdc but without a scale it’s kinda useless I think? Where might I buy a scale? Link?

My engine has 1000 miles or so on it and I took it out to address some things (not engine related) before getting my interior done. It seems as though the inside of the block is very rusty. I flushed the block and flushed and flushed and flushed and flushed and flushed some more before building...

I want to adjust my valves but… I have 1000 miles on my car now. Fun summer! In anticipation for getting the interior done in January, I figured I’d clean up the firewall which meant removing the engine and addressing a couple of things. I have a minor oil leak so I’ll fix that but I also think...

I’m looking for good used 40 ford sun visors. They will be re covered so the frames need to be good. Please send photos. Thanks!
