Yesterday I got around to installing disc brakes on my 62 Galaxie. I pulled the hubs and then the backing plates as a single until. The drums and shoes are in good shape and the cylinders were rebuilt a few months ago. All of the self adjusters, springs etc were never removed. If anyone is...

I have a survivor 62 Galaxie with great original upholstery, however the original owner replaced the original vinyl front seats inserts with cloth. I’m trying to find the company that makes the reproduction upholstery, or a reputable company that can provide what I need. A company called Pro...

I thought there were reproductions being made but no one seems to know anything about them. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places. Anyone know why the reproductions stopped and if they are going to start up again?

My 47 came with a 6 volt Optima battery and a one wire alternator. It had and still has a negative ground. I have had the radio repaired and want to get it working but am unsure about hooking up to the negative ground. It seems I would have two options: 1. Reverse the polarity back to...

I was once corrected when calling the "dash" in my Model A a firewall. Apparently the correct term for the metal piece that most people refer to as a firewall was called a dash by Ford Motor Company. I would like to know when Ford stopped calling it a dash and went with the firewall nomenclature.

Sometime in the early years the vertical metal that most people call a firewall was actually called a dash. Was it called a dash or dashboard? What year did Ford change the nomenclature from dash to firewall?

I ordered a rebuild kit with an ignition switch for a 36 Ford. Came from Vintique. The off and on plate is backwards. When the toggle is down it says on and when its up it says off. Anyone else have this problem? Anybody besides Vintique make these parts? I was in a hurry and went ahead and...

In my last post I discovered the proper terminology for the top of the firewall in my 28 Roadster is called a "dash". For the past 65 plus years of my life a "dash" was the interior part of a car that was under the windshield and ran from the driver's side to the passenger side below the...

I'm trying to find details on the upper firewall and gas tank on my roadster. I know the interior of the car is a finished gas tank but there is about an inch gap between the firewall and the front of the tank. If the top of the tank is indeed the exterior of the cowl where does it separate...

I have an early AR 6 bolt clamshell and inner u-joint cover and am trying to install an F150 trans. I need a later style 4 bolt cover and clamshell and have one on a 40 that I could use but it will be a bear to get it out. Will they interchange or do I need to find a 30-31? I would much...

This is the best of the Buckeye Barn Finds. (Do a search on the HAMB) I thought enough of this car to drive 2500 miles in the middle of winter to get it. Its almost all there and is the start of a good project. I brought it home 2 years ago and it just sits as I have too many other irons...

I have a brand new pair of Lincoln drums for early Fords from MT/Boling Bros. They are in the plastic wrappers and have never been used. I will sell for their going rate which I believe is $135 plus shipping. I will ship them at whatever it costs.

Last fall I ordered a touring engine from Joe at Turlock Machine. I was hoping to get it by mid to late December and get my roadster back on the road. Alas, its close to being done but not quite. My intention was to be able to use it this summer but the time has past as I am off to my home in...

After searching for a better way to install the staples into the garnish and struggling with the rear windows on my tudor, I came up with a solution that worked way better for the fronts. I make a combination jig and clamp out of a sheet metal vice grip. I cut two 1/16" slots in the blade of...

Is there any listing from Ford Motor Co. on torque for the steering wheel nut on early hollow steering columns? I not asking for advice on how to tighten a steering wheel. I'm asking for any published specification from Ford.

I believe this guy had an ad in the classified awhile back but I can't find it now. I have held off reporting this but its finally time. I really hated doing this but I'm out $200.00 that I can't recover. I bought a clock from this guy and after installing it I found it didn't work. I called...
