Just an ole wive's tale. If they broke off at the bellhousing because of a stand, there would be pics of them broken and on the ground beside the stand.

Width depends on stance and front height. Rears are not as important, but if you don't get the fronts right, it looks like a turd. I run 8/s and 6/s on my 28 pickup, but it is modified, so my tracks are different to stock. I would guess a stock A would look good with 6 and 5 and lowered...

I have done several cars in lacquer colour then 2K cleared over. No problems even years later. As this is obviously not recommended by suppliers, my own judgment was to leave the lacquer for an hour to dry a bit before proceeding with 2K over in the usual way.

My pilot engine has locked big end inserts. I am yet to find if all or only some or none have these . Mine could have had a crank change . Will be very curious as to whether this thames engine when it arrives has them or not. My last flathead was a 1946 C69A and it also had...

Rear end loose as a goose sideways.

HA, I just spent the last night in Tocumwal at the Town beach.

You can carry a lot more in an open rumble, not just made for people..... I have carried tall wood and drums in mine.

Today at the ford swap meet in Sydney AUS, 5 16 inch wheels sold for $650 AUD in resonable condition.

I use 7 and I have never seen such a classic tan as these. and I run normal unleaded with a valve saver additive.
