I took this at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona CA today. Lots of nice flatheads. Too many to post. Go the the hamb and click on anything to do with the GNRS and you'll be in for a treat. Couldn't resist posting a pic of my roadster sitting out in the rain. Saturday was perfect, but...

I ran into George from VT today, at the Grand National Roadster Show, in LA. He told me Ron is under the weather with a couple of problems. One is a hernia surgury. Get well soon, Ron!!!

I made it to AZ with a new engine. Had to come across country the most Southern route, to avoid bad weather. Normally, I don't mind any weather, but I was towing a trailer this trip. Lost a day of travel time when I had a major brake failure on my S-10 PU. I took me about two extra days as the...

I know some on this forum are interested in this event. I posted this on the HAMB, too, but I know most here, don't make it over there. This just in. The LTA has been approved to hold their meet in mid-July. Registration and inspection will be on Friday, July 15th. Racing will be the 16 &...

While I've got some time on my hands, I'm starting to mess with my F1 PU. Does anyone have the old numbers from Wagner/Lockheed wheel cylinders? I've come across a box of nos w/c and haven't been able to identify which ones, might fit, fit my '52 F1. Thanks.

OK, I got my dead engine out and it's in the stand. I had a reply to an earlier post with doubt about an 11 inch fitting. I held the 11 inch PP against the throw out bearing and it looks very close. Anyone on here have any first hand knowledge using the 11 inch in a T5 set up? Thanks, Paul

We arrived last night. But instead of cruising into our friend's driveway, with the flathead humming, it was in a Toyota rental from hertz. The roadster will arrive here either tomorrow or Saturday. We're picking up the loaner flathead this afternoon. It's an 8RT. Other than the pilot bearing...

My wife and I left Massachusetts a week ago in our roadster. We've been taking as many back roads as possible. Really enjoying the ride. Blue Ridge Parkway, Smokey Mountains, Ozarks, etc. About 100 miles into Oklahoma, on RT 270 the oil pressure went away and she knocked like crazy. Shut her...

The promoter of the "Gathering of the Faithful" has decided to hold the meet on Sunday, October 17th. The storm that is coming in on Friday may still be causing showers on Satuyrday AM. Sunday looks to be the best day.

The weather is looking damp on Saturday the 16th. The rain date (Sunday 17th) is looking better. We're having our final planning meeting on Wednesday night. The decision will be made then, if the show will be moved to Sunday. I'll update late Wednesday night. Stay tuned.

I have the chance to get a '32 heavy axle and I want to make sure it isn't the big truck axle. I need measurements to be sure. Does anyone have the measurements/dimentions to tell the difference between the two? A picture of the two side by side would be a really big help. Thanks

This morning I received a package from Uncle Max. Several weeks age I sent him two of my Stromberg carbs for him to re-build. I'm so pleased with the outstanding job he did, I had to share it you you folks. Thanks again Max.

Granny's china is in the syatem. Hope you don't charge extra for labor opening the package.

Haven't been on this Barn or the other one, all Summer. Too many road trips (not really a problem) in my AV8. Around 4,000 miles so far. I've been going over the car this last week and found play in the kingpins. When I pulled the spindle off, I put the kingpin into the axle and found some...
