Hey all! I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find blueprints for the floor pans for a 49 ford fordor? I would buy the pre made pan kits but I'm a cheapskate, so I want to try my hand at doing it myself. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Okay, so... I start up the 49 today and drive it out of the garage. I let it warm up at idle for a couple of minutes. I open up the hood and i find smoke/steam coming up out of the oil fill cap. I don't know if i should be worried, because i've never seen this before in my life. Any help will be...

Well... there is only two choices really, but i need peoples input. I'm looking to get either a new engine or I'm looking to rebuild my flathead. I've been looking around the barn to see if people are selling their rebuilt flatheads, and I've been seeing some pretty great deals. Now... being me...

Howdy everyone! I've had my precious Ford for two years on the 27th! Its been a great two years and lets have many more to come with the '49! How many years have you had your ride, and how did you acquire your baby? I acquired mine through carsoup.com. an elderly fellow down in St.Paul was...

Does anybody know where to get high quality leather steering wheel wraps? I looked around at the parts stores and found only crappy quality leather.

As the title says, I'm glad to finally have some great weather so i can start up the ford. But, i always have a really annoying issue when starting up for the first time. I have to, first acquire another set of hands. Then create a seal around the top of the carb so it gets some suction to get...
