I have everything to put the new glass into the door of a friend's car, however the bottom fell off the old glass before I could get it out and I am wondering which way the new metal channel goes on the glass. I have the measurments from the old glass as to position, but I can't find anywhere...

After getting the 4 pages scanned at greater resolution as PDF, even the best .jpg I can convert them to doesn't look good. Anyone interested can PM me your email address and I will send you the 4 PDF files. I did upload new .jpg images to my MISC album, but they are no better than the first ones.

If anyone is interested in pages other than the cover posted by 52allard, I have added some in my "new car to me" picture album. I didn't post pictures here as there are probably some that would be offended as the valves were moved. I removed the pages from picture frames so the glass wouldn't...

I will be picking up a new car to me after the Portland Swap Meet that belonged to a V8 Club friend who passed away recently. While the heads are not "flat" I am hoping my other cars with "flat" heads will keep me from being booted out. There are a couple of pictures in my folder list of the...

I only found out about this recently while talking with a mutual friend, but Pacific NorthWest flathead expert Dave Tatom had passed away a couple of months ago. Apparently, none of our mutual friends had my phone number. Dave was an accomplished builder who did work for people all over the...

If you are, stop by and say "HI" with your handle! I am at the Expo center in the farthest South big building stalls 4254, 4255 right where you come in the main front doors. My truck is loaded and will be leaving tomorrow to set up on Thursday. Mike aka deuce_roadster

I have received a number of inquiries about the Ford cut-away engine restored by our Regional group in Seattle, RG18. I will post here an edited story I sent to our club newsletter back in 1995 about this. Restoration of the Cut-A-Way Engine and Transmission by Mike Dermond (aka...

I don't think he was a member here but many of you may remember seeing the 40 Ford cut-a-way chassis he restored. I remember seeing pictures of it here. His name was Rick Rennebohm. I first met him in 1973 and we became friends, he had many old Fords and more recently was a player at the big...

Hey 32 friends down under, my buddy has a luggage rack that seems to be an Ausie 32 one. Has a "C" shaped cut out to go over the spreader bar and the bolts that hold the bar on also hold the luggage rack to the frame. The luggage rack itself hinges in the middle like the spine of a book and...

Those of us here on the Left coast lost another old school racer and swap meet vendor. Jack Corley of Portland Oregon has passed away. Was an avid v8 60 race car guy and Old Ford parts source seems like forever. I personally knew him since at least the late 1960s when I first met him at the...

I haven't seen any post by TOD for a long time. I hope his health hasn't deteriorated as he was quite elderly and had a history of issues. Does anyone know what his name is? Is TOD his initials? I just sent a PM to that username so maybe he will reply. Just curious.

I just got an email saying I can either request a refund or have them keep my money for stalls in 2021. (my RG puts this meet on) The swap meet started in Seattle and up till recently was called "Seattle Swap Meet" even though it was held at the Monroe Fairgrounds. Bummer

I recently was asked to supply a bare trans case to a friend who needed something to bolt to an engine to mount in an engine run stand. I have 4 or 5 empty side shift cases sitting in my spare parts and grabbed the first one I came to. I noticed it had a 39 lever on the clutch shaft. Thinking...

Well, the last of my flathead cars is now on the road! PO bought it in 1957 with a freeze cracked engine, I took it out of the garage in about 2005. He bought lots of NOS parts for it, never did anything but accumulate parts, 2 sets of NOS fenders, running boards, 2 gas tanks, pretty much...

I was going to order some oval head SLOTTED stainless screws from the company I have always got such things from in the past and when I clicked on my "favorite" link it came back as no site. I was afraid they had gone out of business but after a bit of investigating, found they have a new URL...

Story in today's Seattle Times about a garage in S. LA that converts hot rods to electric. (sigh) What caught my eye was a stock looking 49 Merc that had been converted with parts from a wrecked Tesla. Not a future I want to see but it probably is inevitable...

I just added an album with 4 pictures that should make you think about running old tires, whether bias ply or radial. A friend of mine lost a 40 coupe due to a LR blowout taking out the filler neck and starting a fire. This was on the way to a rod run with a full tank of gas. Look at pictures...

37 is a year I don't know much about. I was asked by a friend who needs a front fender for a 37 Sedan Delivery if it is the same as a coupe?, sedan? are all 37 fronts the same? He was told a sedan front was different then a coupe so which does a Sedan Delivery use?? (I think that in 38 the...

Ok, a friend and I are looking to find some answers about these carbs. Specifically the early ones, the "elbow carbs". Why do we care--I guess it is just inquiring minds want to know! Engine 18-I has one that on the bowl cover plate has a patent # 9000. As changes were made the last digit...
