Reinstalling my 29 Tudor radiator today, ran into a situation that has me stumped. When fan belt is tight, I have less than a 1/4” space between the return radiator hose and the belt. When generator is pushed all the way in and touching block I still only have at most 1/2”. So no much room for...

Im back, This is the first post in what has been a long overdue return to the restoration of my father-in-laws 29 Tudor. The work first began in 2011 and was intended to be a complete frame off restoration. But in 2013 was when I started a new business in the middle of the restoration, and all...

I love when I stumble across a period picture that I have never seen before. I will study them for hours sometimes. This one turned up in my (belated) 2013 ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Calendar. FYI - Septemer Curious as to the purpose of the trailer attactched, perhaps for hauling pipe.

I have read several posting about synthetic motor oil vs conventional motor oil. But what about synthetic grease? My fellow club members whom I trust for all things A, informed me about the general purpose grease that I intended to use on my U-joint would leak. "After they switched to...

My lower plug is stipped out. (3/8" ratchet turns inside the plug). Looking for suggestions to remove it. I tried gripping it with a pipe wrench but not enough of the plug is exposed to grab securely. 1. Welding a bolt on seems like the easiest fix but I don't have a 220 welder and believe...

Not Ford but looks to be some pretty cool stuff. I want this stuff for all my cars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IPM8OR6W6WE#t=0s http://www.spillcontainment.com/everdry

While doing a little web surfing this morning, I turned up something that I think is magnificent. At first glance I thought it was just an intricate and some what gaudy paint job. But then realize it was actually some amazing wrought iron craftsmanship. Some purest may think this is a...

After clearing up my confusion on body number locations and finding the correct number it has only added another question. Where was my 29 Tudor assembled? It appears that the first letter is an indiscernible mis-punched followed by Y then by the obvious 348497. If I read Dave Sturges' chart...

I'm sure that this has been discussed here before but a quick thread search didn't turn up much as to which, if either is the better carburetor or at least the more preferred and why. Seems to me that Zenith has the advantage for parts and availablity. But is there any performance or reliablity...

After reading post that turn in to rants and bashing, I thought it would be interesting to see just where everyones allegiance is. Given the choice of being able to buy from only one parts house, who do you choose? • Bert's • Brattons • Mikes • Macs • Sacramento Vintage Ford • Snyders • Smith...

Reading threads pertaining to Club Memberships, Favorite things about our A's, Questions we are asked and a few others... has me thinking about my own local club, its members, this forum and its readers and contributers. My A is actually our A (my wife and I). Not including spouses, we have at...

Went to pick up my freshly built engine from the small machine shop in west FL. where it has been since Sept. Sadly but at the same time optimistically I elected to not bring the engine home yet as he wants to tweak my carb. and replace my flywheel then leave it on the run stand for a complete...

Visiting my father in law and we are discussing his AA. The truck is at his farm property that is a good ways away from where we are. My question is if any parts of the cab of interchangeable with an A. The rear end has become locked up but the truck was running not long ago. The roof is covered...

Here is something I recently posted on the other forum, but thought it may be welcomed here as well. I personally am one who is afraid of making discissons that I will later regrate. My future plans or to paint my car Black on Black. (or maybe Drab) However I will probably alway ask what...

I personally am one who is afraid of making discissons that I will later regrate. My future plans or to paint my car Black on Black. (or maybe Drab) However I will probably alway ask what if. I see plenty of beautiful color combinations on other cars and would be happy with many of them...

A 1930 Coupe purchased by the auction company that I work for has just arrived this morning. Early Christmas! An older restoration but still quite nice, and no rust discovered yet. What I've been told is that it was a Wisconsin car and garage kept, only making it out for the parades on...

From the research that I am able to understand my 29 Tudor's frame # A2306575A was built in Atlanta. But what other information does the number tell me. Date, Color, body style?

Im about to paint my chassis, subbody, splash pans, brake rods, drive line and sub running boards and the more I prepare for paint the more I wonder "Should I paint this to?" I know manufacture claims of not being UV friendly and exposed parts need to be top coated. But I have never used the...

The final episode of The HISTORY Channel's series The Men Who Built America, featuring a young engineer called Henry Ford airs this Sunday. I've been watching this series and have really enjoyed it. And Im actually alittle excited with anticipation for the last episode...
