1932 3 window coupe. There are 4 seam covers (as of yet to find out the proper name) that run along the front edge of the door openings. Just little 1/2 x 1/2 angles shaped to fit over the seam where the A pillar is welded to the body. My questions are: What fasteners were used to attach...

Rebuilding the doors. 3-Window Coupe. I have most all the original hardware but one of the regulator springs popped when I was cleaning it up. I had pre-cleaned them and worked them all the way back and forth and they worked well. Then I was soaking them in rust remover soak (Rust-Oleum...

I’ve been working on getting my windshield frame ready to go to the platers and I got it apart but I broke one of the little corner thingies. I say “thingies” because I don’t know what they are called nor can I find pics or listings from catalogs on the internet. These things are cast...

I find stock steel torque specs, but not aluminum flywheel specs. The flywheel I got (Fidanza) didn't list torque spec. So what do I torque them to and should I use the stock washer plate (if I can find it...)?

I bought the "stump puller" starter from Speedway for my 8BA. I am using a Quick Time bellhousing and an aftermarket Fidanza (I'd never heard of them before but a good deal) aluminum flywheel with steel insert. The issue is the ring gear on the flywheel is chamfered on the back side and my...

I've been working on a 77 Toyota Celica since Christmas. (actually pretty popular cars now) Doing (what started out as) a light resto for a daily driver. And just now getting it finished up. New interior, front suspension rebuild, shocks, struts, touch up paint, assorted weather strips etc...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Looks to be the right era for Model A. And maybe they're not as old as I think. My guess is they're some kind of accessory cowl lights. It appears to be a mirror on one side at the top. The lighthouse has me stumped. Wasn't there a Beacon...

All the same? Different between truck, car, Ford, Merc? I'm getting ready to build my mounts for the 32 frame and want to be sure I'm OK with the old pumps/mounts I have. I couldn't tell you what I have. One set was supposed to be Mercury, but turns out it's a Ford engine, the actual Mercury...

It could probably be welded, or does it need to be? It's a 4" stroke Merc crank and I've already been through h and high water. I plan on a fairly warmed up street motor. Suggestions?

I did a search and didn't find anything on this subject. I find that hard to believe, so maybe my search technique wasn't up to par. Or maybe it's a non topic because of "well, everybody knows that...". Except me.;) Anyway, I have two pans. One truck pan (Ford) with the big cleanout port and...

I know this is mainly a stock restored forum, but I needed flathead help from people I can trust. I was directed here by several sources, so here I am! The pic in my avatar was taken at a car show here in Memphis, TN back in 1955. The sign on the windshield reads: Jack Friend 1932 Ford Coupe...

Hi guys, I'm new here and starting to learn about flatheads. Or more precisely, how to work on them. I recently acquired a couple "late" V8s. One a Ford and one Merc. According to the guy I got it from, his grandfather, uncle or whatever had a junkyard years ago. After the old man died they...

A project but pretty straight. Column shift all works. Engine not stuck. Some rust out in lower doors/fenders. Front fenders have a little cellulite. Main body really straight. Main floor good. Trunk floor rotted. Interior missing rear seat. All side stainless included. Some dents in it...
