I am having trouble installing a new 2 tooth upper steering bushing on my late 30 Coupe. The steering column has the "V" shaped lug for the bushing to lock in place. The repo steering bushing only has a dowel pin to hold it in place. I am struggling with the fit of the bushing. It appears...

I am wanting to check to ensure that my front axle is straight. I have watched the Diablo A's rebuilding DVD and in it they discuss maching rods to place in the spindle and radius arm mounts on the axle. I don't have a lath or other device to machine these rods - are there any other...

Anyone know if the 1930 standard 5 window coupe (no cowl lights) had an instrument light? I have a round speedometer with the notch for the wire. I just can't seem to figure out how to mount the light. The cab crossmember does not have a cut out for the light. Makes it hard to see at night...

My car came with an Rex-A-Co oil pressure gauge (0-10 reading). From the prior threads (2016-2014), I have read that oil pressure might be 3-5 when cold and 0 to nearly 0 when warm. However, my car is ******* the oil pressure gauge well beyond the 10 especially at higher speeds. At idle...
