I have found mixed information about the cowl vents. So asking the experts if a 38 ford pickup cowl vent hole could be used as a donor for my 37 sedan? Thanks, Don

I had the floor replaced in my 37 and now realize that any brackets or braces that the seat would have bolted into are long gone. I looked in my EV8 37 Restoration book but can not find what would have been on the underside of the 37 floor that the front seat would have bolted to. Does anyone...

I have been meaning to get back up and check out some hulks I was given to see what is left that is still good. One in a 50 ford and the other looked to be a 38 but the snow was rally deep. I was able to lift the hood on the 50 and see that the entire engine was there including the air cleaner...

*EDIT* I got it. The steering column was in back of pickup so I dropped the steering wheel into the end gate valley and pulled the horn rod out. ** I have the steering column out of my 37 and I am taking it apart. The horn rod will move about 2 feet and then hangs up. I had to do some gentle...

I have got a 37 engine bolted down on a stand and hooked up to a radiator. I have the original solenoid hooked up for the starter but I don't seem to have the power to the coil quite right. The coil is a 6 volt and says that it doesn't need external resister. It still has the condenser and red...

As I was wrapping things up in the shop tonight, I decided to take a look at a 37 engine I have that was leaking water into the oil pan. I lifted up the engine far enough to drop the pan. I plugged the radiator inlets and filled each side of the engine with some fairly warm water. I found...

This is an old pickup that is on its side. I took this picture sometime back while standing in about 3 feet of snow and shooting down through the door opening. Is this a 34?

I believe I have seen this covered somewhere but can't find a definitive answer. What are the fitment issues with putting a 37 engine and transmission into a 34 coupe? Thanks, -Don

I searched around in my books and on the net for the removal procedure for the door glass and the rear side glass for my 37 Tudor. On one door it looks like someone got frustrated at some point in time and cut the door, replaced the glass, and stitched it back together with a welder. Can...

Hi, I tried searching for this but didn't find the answer. Does anyone have any idea of what the body weight is of a 1937 Ford sedan. Everything minus frame and running gear. Thanks -Don

I pulled the radiator out of my 37 and noticed this repair to one of the drain *****. Too bad you can't see the date on the penny.

This cabinet is heavy as hell and needs a few rivets in the shelf dividers but otherwise its a rock.

I searched around but came up dry. What is the bolt size for bolting a pressure plate to a 1950 flywheel? I believe it is the long style pressure plate with the 3 pairs of holes. Thanks, Don

I need to install the clutch release shaft and fork in my aluminum bellhousing adapter. I plan to heat the fork and cool the shaft but I am looking for tips on how to actually assemble it. Thanks -Don

Hi, I had a local shop turn my 37 wheel drums. I guess I didn't make it absolutely clear that if any drum needed more than .060 , stop and call me. I don't blame the guy. In his mind this is the way they used to do it and you just use oversized shoes. I want to confirm my belief that a .120...

Hi, I need to have the wheel drums turned for my 37 Ford. I don't think they have been turned before but they sure need it now. I need to find a place in Spokane that has the proper arbor for the rear drums. Regards, Don

Hi, I am gathering stuff together over the next couple months before tearing my 37 Slantback apart. I would love to see what others have done for firewalls. Some use a Bitchin firewall, other have done their own modifications. I would love to see pictures. Thanks Don
