I can only say that my cousin and I have bought his hoses and were very pleased with them and the service. I hope you get your problem resolved. Gordon.

Welcome, this is a good place to be, the engine looks pretty spiffy! Interesting that the car is in Scotland, I thought I knew of most of the flatheads in Scotland (I am in Edinburgh) this sounds like a rare one and is a new one to me. Being in the midlands you are in good hands with Mart on...

Thank you for these Don, as always very helpful, thanks Fordbarn. Gordon.

TJ, thank you for that information, much appreciated. If anyone has a photo that would be great.

My 1935 cabriolet has been on the road for nearly 15 years, I have just had the interior done and my old top looks shabby now so I am contemplating having it re done. My car had been messed about with be original owner who had extended the cockpit to accommodate a small rear seat. The cockpit...

I used Snyder's for my 35 Cabriolet, seat base and back and also complete rumble seat, well made items, very comfortable as well!

Thanks for tip on padding Rich.

Thanks Rich, really helpful photos, thanks for taking the time to take and post these. Great service on the Fordbarn again. Gordon.

Great, Thanks Don, very helpful. Interestingly (or not!) my seat support, lifting bracket is on the other side, thanks to Fordbarn I am learning every day. Gordon.

Thanks Terry, meant to say it is a 36 seat, apologies for my fat fingered typo. I will also go and check out the book, I should have done so as it lies at my bedside! Thanks for the info, very helpful. Gordon.

Looking for a bit of advice: I am putting together a 35 coupe seat, I have original steel base, wooden base and back plus lift up sections, new start springs etc. I made new seat side panels from plywood copying an original set. My question concerns the upholstering of these side panels: do they...

I have a aftermarket dropped axle on my 35 and run 16 in wheels, 6.00/16 tires but kept the stock spring as I wanted to lower it slightly not put it in the weeds. I also have a chassis engineering sway bar which improves the ride. I also run rear skirts (which I see you currently do) so again...

Fantastic car, congratulations, looks like a great project to tinker with. Everything that has been done to the car puts you in a great position. Even just going into the garage and seeing sitting there must be really exciting. Keep us up to date and more photos would be great. Xmas has come...

Thanks for all the input and support and to Mark for photos. Attached are three more close up shots of the break, not great pics, just from my phone. Pic 1, notice small (old) hole? round that hole you might catch just a hint of a circular mark, almost looks like it has been plugged? Next photo...

I thought I would share a couple of photos. French block 4" crank in my 35. Whilst on a trip in August I felt a vibration, couldn't work it out, when car got to around 65 vibration went away. 200 miles into my 350 mile drive home to Scotland, had to slow down for roadworks then all hell broke...

I had this happen on a 40 tudor some 15 years ago. Very gentle start from traffic lights then a slight "ping" and no drive. Towed it home a couple of miles, then jacked up rear, pulled the drum/hub and the end of the half shaft came with it it! A very old grubby fracture and a tiny bit of clean...

I have had a few people (Ch*vy owners) tell me that as I have a flathead, this stuff would be ideal. I cannot get through to them that they are talking rubbish. So what, you can remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot! Yes they are right it has a much higher boiling point but as pointed...

Mhsprecher, The headlights do look a bit odd almost like the E&J type, but they would seem to be (from some older photos in the Tony Thacker, 32 Ford book) similar to the ones Edsel had installed. I know what you mean about the tail being heavy, but again it somehow works. It sounds picky for me...

I have always loved this car, thanks for posting and reminding me what an interesting design it is. What I like about it is that is slightly awkward, but still beautiful, if that makes sense? I had not seen the other pictures of it in its various forms, now added to my collection of photos...

My friend here in Scotland has got hold of a 1940 mercury coupe, it is missing a rear axle and torque tube. Would a 1946/48 Ford torque tube / driveshaft be the right length? I know the simple answer is try it and see, but he is 150 mile round trip from us and my cousin and I are trying to...
