1950 Ford Custom Deluxe Convertible -Car has been in my family since 1969 -Frame off restoration -32,xxx original miles Additional details below Thanks, Brian...

they are simple cars but you guys know all the tips and tricks...that is helpful info

joe 1950, great color!

The carburetor is leaking fuel and I've never pulled the air filter housing off...still learning

Does the filter sit in oil all the time or only when the car is running? I need to pull it off and I want to avoid making a mess unnecessarily. Thanks, Brian

Oh...you mean literally a canteen lol I thought that was a brand

Good information thanks

What brand tank/cap is everyone going with? My goal would be a solution that I could remove (I don't want to drill any holes). Pics would be great. Thanks! -Brian

Yes Sir that’s it…for clear coated cars it works great…I use a clay mit before I apply it…I need to do more research on non-clear coated cars…my ‘50 will only see sunny days so the set it and forget it aspect of the 5 year product is appealing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Geat info…i’ll need to talk to my shop guy…180-205 is very impressive thanks!
