Thanks Graeme.

Thanks Pete.

Thanks Pete, apologies for the delayed response.

Currently tidying my '48 Merc firewall and wanting to identify factory holes. Can someone please post a photo of a factory 1948 firewall?

Thanks flathead 48 and Bruce MO for your advice. Beautiful interior you have there Bruce.

Although I suspect that it may have originally been fixed with upholstery cloth, How is the long decorative stainless strip fixed (in between windshield garnish mold & dashboard) in my '48 Merc 114X Coupe?

Thanks for the input fellas, much appreciated. It’s good to be active again on the Ford Barn after a couple of years in hiatus.

1. Factory high beam is at the bottom of the gauge (in between 0-100mph). 2. Small rectangular cut-out plate on the left side of the cup at the top of the steering column confirms rare factory installed turn signal switch. 3. Forensic investigation confirms red jewels (and green jewels) are...

What are the factory installed two red jewels (20-30mph & 70-80mph) on my Canadian 1948 Mercury 114x dash gauge. I am reassembling the dash after a long spell and have forgotten? The two green jewels are turn signals. Separate gauge cluster (not pictured) comprises amps, temp, fuel & oil...

First photo attempt from long time lurker

I am a big wrap for both you and Kube. Keep the great posts coming fellas. Thumbs up from Downunder.

As a Downunder newbie chasing oil leak information on my Borg Warner Overdrive my head is rotating Linda Blair Exorcist style at this basic lubricant issue. Can a fellow Downunder Barner please tell me simply which oil to purchase?

Bill Wzorek. Thumbs up from Downunder. Quality service. Bill is the man.

hi Guys, although a long, long way from you guys, Downunder we certainly do appreciate the great music made by your iconic artists in the 20th century. Sat morning here so I am into the garage to sort out these rods & take my brother's '35 3W on it's first maiden voyage.

F'Barners, I appreciate y'all chiming in with your con rod information. This Downunder Barner would like to thank Rotorwrench in San Antone, Ronnie up in Canada, Bruce in Joisey, Walt & Russ in Maine. I dig this site. I will head into the garage in the morn to clean, bag & tag them there rods...

hi Fellas, I recently bought a bunch of parts from a guy cleaning out his old shed. Amongst these parts are con rods which I have cleaned to reveal these prefix numbers. Can someone please decode & identify what year engine(s) the con rods belong to, or direct me to somewhere on the internet...

Good stuff Pete. My bro, & fellow Fbarner, has his '35 3W sitting in my garage in Melbourne. I never tire of the elegant body style. Although it has been a battle over the past year correcting various mechanical issues, we are not far from driving the black beauty. All the best with your project.

Thumbs up from Downunder. Looking good.

Hi Jim, alyhough I don't claim to know anything about V8 60's, jump onto youtube & type in 'Ford Flathead V8 60 Hemi'. I think you will like it. Update, I don't know anything about 85hp V8's either.

From ZZ top to top of the class. A lot of those 80's & 90's styling cues don't date well.
