Gentlemen, what are my options for a kit to replace the vinyl on my 35 5w? I know a few suppliers have closed. Would rather stay tradition, rather than the Juliano kit. Appreciate your answers in advance, Doug

Heard, that little 3W coupe is awesome! Have a 35 5W and would love to get a similar rake. I'll probably debate a while about the Excelsiors. Where your wheels hard to come by? And is there a build thread for the drop? I'm guessing it has a dropped axle.

Thanks again!! Out to the shop shortly to pry some more. Gotta be a dad this weekend and working Sunday, so prob won't get much done for a few days!!

Ok few more silly questions! Rod nuts are below the edge of the block. How do I get to them?? Do I try to salvage rods and pistons? Realize I need to protect the cylinder walls. Rookie questions, but I'm learning!

Thanks Coupe! If this is a good block I think I'll end up doing like Mart suggested and make it a 239. More questions to follow!!!

Was really surprised about the studs. The remaining 2 at the center water jackets seem to be rather cantankerous?? A little patience and I'm sure they'll finally let go!! Thanks again for all they help fellas!

Sorry about the rotation?? Haven't quite figured that out yet?

Thanks Mart!

I promise to leave the torch where it belongs. Won't be cutting anything!! More to follow once I'm on the inside. Appreciate the guidance!!

Thanks for some guidance fellas. I hope to begin tearing it down soon. Has been soaking in ATF fluid. Previous owner said I'll need to torch the transmission off. Thanks again!

I apologize for the redundant ""what is it?"" post!! I am considering rebuilding this motor for a 35 coupe. Was told it is a 46 out of a truck possibly. Suggestions on a solid street motor? Read a lot from afar and always learn something. Would like a road worthy 90 miles from home car. Plan for...

Gary where did you get yours? And where is the anchor point for the shoulder anchor point? Thanks, Doug
