    gas tanks.........

    Let's re-think the problem and proposed solutions. Open the tank, remove the baffles and insert a bladder. If designed properly the inlet, outlet and gas gauge could be intergrated as they are now. Sorry, just thinking like Edsel!

    Wanted: To buy a pair of matching wisconsin license plates

    Stew, Thanks for your explanation of Wisconsin license plates. Collect plates from most states. Certainly no consistency state-to-state. Should be no confusion. YOM (year of manufacturer) simply uses a 1931 license plate on a 1931 registered vehicle. I've got a pair of 30's on my 1930 Ford...

    Jump Starting flat 6V battery

    Used the old standby many times. Get out of the car and push. Pop the clutch..........good to go! Check the alternator, it may a 6 volt unit. Don't assume all alternators are 12 volt.

    Selling my stuff

    Iola, Wisconsin has an excellent swap meeting in July every year. This is approximately 2 hours from Sheboygan, WI. This would be a good way to move a lot of parts. You appear to be very knowledgeable and would have a blast talking to other Fordbarn folks and collectors/restorers in general...
