    Thanks `40 Cpe and V8COOPMAN. I will try this procedure in the Spring. In the meantime I'll try blocking the clutch pedal down. Believe me, I have missed the 'Barn too!

    Clutch Issue On My `35

    My`35 Cabriolet has been sitting for awhile and now the clutch won't release. The pedal travel is good, just won't release. It was fine when parked. Thanks.

    My wife says it's just a box. I say it's awesome

    Years ago I found an old concrete mixer with a Jaeqer hit and miss engine in it for $100. The engine was in near perfect condition with original paint. I tinkered with it and got it running.

    Flathead Longevity

    The only weakness I know that the flathead has is overheating. I ruined a perfect `40 engine back in the mid 50's. A careless teenager didn't see the heat gauge in time. I have heard you can run the engine wide open without a load and the valves will float before it comes apart.
