Thanks a bunch. Will use the originals that are good and replace the few that are marginal. Love the experience and knowledge on this site. Hope the Ford Barn goes on forever. God knows our kids will need somewhere to go if they want to play with what they own when I die.

Is there any good reason to put stainless valves in the ex-valve in a FH ? Thanks, bill

Tip of the day, I bought a new 53 Merc hardtop Drove it 3 miles to a friends body shop to modify the hood and adapt 51 merc skirts. We found that the nose of a 49 51 ford hood will fit, when trimmed, directly into the revile where the big bird was. Made a super appearance. Loved that car. Had...

I havent dont any sheet metal for years but, I always used oxy/Acetylene and the rods I liked best was the thin white painted clothes hanger from the cleaners. I bought a mig 6 or 7 years ago. Don't use it much but like it for most jobs. Sold my old copper wound Lincoln stick last year...

Manuel, thanks much. Saved me from buying something that would not work. I have done that many times but not when I can get good info from my friends at Ford Barn. bill

My Lincoln Town Car was assembled in Canada with parts made in Mexico. Sure is "A FUR PIECE" from my first Lincoln, a 1958 Lincoln Continental Convertible. bill

Just finished a 50 teardown. Stuck pistons are a real pain in the butt. I tried to take out the crankshaft so I could get a better hammer swing to the pistons. The crank will not come out with just the rod caps and main caps removed. The angle of the cylinders puts the rods close together so...

I love my Miller Blue Box. I also use the 25 - 75 mix. There can not be anybody as in-experienced as me. I took a welding course at the local Tech School after I bought the Miller. That Helped but, the best training is Practice and more practice.

I shipped a complete front axle from spindle to spindle with wishbone on Greyhound from Missouri to Florida. Just wrapped the sharp corners and hung a wire tied tag on it. Went right through. bill

The 32,33,34 three window coupe's were the car of choice back in the late 40's and early 50's in Missouri and adjoining states. My car, owned by Sandy Sanderson, was a 34. I ran in what was called "Full Modified" my 34 ran 59AB flatheads built by Sandy and it was a 34. Wish I had it now. Sorry...

Starting to reassemble the 1940 front end that will be going into my new project 32 Rdstr. Took it apart a month ago and now I have forgotten hot to reassemble the spindle bolts. My 1946 parts manual shows a great exploded view. With that to help me I am good for all but one thing: The little...

I wanted to say a very Merry Christmas to all those many members who have previously helped me with my Flathead build up. And the many others who I hope will help when I need it in the future. So as they say in Hawaii, "Maka Kalikimaka" to all of you and yours. Have a very Happy HOBBY...
