So I guess your a psychologist and a mindreader as well....maybe you should do some self examining. I was just giving my experience with the subject, did not need the attitude. I will make sure to avoid giving any help in the future, no wonder folks leave this forum for others....

Yeah...thanks for the lesson...anyway, i also felt why attach to the fuel tank if no need to, it fits fine along the crossmember. Whatever floats your boat...

Not original I guess, but I clipped mine along the rear edge of the crossmember. I just didn’t feel good about attaching electrical wiring to a fuel tank....

The Drake tanks are 11 gallons, and to use the original hydrostatic sending unit, you need to use an adapter ring, also provided by Drake. This adapter raises the sending unit slightly, thus throwing off accuracy (when my tank was full it showed 3/4) I found that i had to fine tune the gauge...

I just let the sun do its work heating them up, but i have been able to use it effectively with no heat to remove spot stains as needed.

Recently found this stuff, “whitewall wax” I was skeptical at first, but the stuff actually works. It has worked on every whitewall stain I have thrown at it. Just apply to a clean white rag and rub the stains away. It can also be used to treat and protect the entire whitewall. Used on...

I was curious and checked mine, I knew they had "C"s however my front also has these diamonds with a 1 inside them at four different locations. Maybe this is a supplying company identifier that was added on some?

On the floorboard, center (have to remove front seat) of my ‘34 is the stamping code “CHI” indicating Chicago manufacture location. Is the location of the code the same on a 35?

Lots of early V8s and very well done.... https://youtu.be/Hh5PSp51UGA

FWIW i had a similar problem with my ‘34, would puke coolant from the cap and overflow once I hit about 50 mph, no overheating. Installed 180 thermostats in my hoses and that brought it immediately under control. Runs great, and no more drooling....

Where can the metal insert shown in the far right pic 3rd row down be procured? I need them for my board, all else is correct, just need those two inserts

Thanks! Yes, it was fun and I learned a lot during the work on it. My first flathead V8 and I have to say Fordbarn was a big help with answers to questions, research and attaining parts as needed. Thanks again!

Actually was only 50mph....just seems faster from that vantage point...i swear...lol

Thanks! Oh yeah, it stops great with the properly adjusted and rebuilt original mechanical brakes. Of course if they get real hot they do tend to fade bad...

Now that my '34 is pretty much done, I have been out playing with it.....enjoy the short vid here: https://flic.kr/p/28Ht8Dt

Thanks guys, will get with LB tomorrow for more clarification.

Moving along on my new interior installation, I have a question concerning the headliner (my next step) In the LeBaron Bonney instructions it states the following: "on 1934 models only, continue tacking the tab along the top edge of the outer metal braces which contain cardboard inserts for...

Thanks guys!

Would the front wheel alignment toe-in spec for a 1934 4 Door Sedan be the same as a Model A? 1/16" plus or minus 1/32" ? Or is it some other spec (could not find any) Ready to align my car ( I have a Duby wheel alignment gauge) Thanks for any help

Thanks David, appreciate the info!
