Re: Market value … Good catch. That is a McCulloch supercharger. I bought it as a complete package, it has a lot of the needed parts , not just the unit. I’m guessing it will need going through on the unit itself . I never ran it on a car . I spoke to some guys on Facebook that made a...

Re: Market value … Good eye ! The guy I got the car from had changed out the items you mentioned for some odd reason. I’m trying to recall what year intake he said it is. He said he went to the stromberg carb because it ran better for him 🤷www.jalopyjournal.net♂️

Re: Market value … Yeah, storage unit cost where I’m at is crazy expensive so my goal is to empty that out and sell it all off. Goal is to finish a 1932 3w abandoned project I bought that was about 70% done when I got it . I figure may as well sell off stuff I’m not using to cover cost of...

Re: Market value … Thank you BoxCarTom ! I appreciate the pricing help !

Re: Market value … They are original , paint is nice enough for a driver , but they aren’t dented so they could easily be repainted if someone wanted to run them on a car with a nice paint job .

Re: Market value … He had seen pics of the items and asked me for prices for each item, so I told him give me a little time because I honestly didn’t have a clue what some of the stuff would sell for . I’m in the process of clearing out a garage and storage unit of parts .

Market value … So I’ve tried sorting through previous for sale adds on here to try and help me get a ballpark of what market value is for some of the stuff I’m selling to a friend . He’s gonna buy it all, he just told me to work on finding out what other people were selling the same items for ...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … Previous owner paid a shop to do it but they never hooked up the shocks in front , I’m guessing all the time it was riding around like that ended up making things come loose . I’m gonna tell my mechanic to replace any non original bolts /washers with grade 8...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I jacked the car up finally once rain was gone. I grabbed the drag link maybe 8 inches from where it connects to the steering arm and pushed it , the steering arm was moving a bunch . the bolts that hold the steering arm in were loose along with some other bolts...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I tried to find a date code on the outside facing side of the tire but no luck. They look old to me though.the whitewall has tons of thin cracking throughout it which I wouldn’t think you’d see if the tires werent old. I’m gonna order a new set today . Brand on...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I have an appointment this morning . I will take pics of front /rear suspension as soon as I get home . Sorry about that , I should’ve done that already .

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I will double check the rear tire size , I think the car has 6.00x16 front and rear I tried to take a side pic of my front tire . Maybe I can bring it up a little bit in front and rear . Is there an easy way to do that or am I gonna have to buy a lot of new...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I will do a search to find further info . I will also go through your checklist. I think I’m gonna try a set of those new diamond back radials that look like a bias ply . Also gonna try and figure out easiest way I can raise the front /back a little bit . I will...

Re: Sudden violent vibration … https://carrillocustoms.com/products/1935-36-ford-front-end-lowering-kit-puts-a-6-00-16-3-1-4-whitewall-edge-and-the-fender-opening-edge I believe this ^^ kit is what the previous owner used to lower the front

Re: Sudden violent vibration … The vibration started in a slight curve not sharp enough for tire to rub, but then it was a long straight away and vibration kept goin .

Re: Sudden violent vibration … These tires look like they’re old , lots of spiderweb cracking in whitewall . I think I’m gonna order a new set of tires just to know what im starting with . Those and an alignment , if it’s still doing it I can at least rule out those items .

Re: Sudden violent vibration … I actually am running a set of old bias ply tires on it. Yeah, the car was already lowered before I got it so I will try and have someone check out the geometry . I will also try and go through the list you made and go from there .

Sudden violent vibration … I recently purchased a 36 ford roadster , original drivetrain . It had driven pretty smooth up to this point . I was on a drive last night and suddenly the car began to shake violently, I was having to really hold onto the steering wheel it was so bad . I limped the...

I’m in need of a 1932 3w seat frame for a 3w coupe that is almost due for upholstery. I think a 5w seat frame is a touch narrower but worst case I would use that if I can’t find a 3w . Not sure if 1933/1934 3w seat frames are around same width as 1932 Ford 3w frame .If so I’d use one of those too

My 1932 Ford 3w is getting close to needing to do the interior on it . When I bought the car as a project it had NO seat inside was empty . I’m trying to find an original 1932 3w seat frame and tracks . If someone has one or the other I’d buy what they have .
