Given the quarantine situation I’ve been at work pretty much non stop. Our parts sales business staying steady and strong thankfully, and in the last week I gotten a lot of bigger rebuild jobs completed that have been awaiting, and a pile of distributors restored/rebuilt. Attached some photos of a few projects. What are you guys currently working on?

Hopefully they aren´t planning the same...and you´re outnumbered 2 to 1 :D
 
Out it comes ---
While they are known to leak......there is more on the ground than in the case.
(note to self -- a lot easier to do when the body is not on)

A comment to nelsb01. I just finished assembling a 1935. For whatever it is worth, I bolted the battery ground strap to the motor mount near the brake return spring. The starter worked a lot better than when it was attached to the clam shell bolt. (It still wasn't too great but it was better). Jim in San Jose
 
Thanks -- V8nut
When originally re-assembled by me, about 500 years ago it seems, I was just following the pictures and documentation that I had. And what the 1935-1936 Ford Book that the EFV-8C published stated.
Of course, I should have mentioned that the transmission didn't leak until I put gear oil in it.
But everyday is a new adventure. And it starts when you get out of bed.

Michael,

I'm glad things are going well for you. I haven't had an inquiry since this started.

"I'm all dressed up with no place to go!".:D

I have an old farm house that has plenty of opportunities for projects both inside and out. I think I also need to put together a shopping list for Third Gen to make headway on the car project since there won't be any swap meets any time soon.
 
Luckily still stable with work-work unless the powers that be deem us "non-essential":eek:

Working on several Holley NH's for rebuild and hope to get the 26 back together and running soon. Driving the 39 lately as the weather has been good, but that snow melted right away today eh Mark.

Our whole country is in lock down but as a medical practitioner I am considered essential and get to go to work every day and try and fight this virus.

A lesson learned from Italy it is now believed that the reason it spread so rapidly there is that when people got unwell they all went to the Doctor and infected others in the waiting room . For this reason most of primary care consultations in this country are now virtual email, phone or video . A weird way of working and strangely exhausting as without the normal visual clues you have to really concentrate .
