Kube...As usual, another beautiful restoration out of your shop. I've noted your "lunch hours" title at the top of this thread, and it reminded me of Vic Piano's long-running, similarly-titled, sometimes seemingly self-perpetuated thread. I also seem to remember some dialogue back and forth between you and Vic (I think I had a word or three on the subject in there, too) regarding the appearance of the finish of his axle bells on his Columbia rear end after he applied spray-bomb black paint to them. His Columbia bells appeared to have the remnants of rust-pitting that were covered by black paint. The axle bells on your current '39 restoration appear to be smooth.
My confusion lies in that I thought that Vic had implied, through his research with experts on Columbia rear ends, that somehow YOU didn't have all the correct facts on who actually manufactured the bells (Ford or Columbia), and that somehow, that played-into the equation as to why his were "lumpy"-looking, and your bells were not. The ones I see in your pictures above surely appear like one would expect they should. What's the story on "pitted" Columbia axle bells, for once and for all? In addition, is this possibly the beginning of a more-interesting thread geared toward real-world tid-bits about keeping these beautiful old Fords going, rather than band-aid and bailing wire back yard fixes inter-mixed with pizza? DD
No doubt you do excellent work. You do know that imitation is the highest form of flattery (lunch hour), don't you?
I also noticed a post from your biggest supporter my favorite 21st Century Troglodyte, V8Coupman. Too bad neither of you drove any of your Flatheads to the Moonshine Festival, as always, we had a lot of fun
but, after all, I guess it's more important to keep those undercarriages clean and shinny. 
My Flatheads are used the way Henry intended, I drive them everywhere and enjoy every mile, and pizza... Yeah Coopman, I like that too.
It also helps to have good friends that enjoy the same things.
