With the wide drum transmission you probably also have a 4 dip pan.

While the starter if off, it is a good time to install a modern seal(sold by most parts suppliers) on the starter shaft to avoid another oil drip. You will need to cut the shaft bushing, but it is a pretty quick and easy install.

Sort of OT-rattle can paint problem
I recently primed and sanded a coil box lid in preparation for a new coat of black paint. Seconds after the black paint hit the primer it started to react with a cracking and spidering of the paint.

No shortening of the drive shaft is needed to change to a 26-27 transmission.

Re: Ident Trans bands.
The 26-27 transmission will fit in an earlier car, but in order to use the wider band you will need a 1926-27 pan and a 26-27 hogs head(transmission cover). The pedals can be swaped but the spacing on the 26-27 pedals are wider where the come through the floor board. It is also recommended to use pa...

Re: Ident Trans bands.
The wide bands are for a 26-27 transmission brake drum which is wider. Your transmission appears to be an earlier narrow brake drum so all of your bands will be the same width. Good luck witj your project!

Re: What Grille Shell is this???
Some drum headlights were also offered through aftermarket retailers like Western Auto. I have seen sets like the drum lights on my speedster in these type of 1920s catalogs.

Re: First Project
Look like early chevrolet, but I am not an expert on spindles. I know Chevrolet spindles have been used on speedsters because of the drop they provide.

Re: What To Do In Dearborn This Tuesday Afternoon?
Henry Ford's Fairlane estate is a short drive from THF. Not sure if it will be open when you are there but you could probably walk the grounds. Edsel's home is also worth a visit.

Dating Ruckstells
I'm sure the information about dating Ruckstells based on the serial number has been published somewhere, but I was just wondering where to look.
