I just purchased a kit for my 27 and Suzanne is wonderful to work with. Highly recommend them and their brakes. Cheers, Steve

I like your idea Craig. Ok so what tires do you guys recommend? I am only interested in black wall tires. Looks like the options are: Universal Firestone BF Goodrich Olympic Let me know your experiences and thoughts, or if you have any other recommendations. Please note: I am about quality before pr...

Hello All, I will (eventually) need to be putting new tires onto my Grandfathers 27 runabout with wire wheels. It currently has Garfield 4.40/4.50 - 21 from 2002 on it. They have very little wear and the car was stored in a garage out of the weather during all this time. One of the tires has some sl...

Kept at it until the water came out nice and clear. Visually everything looked good, inside but the hoses and connector pipe were in poor shape. Decide...

Getting to know the status of my Grandfathers T. Took off the inspection cover to take a look around in the engine. Just want to get familiar with the engine and it's current state. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised! First thing I see is dippers on the rods, then aluminum pistons. Everything lo...

Re-adjusted the shape of the carb throttle rod (pull rod) to get full quadrant and carb throttle range. Wasn't getting the carb throttle more than 3/4 of WOT before and was completely closed with about 5°left on the quadrant. I am sure it will be picking up at least 1/2 HP from the adjustment...I be...
