A Good Day no doubt! Say hi to Gary for me.

Hank

Steve you contribute Soooooo much to this community beyond words. I personally "Thank You'!

My remarks were only a positive reinforcement referring to peoples free choice of their likes, resources available, and the likes there of.

Rock on Mister!!!!

It is not of us to judge what another does with their cars or other items. Then we need to look with purity at ourselves first. Some may not have the funds or resources to enjoy what they have as others may see as incorrect. So as a club of good standing people, we need to embrace all attempts in th...

Yes you can Daniel, I would bypass the original condenser and use a VW 009 style either at the distributor or at the coil. Stand the coil upright if it is an oil fill type and away from heat for best results.

Hope this Helps,

Hank

Looking Good Robert! And of course we know the young lady is doing all the work!

Hank

Mark have a few good ones that would go great for your project!

Hank

WOW! Only the second one I have ever seen

Very nice car at more than a fair price for sure!

All the Best in selling it,

Hank

Sometimes your clutch dogs hang up too causing a similar condition.

Hank

Can make you up some in a dark brown, keeps them from squeaking!

Rebuilt rear ends, Winfield carbs, Chevy adapter plates, misc, etc, etc.

Hank

No welting Danny, but I have installed it on certain models and does look very good.

Hank

Have two sets left for $400.00 per set of 4 plus shipping.

Hank

We like our road.., why.., 12 houses total for two miles up the road. Keeps development down. The city is currently repairing the drainage culverts, etc. We love our wagon trail!

Took dear ole Dad out for a drive to pick up some small hardware.

I hear you Dan! Never ever required it.

Hank

To easy to do it even with the head on. Vacuum cleaner and pilot drills working your way up.

Hank

The engineer gave his life! LOL I did multiple temperature checks over the years and found there is a heat eddy right where I marked it. You really want "True" head temperature when it comes to engine performance. As another find, MotoMeters are off by up to 10-15 degrees. Just in my observations. A...

The best spot is here Danny!

Hank

Dad's scrap pile....., Really!

Frickin' Ouch is right! Jerry, if you can not find one, let me know and maybe I can fabricate you one from what you have.

Good Luck,

Hank

Pretty ingenious Steve, a new lease on life! LOL

Email sent to Robert.

Hank

I think I have one, will look and get back with you.

Hank

History of taxes was a unique subject back in my college years. The 18th Amendment had in its description of conditions of lost revenue due to alcohol sales, for the first time..., personal income taxes. The government was going to be missing out on 6 million dollars a year. With the repeal of the 1...

Thanks for the heads up Frank and of course Jay! Just another reason why I am quitting. Too much BS and paperwork.

All the Best,

Hank

Old age and treachery will over come youth and skill!!!! Now see if she can remove the pebbles from your hand!

Good Job Frank!!!!!!

Robert, You said.., "I did this and I did that" pictures speak a thousand words man. I guess the young lady is finally done with math exams. Small fingers, sharp young eyes, and a chance to help Dad all bonuses. When installing those column rivets, I have found that having someone hold the column le...

Someone had an oxygen/acetylene torch and not the means to do babbitt work. How many years have past since its day.

Hank

Might want to try a cold solder method of penning into place. Just throwing out options.

Hank

Allan, he is in Cali-fruity and their DMV is not very friendly. Easier to just to re-stamp a block with period correct numbers and say nothing.

Hank

Dallas at the price of gas and sounds like it is going to hit the roof..., its your best way to help your community!!!!

LMAO!

Have its twin for $250.00 if anyone needs it.

Hank

I have a few to choose from, not cleaned or Magna-flux but appear to be crack free. Will be at Luray in May.

Hank

Thanks Steve, sounds like things went well!

Hank

Nice selling tactic Jay! LMAO!!!

Doug it appears to have a starter hogshead and starter, to keep the battery charged up after use.

Just Sayin,

Hank

After years of restoration of T's and other vehicles, the comments above clarify that prevention of re-using 100 year old attachment hardware. On a second note: I quit installing magnets on flywheels due old hardware failures, faulty reproduction hardware, magnets, etc. After a couple of years they ...

Glad to hear you found the problem. We have all been down those frustrating roads.

All the Best,

Hank

In the US, Martin makes very good tools, the key is balance and using every hammer's face as it was designed. Buy a book by Frank Sargent, Metal Bumping, it is priceless. Good used sets of Proto, Snap-On. etc can be found too. Cheap forming tools can make your work look cheap, but there are kits to ...

Let me see what I have Tim.

Hank

BINGO Bill! I am very humbled by this as it is beyond good food for the soul! I see so much of myself through Donnie now as I was when his age. I remember difficult times in my adolescence trying to find myself and purpose. We all needed some sort of an outside family influence for positive reenforc...

And Dallas’s ride is very cool to say the least! I am going to put my Speedster in it one day! LOL

Layden I believe if you could not find one to re-cast from, you could take a reproduction overhead valve cover and add as required. I have had to do this on many projects in the past. Just throwing out some possible options.

Hank

Speedster hoods are normally 2" longer. Torpedo style for 16 and below.

Hank

Conventional 1/2” X 20 tpi will work for a roller.

Just trying to help,

Hank

It won't last at that price Mike!

HA HA HA!!!!!!!! I Do Know That as a fact!

Life happens.., I do not believe the dates were intentional, just a simple fat finger mistake.

Looks like they come from "Different Time Zones".

Sent out a check this morning!!!!!

Steve I have brass bungs but they are not original but work fine.
Email is acting up, you can call me at four 2 three ate 3 seven 57O nine.

Hank

Sure is Purdy!!!!!

Sorry for not replying back sooner. Only had one attached to a complete tank.

Hank

Very nice Steve!

Very nice thread Robert, You are making life time memories and a bond with your daughter.

All the Best,

Hank

Gotcha Ya Allan. Did see some that were not redrilled some years back. Maybe someone slotted them for easy on and off?

Hank

WOW! If this is not a wake up call to get involved I do not know what is. California use to be the "Mecca" for parts and swap meets, and how times have changed. I will be going to Luray, VA for the first time with Dad this year as he says, "a real swap meet". Maybe dim dar Virginians are on to somet...

Heater sold to another person, original poster did not respond in 24 hours.

Hank

Let me go and check in the barn, I think I have one left!

Hank

Ditto that Paul!

Hank

Frank,

Just a BEAUTIFUL CAR! Hope this finds you well and fine!

Hank

Sure does look like a lot of Hayes rims I have dealt with for Fords. Just sayin'

Hank

Have this beautiful Arvin never installed, $250.00 plus shipping. Email Only if interested. This has been SOLD to anOther individual. I waited 24 hours and no response from the original poster.

All the Best,

Hank

I do not have pictures but pretty easy to do with 22 gauge mild steel. just use the old as a pattern or make it to your liking. the key is to use a safety hem on the edges. You can use cobra vinyl when done to give it a cool look. Most I did years back even had common sense fasteners on the back so ...

Model A.

Hank

Anytime here Guys!

Three sold, Thanks MTFCA!

About 40 kits left.

Allan here it is called "crap".

Hank

Water board is it’s common name.., Rochford Supply Co. you can google them.

Hank

My wife says.., "It has a nice a$$" Unlike mine being flat.

That’s why I have replaced them with Chevy’s. Safe way to go!

My $0.02 worth,

Hank

I have some Chevy split rims if you can not find them, let me know.

Hank

You finish the assembling, $215.00 with shipping. Adapter plates, $65.00 with shipping. Email Only, other methods will be ignored.

All the Best,

Hank

Another option to lower pressure in an oil pump is to have a relieve exiting, meaning as I have found out the lubrication to the bands on top of the hogs head you can increase the flow or restrict as you want for pressure. This prevents high heat build up within the oil pump causing damage. More vol...

How many B210 pumps do you want? I have about 40 on the shelf. Pump, adapter, fittings, mounting bolts, gasket, oil filter (no gear installed) you finish up, $200.00 plus shipping. I am moving on to other interest/projects. Email Only if interested.

Hank

Wait until you are finished with the class before purchase. A lot of courses do not cover tin repair until you hit the second year or so. I do not recommend a crappy/cheap welder for tin work. Remember you are a beginner and quality becomes your coach. Buy a quality Miller or similar. Practice, prac...

I just noticed that..., Oops!

Look at Vowel Art!

Did have one.., sorry sold.

Hank

Only a $100.00! Heck I will take a pair!

For higher speed speedsters I have always used Jaxon (Chevy) wheel lock wedges on demountable wheels. Never had one come loose. Just my personal standard and nothing else.

Hank

Super good post Dom!

Glad to hear you are safe.

Hank

Might want to calculate your final drive @ 55 mph to engine RPM (1750 RPM flat head), (2000 RPM overhead) is in the sweet spot. Possible 10, 9, 8 tooth pinion gear would get you there depending on your outer circumference of the tires being used. You will need a lower support coming from the top of ...

Miles of Smiles and a bunch of grease for Mom to laundry out!!!! Nothing finer that a young man learning and having fun!

Hats off Carson and John!

Humbled Hank in Tin-A-See

PS One day I am going to open up a dictionary and see the correct way to spell Tennessee.

Thanks Bill! I think some people think others are stupid for what they pay. As you stated, “If both are happy...," As my dear Ole Dad says.., " Only worth what another is willing to pay"! Then we have those that travel half way across the country and only buy a $15.00 oil can. ”Don’t judge others un...

I thought I would share some old proven methods in constructing period style hugger fenders. The key in panel building is flexibility, strong joints, proper attachment, and most important...., vibration resistance. These are made from 20 gauge mild steel with only 1/8" by 1" strap steel on the cross...

This is the club of “Dah and Uh” correct? I keep wondering why my password does not work sometimes.

Only because you are different Les!

LOL!

Hank

Not really but seeing a young man confide in me about adolescence issues, on a bad path, failing grades, etc. To see him do a 180 turn around in 8 months is mind blowing. It is the most rewarding feeling and food for the soul to assist a young person on a path of life! I encourage all to get involve...

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bishop isn't a member of our club I think. He is just practicing knowing there is another snow coming to hide the evidence.

Hank

Well so far.., making progress here and there on the era/period correct boat trailer. Donnie and I got the axle mounted hugger fenders in pre mount.

A lot those style were used on antique boat motors and stationary engines of the era.
