Re: 33 Fordoor windshield removal

Unless somebody changed up the interior; removing the header panel does not entail messing with the headliner.

Re: 33 Fordoor windshield removal

Unhook the regulator either by removing the the two screws or driving out the pin. Take out the header panel and remove the two screws from each hinge then lift the bottom edge outward and the frame...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification

Rear mounts can easily be added to the '32 rear mount plate or as DavidG mentioned a '33-'34 rear mount plate which has mount tabs can be used instead.

Setting it up with a clutch would prove more...

Re: 33 Window crank and door handle pins (interior)

The escutcheons keep the pins from working their way out.

Re: 1934 Fordor roof

Last '33 we did the compressed paper was 80% gone so we removed the rest of it, then drilled the rivets and removed the thin metal channel that held the paper. It was in good shape so we had it...

Re: Hot rod steering box

Here's a picture of a F-100 box we put in a '32 that may help give you an idea of where it would live.

Re: Hot rod steering box

Looks like the F-100 box in your picture has had the output shaft cut square to fit a Model A pitman arm along with most of the flange cut away.

Re: Bumper bracket identification 1946 ?

Look like the ones on my '47. The rear irons are for the bumpers with inner holes farther apart; not sure the original rear range of that style.

Re: 1936 driver side door latch

Not the best pictures; but the end of the spring sits against the striker and is trapped in place.

Re: sagging drivers door -1936 ford tudorsedan

Check the door gap on the A pillar, if it is uneven bend the hinges to correct.

If it is even, something else has sagged and you probably will need to shim the body to bring the back of the door...

Re: 1936 driver side door latch

Maybe a little clearer picture. The arrow points to the original ears that retain the spring. Many times these ears break off when spread to replace a broken spring. The piece that Deuce posted is a...

Re: Brake drum question

They do and at a better price than Eklers; but curious about where they come

from (Argentina?) and if they more accurately machined than the ones that

were available previously.

Re: 12V ‘35 Battery charged starter won’t turn over.

You could always jump the solenoid with a pair of pliers; that should tell you something.

Re: 12V ‘35 Battery charged starter won’t turn over.

Seems like starter drives sometimes stick engaged when the battery is weak.

Rocking the car releases the tension on the ring gear letting the drive disengage.

Couple hammer hits to the...

Re: Directionals switch

From what you described; the power from the flasher isn't getting to the switch or there is a problem inside the switch.

I would remove it from the column, take it apart, and check the wire as...

Re: Oil Pressure Sender... 6v & 12v

Put a T in the engine and mount both senders then all the gauges would be operational, although a mechanical aftermarket would be preferable.

Re: V8 Rear Axle Width

While you could probably find a machinist that could shorten the stock tapered axles; it might not be so easy in this day and age.

You may be better off to switch to removable axles like Hot Rod...

Re: V8 Rear Axle Width

The number you need the seller to provide is:

"wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface"

Armed with that number, you can determine how it will fit your project.

Re: Tiny ends heavy axles

@rotorwrench Some DIY guys can do nice axles.

There is another dago axle on the deuce in the background; an old chrome one to boot.

Re: Tiny ends heavy axles

Hank, always asking about "early" period correct; nothing is more old time correct than one of Stewart's "dago" deuce axles as they were one of the first around.

Re: "early" '32 rear end rebuilders?

Maybe check with Ben Haag @ Bluefield Vintage in Mooresville, NC he does a lot of axles.

Don't always have to drive everywhere; parts can be shipped.

Maybe reconsider building it yourself;...
