Early Ford Axle Keys. Easy to make so I made some!

Time for a breather and just some little jobs.

Just some little jobs this time around. I decided to make some new Early Ford type axle keys. I needed one for the 33 coupe and can use others on my other vehicles. It wasn't difficult and could be dome by anyone at home with basic tools.
The garage roof was annoying me with debris blowing in and getting on top of the cars. I did a round of little jobs just to tidy up the area and take care of some building maintenance.
Back to a little more car related nonsense next time.

Tonights bit of light entertainment.

Geoff's bracket needed straightening. We get it sorted.
I paint the bootlid on the 100E. Green be Gone!
Geoff popped by on his lightweight Panther, just recently put on the road after restoration.

Thanks for dropping by Mart's Garage!

Mart's 57 T-Bird: Can I modify it so it starts in Park? Neutral safety switch upgrade! (Update 2434)

One of the quirks of these older Automatics was only being able to start in Neutral. This was a contributing factor to a little mishap I had when I accidentally selected reverse while working on the car. Luckily no damage was done. When I showed this, a comment from a viewer prompted me to do some research. I found a description of some mods done to the switch to allow the car to be started in Park as well as Neutral, which is more the norm in later vehicles. So follow along as I modify my switch using the forum post as a guide.

Twin carbs on a flatty. Just how difficult can a fella make it?

Mart's 1933 Coupe: Hot Rod Dual Carbs for Pendine! Part1. (Update 2435)

I have decided to run my 33 coupe at this year's VHRA Hot Rod Races at Pendine. I have ran it before in it's current configuration, so I wanted to see what a difference a dual carb setup would make. The rest of the engine is unchanged and pretty well stock. The manifold does not fit as is so follow along while I make a series of modifications. Lots of lathe and milling machine work involved in this job. Hopefully once completed we will see an improvement on the beach!
The engine in the coupe is the crusty flatty. The one I featured in a video series a few years ago. Check it out the playlist if you want to see an engine that in reality should have been scrapped.
I Hope you enjoy this offering. Don't forget: Keep it real! Keep it cheap!
