Re: 21 Stud hop up... Milling the head?

21 Stud hop up... Milling the head?

Re: Binding rear axle... what now?
Just wanted to follow up to everyone on what the deal was on the rear. So turns out both axles had their teeth beat to heck. They were sharp as razors and basically ground down. I'm pretty sure...

35 Tudor find, purchase, luck, and just huh...
Hey early Ford fans... So I happened along this 35 Tudor for sale and took a chance. Boxes of parts, drivetrain intact... your typical "stalled project". No real clue on how long it's been out of...

Re: Binding rear axle... what now?
Mart, I am lucky that this is a very clean "original" car. Someone had took the time to at least detail the rear, nice safety wire around the torque tube bolts. I have another 41 I need to...

Re: Binding rear axle... what now?
Ok based on the comments and Mart's explanation of some testing, I believe the spiders took a dirt nap.

OK, have a 41 Ford coupe that the rear is now binding when turning, then releases with the sound of someone hitting the bottom of the car with a hammer. Bang! I need to pull it all out but curious...
