Re: American Classic Vs Excelsior radials
I mounted the tire, inflated it, deflated it, broke the backside bead an applied a good dollop in five or six places between the tire bead and the rim. My buddy, who also “lost” a valve stem, used a...

Re: American Classic Vs Excelsior radials
I am running Coker’s tubes. Rubber stems in the Excelsiors and ‘31-style metal stems in the AC’s. No problem except you need to glue (tubeless tar in a can) the tire bead to the rim if you powdercoat...

Re: American Classic Vs Excelsior radials
I have 20K miles on Excelsiors on a Roadster. Four are great and wearing as expected. The other two have a shake, maybe because they’ve been in the side mounts. I gave up on them last rotation and...

Re: latest issue of restorer
Pitch the rubber standoffs and cut off the brackets. The screen will stay in place because you are gluing it inside the radiator surround. I successfully installed one in our 1931 Tudor. The surround...

Re: Model A Ford Trunk for my Victoria
