Re: original '29 coupe trunk floor pan

Re: Sick engine

I would also plan to remove the oil pan and inspect / clean it up. Probably lots of crap in there. Hopefully no damage was already done by running it.

Re: Hot '53 Mercury flatty

So I called the guy that had it and I'm sorry to say, it's gone. Probably sold for scrap.

Yes a compression test is one thing I'm gonna do. This engine had the Merc-o-matic behind it originally. I have the starter from it. I also picked up a flywheel, cast bell, and starter plate. Will...

Re: Hot '53 Mercury flatty

Thanks everyone. I feel better now moving ahead on this. I should probably pull the pan and intake and take a peek inside just to be safe.

Re: Install of 1929 Sport Coupe Belt Rail molding

I used 2 wide pry bars behind the moldings and carefully worked the nails out from the wood...a little at a time. I haven't separated the inner and outer molding and don't plan to. I have no clue how...

Re: 29 Tudor electric wiper

Fred, did you test it on the bench or in the car? The reason I ask is because I don't see the copper "ground" strap that should be fastened under that one screw. The other end goes between the rubber...
