Re: My new Model A pickup
You must be getting tired of questions but, I have an engine that has sat out like yours how did you free up the pistons etc. No penetration solution seems to touch mine. The pistons are stuck and who knows what else. Jack

Re: My new Model A pickup
Try a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone, pour it into the cyls, let soak, repeat. FWIW

If your engine is not to bad, use some kind of penetrating oil in the cylinders. In the past I made a tool out of a old starter, put a nut on the shaft, bolted in place of the starter. Then turned it with a big wrench. That broke it loose. |

Re: My new Model A pickup
Are you going to do anything to the frame for strength? I just bought a 1930 closed cab last month. First problem was shearing an axle key as the castle nuts were too loose! Has Hydraulic brakes from a 1946 Ford pickup.

Re: My new Model A pickup
VERY NICE! love it. I've been building a 28 pickup from parts here and there. I picked up the body last month. I was amazed that it all fit into the bed of my truck when disassembled. My buddy's and I started working on it and there were some really rough areas so we decided to make it a roadster. The cab is 80% done but the build has been put on hold for right now as the wife got a new job in Winston Salem two months ago and moved down from Ohio. I've been back here getting the house ready for sale and it sold within two hours of hitting the market! We're looking at a house in Walkertown, NC that has an awesome garage! Hopefully we'll be all moved in by the end of September so I can finish the build. Looks like I'll be in the company of a bunch of model A'rs!
