Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
I was starting to feel like the Loan Arrainger. I finally spent about 4-5 hours in the shop today. It was a 35 degree heat wave. Now my dogs are barkin'.
So ya know what they say... Jetzt, da der Staub gelegt hat, seine Zeit bei der Arbeit ws

Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
Forgot about the new mechanic... congrats! Ahhh to be young again... What wrong with the powder coated stuff? If its a color change, scotchbrite it and spray them. If it needs stripping, a propane torch is you friend! Bliister it and wire brush or scrape off the mass of it. If its on threads, a good wire wheel will do it. ws

Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
My Dad is a faboulus wood worker.He thinks we should just do it our selves.He thinks he can make the spokes himself no problem.I am on the other hand skeptical about the whole thing...I will see him this weekend and maybe bring it up again. I need to do some studing up on the process.Would be a great skill to posess in my line of work especially.

Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
So what is the general thinking on cam shaft gear makeup? the old fiber one looks to be in good shape.I have a generator and have read I believe that the fiber with a generator is a no no.SO?...aluminum or bronze...the dang bronze is 150?My budjet is in serious turmoil so IF it is not too terrible of me I need to reuse the fiber...but would hate to make the fatal misjudgement...I also heve some wear on the #1 cam lobe where the lifter does not ride there is a ledge where the lifter does contact...I guess I really should do a cam and lifters...OPINIONS...? I can post a pic of the lobe and check lift with a dial indicator if that would help...JUUST when I was thinking I would get something accomplished...
also..what amount of clearence do you fellas look for on the mains and rods? Thanks,Aaron

Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
Hey gentlemen. LONG time no type.
I have sold my daily driver project(finished) and hopefully my 41 ford(project) here in a few weeks at the frog follies. That will free up my shop space so I can get this t spread out in enough space to get down to work. Also selling a few of my fleet should free up some funds to get a few needed parts as well. Mostly I need time and space. Hopefully I will get some progress and some steam back on this to be able to drive it next spring. My little gals arent getting younger and I need to get to driving something fun other than my diesel pickup.

Re: my 1925 tudor project thread
Progress to commence once again. Selling the 41 took longer than I thought it would take. I have gained plenty of room to be able to get back to work.
I think I will finish the front axle assembly first. I may order some spokes and send some wheel parts to powder coat so I can get it on wheels. I need to pull the rear axle apart and see what I need to order other than side washers. pics and progress to follow !!! I am sorry for all these false starts.
