Mike , Auto glassics just north of you in Eugene OR. has all your glass and has good $$$$. PLEASE don't take the car all apart at once. This has been the death of soooo many cool cars in the past as the person gets overwhelmed and never finishes it. Tim

Thanks. I read that here about the fuel pump.

At present we are inclined to replace all of the wiring.

The water pumps turn okay and the seals seem good, but they are pretty crusty inside. They shouldn't be difficult to clean.

Tim, I understand, and I've seen this too. I have torn cars down to nothing and managed to finish every one of them.

Thanks for the tip on Auto Glassics.

I don't think I mentioned this, but an interesting aspect of this project is the owner is one of the physicists credited with discovering the "God particle". He's here with me when I am working on the car, doing what he can to help, and loving it. This was his father's, grandfather's, and great grandfather's car, and he remembers riding on the shelf behind the seats when he was very young.

I would give a close inspection of the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump - may be rusty with pin holes in it. You have a good car to get back on the road - nice to work on. Enjoy!!!

I posted a couple of what I have. You can see them on page one of this thread.

With all the rain and last weekend's race I am staying home today to sort and dry my tools. I'll be back at it tomorrow and will get more photos.

The see the photos people might need to reload the page. The old page without photos might be loading from memory, not the fresh one from the web site.

No pics here

deuce_roadster · 12-05-2022, 08:48 PM

Photos are probably too large (too many pixels)

Lanny · 12-05-2022, 10:23 PM

OK, they came out of hiding and coming in BiG...

m610 · 12-06-2022, 12:25 AM

I thought I uploaded 1024 pixel wide photos. Is that too big?

m610 · 12-06-2022, 12:27 AM

We plan to paint the engine the original green. I need to clean it first. It was rebuilt years ago but not painted and the bare metal needs cleaning.

In the original engines, was the aluminum intake manifold painted or left natural?

38 coupe · 12-06-2022, 05:39 AM

The aluminum intake was left natural.

If you are duplicating how Ford painted the engine then you have a bit of masking work to do. Ford painted the cast iron parts, then machined them, then assembled them. All machined surfaces on the block, heads, and timing cover should be bare metal. The head studs are bare metal. The head nuts are cadmium plated (I think) and are not painted. I clear coated the bare surfaces on the last one I painted like this.
