      I’m gonna send the body to Brent for dinging the dents out and painting, and the engine to Herm, if I can find it (pretty sure it’s in there somewhere). It’s all original and pretty complete, so I won’t need much from Bert’s (sorry Steve).

          Duct tape, Wiz we could make white duct tape to use as whitewalls all we need are investors.

            Hi Ray,

            After 100% completion, of utmost importance is to seriously Not forget to mix in MMO with the gas in the fuel tank; other than that, looks like everything else should be just fine.

              I really like the way the fan divided that radiator straight down the middle. I can say for a fact that that was not hit by a train, I have been on the train while hitting a car, and believe me, there were a LOT less straight panels left after we hit the car.

                Seen a house being moved hit by a train those guys saw it coming and got down on the floor boards and all went thru the windshields and they would not have made it.

                  There is a U Tube video about a bunch of A's being driven off a cliff. I think this is one of them.

                      OK, now it shows up, so what changed?

                      BTW, what's the story on the accident?

                          Not sure of the picture of the car though.

                            I looks like it was hit by a train or was a movie prop that went off a cliff.

                              Besides the wrong wheels and non original upholstery, how come the headlight glass isn't broken?

                              by Mitch
                              Long story short, Steve looked long and hard for an original car. He found this 1928 60A, 13,960 miles but never got around to getting much done. They did recently have it running and will try again soon after hanging an aux fuel supply and hot wiring the ignition. The wiring is suspect and the tank needs cleaning, so Dave is leary of starting it up using the existing original wiring and fuel source....

                              Not sure what the back of this ute is.

                              Not a Geelong ute.

                              Probably a one off farmer's build.



                              Canadian deluxe folding stanchions for a 28/29.




                              A feral 34 or 33 (I don't know the difference) chopped ute.

                              Dunno what body style it started life as, but it looked a treat driving in.

                              Not much early ford stuff at Cessnock swap last weekend.

                              A reasonably good (for over here) T tudor body for $2200 AUD.

                              Just a few Model A wheels and various small bits, nothing too exciting.

                              Was an older restored 53 chev 4 door sedan on full rego for $13K, if you like that brand. if it was a 53 Ford in the same conditon, they would have been asking $50K.

                              Yesterday, being Thanksgiving in the US, I sort of got a little carried away with feeling thankful for just about everything. Health being one of them. A dear friend of ours is in rehab after suffering a heart attack, and I feel rather lucky, even with the aches and pains that go along with getting older.

                              Need some opinions, Took my carb off today and this is what I found under the bowl, bowl doesn't have any holes in it and all the valves seem in good working order but that rust corrosion is pretty bad, also there is a small hole at 11oclock on the first picture it appears to be a machined hole, is it suppose to be there? Float has some dents in it also. Soaking it in evapo-rust overnight now. So...

                              Well, I wanted to start a thread on a trio of flatheads I bought a bit over a year ago (Nov 2019). A local car enthusiast was divesting himself of a large amount of his collection due to some health issues and he offered them to me for a price I couldn’t refuse, the price was so low I said yes before he even finished his sentence. Depending on the length of the process on each engine and how many...
