    A Massey-Harris 33.

    That would have been my suggestion. I have some tiny slitting saws (1"x1/16 tool steel) that are usually used on a mill or such, that would work with the right arbor in my die grinder.

    Custom Mopar ????

    This won't help much, but... This happened early in my 39 project. One fateful evening in the rain, I bought a dirty set of dropped spindles off of CL. Actually, spindles springs, rotors, etc. Good price. When I got them cleaned up, they were stock and the springs were short. Seller told me he...

    Amazing Old Photographs

    Looking back a few decades, I can sure see where my life was not as great as it is now. I'm just glad I didn't know it back then. It was just the way things were. I didn't know it was too hot to play outside in the summer in the middle of the Mojave Desert. I didn't know a lot of things were...

    Custom Mopar ????

    Lookin' good. If you remove the overload springs and add a set of 2-inch lowering blocks, the frame will (should) sit about level. Or some variation on that. I didn't pull the overload on my 39, but the block gave me the stance I wanted. Almost level. It also looks like (can't tell for sure)...

    Bamamav's 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe build

    I'm taking notes, Bama. I have a 40 ford axle that will go under something and will need a similar treatment, I believe.

    Another 1928 Tudor A-Bone

    There is a very good chance I will, just because it is more voluptuous than the 32. And, the 32 will be easier to resell. :D

    Another 1928 Tudor A-Bone

    A while back I sprung for a windshield upper hinge, and stuck it in the pile of parts. Found a "lot" of Model A parts on eBay. Won the bid. Got a nice set of side garnish moldings for the windshield. The collection also included what appears to be a NOS set of the same for a 30/31. There were a...

    Looking back

    I bought a salmon pink 56 Vicky four door in the summer of 1967 for $200. My father wrecked his new Chrysler the next day and, since I was a 19 year old kid in the Air Force, he decided that he needed to borrow my car while his was in the shop. I hitch hiked back to base. After he got his car...

    Dino Oil shortage?

    State protected Russian hackers are having a bit of fun (and profit, I suspect) at our expense. Pipe line shut down. Trucks are mobilized, but won't be able to keep up. Rail tankers are on stand-by. Pipe line is supposed to be back on line in a week. If it hasn't cost us yet, you can bet it...

    Dino Oil shortage?

    My understanding: With Covid, there was an overall lower demand for petroleum products, so production was down. Now they are playing catch up. And prices are up. Gotta' love it. Every time I fill my truck, it cost more.
