    37 Pontiac "The Puzzle"

    I thought about it but Na, been there got real bored with it but I wish someone would get it. It doesn't look like he did much other than a V8 install. There is a huge load of very good parts that went with it if he still has it all. The $$ he is asking isn't all that bad if all the parts are...

    Any IR compressor guys here?

    I have a old IR Type 30 model 242D3 that the wrist pin on the rod end has gotten egg shaped and it started knocking bad and I am now down and cannot afford to be. The rods in this thing are bronze/brass and I cannot find any info on the 242 D3 but a lot on 242A or B models. Is there any...

    Yet another long boring restoration 37 Ford

    AAA! there in lie's the problem I have with this. No! some will stay and some will go. I want to redo it all but the owner will not believe that the car has some real value and refuse's to put the money into it. We have even tried to buy it from him but he won't budge. My only hope is that...

    Yet another long boring restoration 37 Ford

    OK, sorry guys but its a stocker:(. The front fenders are actually very nice now. The rears are where the real bad stuff starts. They have been patched very badly and again brazed patchs over the rust, not cut out but just covered over. I can't find the pics of them right now but this is what I...

    Yet another long boring restoration 37 Ford

    The front end looked ok but was in need of some metal work. I cleaned the years of crap out of the inside and took it all to my media blast guy. After the blasting the chit started to hit the fan. someone had brazed and bunch of patchs on then beat it in and loaded the bondo on. I know that's...

    Yet another long boring restoration 37 Ford

    I have gotten started on this winters build of someone else's car and not my 52. It is a 37 Ford Club Cabriolet. Going into this one I thought I was going to be building a very rare unique car and was to be doing it right. Well that all changed when I got most of it stripped and found what...

    The Puzzle replacement

    Well I have done it again. I got another one. 58 or 59 Herters Flying Fish. I also got the power for the Custom Craft now deemed "The River Rat" 115hp Merc 6 in a row. A little more than twice what they originally planned for it.:eek: I am not just on boats as I am doing a 37 Ford Club...

    Almost forgot. This is the plan for the rear deck but I am thinking it will end up being extended and making it a 2 seater.:cool:
