    Any tips for getting wheel bearing races out?

    I need some suggestions for getting the outter wheel bearing races out of the 47 Ford hubs that I have. The inner race seats have notches so you can get a drift on the races and walk them out but the outer seats don't have notches. There's less than a 1/16 of of the edge of the race showing on...

    36 Ford Bobber Build

    Ya they are! I've been looking pretty long. Paid a bit more for it than I would have if I bought the whole truck and parted it out but I'll pay a lot less with the wife not having the rest of the truck sitting around so I think it was worth it in that regard!

    36 Ford Bobber Build

    I just picked up a bed that should work. It's a 38. It has a tailgate as well. It's a bit rusty but I'll figure that out.

    36 Ford Bobber Build

    My buddy had this cool set of 16x4 wheels that he sold me. Only 2 of them had pinstripes. I managed to find a third one with stripes that match so now I need one more or I will try to stripe one of the other two that I have myself.

    36 Ford Bobber Build

    Wow, it's been awhile since I worked on the truck and posted anything! Since my last post, plans have been changed up bit. I'm still going to use the frame that I got but it's not going to get worked on until next spring. I am going more and more traditional with the build as well. I...

    Looking for a Model A Rear Crossmember

    Might be that they are "easy" to find in Montana but it's not worth a 6+ hour round trip drive to pick one up (I've only found one so far). I don't drive a damn Prius so I'd rather pay shipping! That drive won't even get me a quarter of the way across the state either LOL. You guys gotta...

    1931 Chevy 4door into pickup.

    I like the shifter! You can use a piece of aluminum tube for the shaft of your shifter if that steel is too heavy. There are a batch of places that sell aluminum twisted bar which would be cool too. It gives a pretty cool look without the weight. I kept discarding shifter ideas because I...

    Those signs are for the Chinese tourists. I don't want to sound prejudiced but they do tent to completely destroy bathrooms.

    Bonneville 2016

    I have a buddy that runs a 28 Dodge roadster in the vintage flat four class. They've set a bunch of records with it. They did 150 this year which would have been another record but cracked their block on the first run so couldn't back it up for the actual record. That's pretty dang fast for a...

    1929 Essex/Truck

    I'm with smallfoot, those are screaming to have lights in them either as turn signals or as running lights. You can pick up a bag of very bright tiny LEDs with the proper resistors already attached on ebay really cheap.

    '35 Ford 1 1/2 ton

    You seem to be making really good progress now though. Must have just gotten stalled out there for a bit during that 4 year stretch! I've been kinda stalled a bit this summer. It is summer though so a little hard to have motivation when it's super hot in the garage and there are a bunch of...

    36 Ford Bobber Build

    I got seriously sick between my last post and now. I missed almost 2 weeks of work which has never happened to me before so it was a rough one. I'm on the mend and slowly getting going again although I run out of steam earlier than before so I'm not fully recovered yet. I am slowly being...
