79 speedster

I'm getting ready to get into a Stromberg KO1 No3401 updraft carburetor. I'm looking for any information for this carb before I start the cleanup and rebuild. I've looked online without any success. My intention is to try it on my Overland model 79 and setup info would really help. Thx, Mark

Wanted: looking for a set of 19” .#30 64 spoke Dayton 32 tooth dental drive wheels or center hubs. Restored or restorable condition photos for reference

I don't have an answer for you regarding on question, but I'm looking for a project like that. It would be a great candidate for a custom build.

I found a hash pipe inside the under dash AC unit for my 1963 Nova. Not that i know what that's all about, but the bowl smelled just as it did in the sixties. Probably a quick stash to elude parents or the cops.

Just finished an eight year basket case disassembled in the 70's project last fall. It was definitely worth it, but now that I am in my late sixties I'm not sure I'm up for that experience again. I do most of the work myself in our garage and currently my feeling is the next car will be done or close to being done. Of course that can change in a heart beat depending on what I may find. BTW, I am looking for the next one

as a member of the WOKR you can get the factory prints for the covers. I had mine made by my upholster Mark

No, I have my email on the ad and he originally emailed me. I probably should only rely on PM responses and should edit my ad. Honest people forget that there are bad elements everywhere.

I want to warn all of our fellow antique car enthusiasts that scammers are using our forums to try and rip us off. I have a classified ad posted and a guy from TX contacted me to purchase my goods. We agreed on the price and the shipping costs. The check was supposed to be coming my way. Then I get a text that his secretary issued a check for double the sales price. His story was he was in the hospital caring for his sick mother and his gal screwed up and sent the wrong amount. THIS IS A OVER PAYMENT SCAM. I called him on it and amazingly the check that was supposed to on its way hasn't landed in my mailbox. This dirtbag goes by JAMES EDWARDS and his phone number is 774-247-0675. Apparently the 774 area code is famous for these scammers to use. Be careful my friends.

Mike, I have sent you a PM. Lets get it done.

I'm getting ready to mount tires on freshly painted rims for my Model 79 Overland wood wheels made by the Standard Wheel Company. These wheels have the rim, inside continuous ring and the outside split ring. Hoping to get advise as to completing this task without destroying the brand new finishes. The inside ring is easy, but I see a challenge for the outside split rim. Looking online, there only seems to be tools or spreaders for the Model T type spit rims which wouldn't seem to help with the style ring the Overland used. After investing more than 100 hours in these wheels in prep and paint any advise, pictures or videos would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi 41 Su8, What are you asking for these wheels? Do you have pictures you could send? Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the compliment Curt. Necessity is truly the mother of invention. Mark

I am currently doing an Overland speedster that was made only in 1914 with an estimated production run of 48 to 50 cars. I have had to reproduce some cast parts that where only used on this model. When I looked into having patterns made for the cowl light brackets the cost was shocking. The estimate was $2600 for the two patterns. I decided to take a weekend and do it myself. They turned out very nice, had three pair cast in bronze and reduced the total cost to about $350 per pair. Even though they cost about $350/pair, it was a cost we where happy to spend to get a part that does not exist. Now that I was successful doing the cowl light brackets it gave me confidence to carve patterns for the cars spoon throttle system which also does not exist except in a factory blue print. Also there is personal satisfaction of learning or doing something new. Check out the attached pictures of the patterns and castings.

Steve, check out this site for ideas for your new T project. http://www.nwvs.org/ The T speedster dominates in the photo gallery, but as you go through the 100 or so member's cars there are some cool things that could be incorporated into a T speedster. I especially like the EMF speedster. Mark
