They might be Hudson/essex 28 or so. Some one has cut slots in the mount and changed up the wireing conection as it should be coming threw the hole in the bucket. I am going to get some measurements and get back to you, I my need them.

Looks like a Cub. You can see the tubular frame leaning up the wall.

Keep us posted as to what you find, you may get lucky. Keep it away from the "Rodder's"

Good eye Dwight

The car in the middle looks like a 27 Hudson to me.

I for one would pass on that power plant either.. Nice!

Fred, I will phone you tomorrow night and will walk you threw posting pictures. Paul

Great story, Do you have any period photos of the car when it was in your family?

and if thats not the cause ( but sounds like it is ) check your plug gap.

gertj, you are right, something has changed. Follow jon37's link. It takes you to the new home page which is very new and odd to me, start clicking on stuff and see what happens. I do not like change at all , and I do not understand why it happens. I will ask on the site, as I visit it daily, Trust me, you will want to join our group.

It's very funny, and a nice car. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4193066471.html

Could you not regroove the pistions?

The things they did before wind tunnels.

That my friend is what is called a "score" Good luck and have fun !!

That Mile a Minute has since ( I think ) been restored since Harrah's. It has been " over restored " in my opinion. the car is in the lobby of a very exclusive "gentalmen's club" in San Mateo.

That is some very nice work you have going on there. Thanks for posting.

There is no front brakes on that car

This is a problem on the Hudson Marvel riser as well. This is what most of us do, - The heat tube, if original, will have a seam running down its lenght. With a sharp chissel, pry open the seam then you can chase the seam down with a long strong screw driver, collapsing the heat tube within it's self and remove. -clean up the hole with a wooden dowel with sandpaper on it, mic the hole and find the proper thin wall pipe to replace. It needs to be a good fit, taped in with a dead blow. with the old tube removed you will want to remove as much of the built up carbon and gunk that is in the riser chamber before you put in the new tube. Next you will want to make a thin stainless steel plate that covers the exhaust to riser hole. This will stop the hot exhaust from getting in to your heat riser and end your cracking problems. With todays gas, we want cold air, not hot air. Depending on where you live, you may get some carb iceing untill it is properly warmed up. Hope this helps and gets you on the road.

Is the one you show in your pictures your's ?

Its an Opel from the early 30's. maybe a 29 even.
