I am looking at a 1933 terraplane is rough shape. How hard is it to get parts for these cars.
I am familiar with Ford and have a 1933. hye said hw has the headlights, but no seats, need bumper,
engine there but who knows, not running of course.
Consider using NON detergent oil. OIl non rebuilt engines have a great deal of crude in the engine crevices and even small cracks.
Detergent oil can sometimes remove that stuff causing the engine to leak.
Fascinating...I love the idea of air cool or are they actually oil cooled? Anyway, considering all the problems with cracked blocks on the old fords, do these air cooled also crack releasing oil?
are these power train parts?

Anyone have experience in the best way to cut the old battery case, so as to avoid problems in making the case for the old new battery. Maybe cutting the bottom off the old case so that it fits over the new battery???
I have a repro Ford 1933 battery that just cannot take a charge. Only 1 year old.
Has anyone had any success with these horrible repro batteries or should I just replace with a modern battery like optima.
antique car jacks were bottle jacks, right?
I have a 1933 ford, If I use a bottle jack is there a secure place to put it for changing ma rear tire and also a front tire if I get a flat?
