  1. That helps quite a bit, as you said, good place to start
  2. Hey guys, I've had this '41 century 4dr. for a while now, it was too far gone when I got it to try and save as original, so other than scrap it I decided to hot rod it a bit. I'm putting a 350/700R4 in it with a more modern front clip, along with that I'm putting in a 4 link rear end. here's my question, I'm going to be ordering some coil over shocks for the back but am trying to figure out what load capacity I should buy. the interior will probably be slightly lighter than the original as I'll be using more modern seats in it. I was wondering if anyone had a good guess as to the weight on the back of the car?
  3. sorry, I forgot I took the ad down, the car never sold so I was going to let it rest until I decide what to do with it. I may part out what I can then scrap the rest.
  4. Hey Guys, I've decided that I'll probably never get to this project so I'm going to try and sell it. here is a link to it that I posted on Facebook, if you have any questions please get up with me and I'll do my best to answer them. Marketplace - 1941 Buick Century Custom Sedan 4D | Facebook
  5. I will let it go, I have no need for it. Message me and we can figure it out.
  6. thanks Bob, I found his website a while ago and E-mailed him about it but never heard back from him. didn't know if he was still around or not so I thought I'd ask on here.
  7. too big for cam bearings, I'm pretty sure its for crank bearings but I get the impression it's for a specific make and year range. can't really find any info about it on google.
  8. hey guys, I know the name and number of this but was wondering if it's used on a specific make or years of engines?? Kent Moore T-137 "center bearing face cutter".
  9. Hey Lewis, thanks a bunch for the info---the drivers side came out normally---however, the passenger side decided to crumble. can you please post a source for the brass replacements? thanks
  10. WOW , very helpful --We knew it was something different but never expected this ---thanks a ton.
  11. thanks for the input, I/we are familiar with all 3 of those, unfortunately, none are present---we have pushed in the escutcheon as far as we can and there is no clip or pin. i've searched until I can't see straight and can't find anything specific on these, I'm hoping someone on here will have some personal experience with them. thanks
  12. Hey gang, My buddy has a '29 essex that he will be doing some interior work to, we're trying to get the interior door latch handles off so we can pull the door panels. we can't find any clips or pins anywhere and don't see anything obvious that will help. if anyone has any experience pulling these off please chime in, also, pictures would be helpful. thanks,
  13. I'll see if I can get one, the problem is the tag has some corrosion on it and I'm not sure how legible it is.
  14. thanks, I checked and the engine number does start with a "U", is there any way to tell if it's the original for sure?
  15. Hey guys, I'm trying to help out a buddy who has a 1929 Plymouth 2 door sedan for sale, the car is in very good condition and mostly original. it starts and moves on it's own but will need some brake work to be usable. it still has what we believe is the original motor and trans in it. I don't think the upholstery is original but I'm pretty sure the headliner is, the roof looks pretty new and in great shape. he bought it to use as a start to a hot rod but would rather not cut up great mostly rust free car. he's asking $9500.00 OBO for it and it's located in Chesapeake Va. I can find out pretty much any information you desire or I can put you in contact with him about it.
  16. here is a picture of an instrument cluster that is identical to his. thanks,
  17. Hey Guys, A good friend of mine just picked up a nice '29 essex "super six" complete car, it's in decent shape for it's age but it's missing the amp gauge from the cluster. does anyone have one they'd like to sell? please let me know as I'm trying to help him locate one thanks.
  18. Hey guys, does anyone know where I can find any information about my '29 Nash, I'm looking for dimensions mainly such as head room, width, length ----that kind of stuff also, how does the 2 door body compare to the Ford model A body of the same type? thanks,
  19. Hey All, I've got a really good friend of mine that is selling his custom built '63 C-10 --- I know this truck very well and no corners were cut on this build. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/319233065362452/
  20. Hey guys, I've got a couple parts that were going to go on my '54 Chieftain but I sold the car before they got installed. shipping is NOT included but can be arranged. I'll be going down to Charlotte "spring auto fair" and can bring the bumper with me if we make a deal prior to the trip. 1. perfect condition rear bumper fresh from the chrome shop ----$400.00 2. near mint lighted hood ornament --$300.00 3. rebuilt Jaeger clock ---$50.00 4. excellent condition hood spear (passenger side) -- could use a little polishing but otherwise in good shape ---$25.00 if interested please contact me through my email (build4you@cox.net) --- thanks
  21. Hey gang, well, I started cutting out the bad parts of the floor pans so I can patch them and as things usually go, there was way more rot than I expected so this is what I ended up with. by the time I got done cutting things out I figured it would be easier and better to just replace everything. and, since I can not find anyone who sells floor pans for the car I'm going to have to make my own. this is a blessing in disguise as it will give me the chance to build the floor like I want them and get some practice with the new bead roller. let the fun begin.
