Can anybody tell me the shifting pattern for my car ..? I thought that it will be same as my 29 ... but Not .. this 24 ..it shows the reverse position in the front far right..is that correct..?

Thanks Hugh for the info ..! i was going to make it out of a left over piece of leather from the upholstery material, but its always easier to buy them from Bob's..

today i was able to reinstall the tie rod bar .. feets pperfect and now the steering is tight.

Hi Kevin. I already notice this issue on this carbs by reading one of the old posts.. my carb close the valve completely like the second picture.. it took me o lots of work trying to get the plunger loose from the adjuster with the spring inside.. was all rust it out. but with heat and a bit of muscle it around i got it loose..then the two bottom screws was the same problem.. heat it a few times to get it going.. ohh..! also the main shaft was stuck to the body .. , that was the hardest one of all.. but since there was a lot of aluminium to heat up .. it took a few times before got loose..

Today was cleaning the carb on the speedster ,, we have a vintage Dragsters reunion on Saturday here in ugly CA...! so we are planing on drive this beast to the place from about few block from it.. i was trying to start it by hand, what a job, and with a recent shoulder surgery ... it did kick me once .. but was to hard for me .. will try to post a video running on Saturday.

today was a great day for a cruse.! almost run over the mitget in front of me ...

ready to assamble this guy..

Best news i hear today Sunday Morning...!! enjoy it going for a ride.. Cheers..!! I'm going today..

fixiing tie rod bar ..! took me 3 hs ...to set it up and find out i had the wrong set up for the pitch...lol.. until i got it right.!

.

lost of work done today..vapor blasting some stuf..including the spare carb ..it came out like new.. don't have a pic yet . next step is heat treat the stud for the tie Rod.

Very sorry to hear this .. I have a friend is in the vintage motorcycles near Buffalo and his always around this old cars too. I'll pass the info. About a Year and a half ago i left my friend's Brand new flat heavy duty trailer hook up to my truck on the street across my neighbor. just because wont fit in my street to find out next morning thief cut the chains i had them with locks, and cut the pin too, trailer was gone , just like that.. i know the feeling , nothing close to your car do.., but i know . some one here said something i like it about the thieves.... they have to be hang to death..!

video i made today after installing the battery.. https://youtu.be/NqOg1UKF0_w

here we go again..! cold start on the Buick . got a good 2-00 battery cable made to spacs. and a 640 CCA batt starts very easy.. run a ground cable to the frame and other to the transmission bolt, just to make sure we have a good Ground. made the screen filter on the tank. fit just perfect . Now im dealing with the tie rods on the drag link.. the ball on the studs are pretty worn out , the two cups i think can be reused, but i refused to pay $134.00 for each stud, so i think i going to have them made new., or worst case scenario.. will weld them and regrind it back to size. I can't bealive the studs for a Model A are $8 to $16 ., and we Buick owners have to pay that ridiculous amount..! Unless anybody knows another stud from a truck or car that may fit , ball is 1 1/16 in diameter and threat size is 5/8 I will find a cheaper solution for this..! Cheers. Apolo

Kevin I just get to see this post .. All my respects to you on ALL that work your doing there ..! I guess I have to consider my self VERY lucky on finding a car that don't really need much wood work or body work . Keep up the excellent work..! Cheers ...!

Getting ready for a drive..!

1913 , T Racer. same day we got it home..!
