Taillight lens is for a 63-64 Impala.

The engine in the small car looks like it may be a V-4!

Thought I made a follow-up on the tank, but I guess not. We cut the filler tube off at about four inches from the tank. Fits into the saddle just fine now. Got a piece of marine grade rubber tube and a few of the heaviest hose clamps I have ever seen! Mated up with the truncated cap end of the tube. The rubber is kinda stiff for getting the exact right angle coming through the fender, but will have to do for now. Still need to do gas line fit-up, but work has not allowed any time for this in the last several months. Doing what we can when we can.

That's a 1935 Sad Situation.

1950 Chrysler Windsor

Fenders are not right.

Looks a lot like the gear for a 1929 or 1930 Buick 6.

Looks like a touch of Crosley in there, too.

The tear-drop light looks like the standard aftermarket running lights I bought at a parts house for my hay truck back in the 70's.

Installed new gas tank sending unit into the tank, since it won't be accessible after the tank goes in. After much blood, sweat, and tears, got the tank filler tube through the opening between the frame and the body. The tank won't fit up into the saddle and is generally way off in several dimensions. Will take it back to the shop next week for adjustments.

Where are you located?

Time for a few photos. Thought I had a lot of shock absorber before and afters, but they have gone missing.

Well, finally got the gas tank back last night. Looks pretty fair, but pretty rough coating on the outside. Feels good and smooth on the inside. Functional, not asthetic. However, it is not like these grow on trees. Had to take the spare tire indentation and filler neck from the original tank and scab them onto a very similar new tank. Too busy to work on it right now, but hope to jump on it in a couple weeks.

My guy has had the gas tank for several months now. I always get the "It'll be ready first thing next week" or "I'll call you day after tomorrow", which he never does, etc. Very frustrating. Yesterday morning he said it should be ready to pick up in the evening. Called at about 3 pm and he had already gone home for the day and nobody else knew much about the tank. He did a great job on my radiator, but he has lost me as a customer for anything in the future. I would like to get it back and installed before my son loses all interest in old cars.

Well, way overdue for an update! Tried to locate a tank for over six months. Evidently, they don't exist or nobody is letting them go. Cleaned up our tank and took it to be reworked in January or so. Still waiting on it. Should be ready next week, as the previous several weeks. On a better note, we had the radiator rodded out and returned to as-new overall, and then installed it. Worked over the passenger side front suspension and shock absorber; hadn't been done yet. Cleaned, regreased, and reinstalled the front wheel bearings. Installed the brakes all around. Front slave cylinders were fine after rebuilding, but the rears needed to be replaced. Brakes work great! Took a lot of doing, but finally got the emergency brake cables freed up and usable. Reinstalled front fenders. Reinstalled the hood and the shined up grill with new red accent stripes. Painted and installed one parking light grill. Other still needs stripes painted. -painful. The starter was kicking out early, so we installed a new drive gear assembly, and reinstalled the starter. Haven't tried it, yet. Removed all four doors and installed new weatherstripping. all door trim panels are off for redoing when ready. Installed proper weatherstrip for trunk. Reinstalled the headlights. Located and bought a replacement piece for the big trim at the rear license plate. Rebuilt both rear shock absorbers. What an education! Both were frozen. Discovered that we broke the screws that hold the two pistons together in one. Didn't realize they existed until the pistons would not relocate after stroking. Replaced screws. All better now! Rear of car bounces approximately 1 and 1/2 times or less, as per design. Been cleaning and painting underside in preps for receipt of gas tank. Sandblasted all four rims (spare is still in original condition in the trunk) for free at work (-$) and painted them. Had new tires installed on the rims and put the front wheels on the car. Backs are waiting for gas tank. Looks nice with those big 4" whitewalls! Still looking for new muffler, horn ring, and a few small items. Getting closer!! Pictures forthcoming.

Holy smokin' tobacco! What a nice collection of parts.

Looks like an aftermarket add-on.

Unfortunately, the standard and master cylinder blocks are not interchangeable. Thanks anyway.

Would you be interested in selling the center block section of the 1930 engine (cylinders).

Nice site! Can't wait to take the time to go through your whole "logbook".

Sorry, work has had me very pre-occupied. Yes there has been progress. I will update soon. Thanks for reminding me.

Does anyone know of a source for the endcap gaskets for 1940's era Delco double-acting shocks? Valves, springs and seals, too, if available?

Perhaps these are aftermarket numbers?

Those were my thoughts, too, but the numbers don't jive.
