This is an original spare tire cover and wheel from a Ford Wagon fresh from a local estate. Everything is all in good condition and ready to be refinished. I can ship anywhere . I can take the wheel to a filling station and get the tire removed to lessen the shipping cost for $5.00 extra. Mike 585 738 1541 Livonia NY Price is $250.00

I have a friend that restored a 1932 Auburn 8-100A boatail speedster. He sandblasted the chassis and painted the entire chassis with 2 coats of satin black Rustoleum . That same car sold a few years ago for over 300K. It looked great!

That would be quite a trick to turn this pressure relief valve into a whistle. Its worth the price you are asking for what it is! Mike

Butler silver is easy enough to achieve. Ive had this finish applied by two top notch plating shops before. Hear is the process.... #1 Have the stick Chrome or Bright nickel plated . #2 Use a 3m scotch pad after plating and rub the stick. It will knock down the finish to BUTLER! Im serious ..That's all it is.

Rip The wheel hubs weren't made specific to the wood wheel it was taken out of so don't worry about it.

Ken , Im sure I have a nice pair in brass. They came to me with some 1910 Mitchell parts . Ill send you a picture of them if brass works for you. Mike

Ford Model T only

Ft Wayne Clutch and Brake are also good. Fast turn around and always top shelf work.

Put in a freezer for a week or so.

I agree! Most likely Ms. Verhage's significant other has a garage full and she isn't getting enough attention. Will the orphan car survive???? It already has ! I agree that the common prewar stuff is in for a price correction. Just my opinion.

Well said! and CORRECT!

Joe ,exactly my take on it all. The more they charge the better ... It scares off a lot of buyers.

Buyers premiums to me are irrelevant. They keep a lot of buyers from attending and I think HURT the seller. But If Im a buyer for a car to 10 grand , I know when to quit bidding. I think they help get me get a bargain sometimes. This is just my opinion.

EXACTLY why I go to auctions............ What difference does it make (Buyers Premium) if you are buying right. Its a sign of the times.

Is the bottom of the door skin bad as well?? If so cut the bottom of the skin off high enough to remove all the cancer. Then you will access to the wood. Originally the bottom of the door framing had a flat steel plate screwed to the outside of the wood and the skin bottom was flanged over the metal. Its not too bad of a fix. The way I look at problems like this is the door isn't any good like it is so carefully take it apart and make the repairs . Do only one door at a time.

They were shot on it and the Vedder root odometer said I 305 miles. It worked when the car was owned by my grandfather!

The car is a "Salon" model . The custom models didn't have the twisted bumper. The disc wheels also a upgrade and available on both models.

Bob, I looked for over a hour yesterday and found a ring gear for a Cummins motor that is 1/2 inch smaller than the OD of the flywheel and 3/4 inch proud of the flywheel OD. It should work out - I was told .025 interference is acceptable for mounting the gear. Next I need to research what a 6/8 pitch starter would be applicable. I thought about the belt drive over the flywheel but would worry that the motor might leak enough oil that it wouldn't be reliable. Any suggestions on a starter?? 6/8 pitch. Im looking at different models to see which ones would adapt easiest. The motor is 12.8 Liters 6 cyl so It will need a high torque starter. All fun!!!! This is a shot of my motor before restoration.

Joe my 1902 crest used them and I converted.

This is what Al wants to buy, a oiler pressure site gauge like or similar to this one.

I listed this for my friend Bob Mahoney in NY this brass oil site gauge. Ive seen it and it looks like a good one. It may be early Buick. Bob wants $75.00 plus $7.00 shipping in the USA . Call him at 585 382 3164 or PM him on this site His handle is SELDENGUY. THIS IS THE CORRECTED # 585 382 3164

I spoke with Al today and he is going to look but didn't think he had what I needed. The OD of my flywheel is 19 inches. He recommended a .025 interference fit for this size ring gear. If anyone else knows of other supplier's Im all ears. Thank you, Mike
