  1. Im curious how it came to be that the Ford and Metz heads are almost the same footprint??? Who copied who??
  2. I KNEW it was a scam when I offered 10K in hand cash. All he had to do was respond with the address where the car was so I could take delivery. NO response.
  3. Fits 1934 Ford, If it was 17 inch it would fit a 1933 Ford. Too bad its so rusty. They sell for a min. of $100.00 if not pitted after blasting.
  4. Interesting weighted shocks on the rear springs...
  5. I think with some massaging it would work, thank you!
  6. I am seriously considering buying a 1933 Lincoln KB 12 town sedan. Its a big heavy car and just curious what the group thinks of these cars if they have any experience with them, I want it for a closed car to drive distances with in comfort and safety.. IE lights, brakes, roadability ect ect. Thc has had a body off restoration . Thank you

  12. Jorn this is the differential i got at hershey for the baker. Ill need to narrow it up but its the vintage and even was red!
  13. In our little town of Livonia, nobody cares what anyone does as long as they know about it.
  14. This is NOT the wrecked LOCO , but if you have to see a wrecked old car , here you go. This is a 100 HP Vanderfbuilt racer by Chevrolet
  15. Buy a 5 gal pail of EVAPORUST and submerge that assemble for a month. It works and is great stuff. It will come out like a new nickel! Its better because it eats the rust in the treads where you cant get at. I love the stuff now after avoiding it for years because Im sutborn .
  16. I just stumbled onto this picture of me in my 1908 McIntyre wagon taken in 1978. The picture was taken at The Dome Arena in Rochester , NY at a Jim Sandora collector car auction. The wagon didnt bring enough to sell, but the auctioneer told me to send some pictures to Auburn Ind . He said the museum received a grant from the Kiblinger family to acquire a McIntyre. Long story short, the museum bought it. Its on the second floor after being rebuilt when a warehouse fire they had all but destroyed it. It was a fun little ride, started quite easily and would run about 18 MPH. The second picture is as of today.
  17. Can anyone ID this brass starter switch that I used on my Mitchell? To me it has a 1915 circa look. Id like to find another .In the picture its between the clutch and brake pedals. Maybe from a early aftermarket model T Ford starter setup?? Thanks Mike
  18. I went and looked at this car today. Its had a easy life... The interior is nice except for the seat issues from the sun. Nice original carpets , a KILLER dash and dash pad. The headliner has a hole in it , but a new correct one comes with the car/. It started right up and runs good. The seller is a accomplished mechanic and has the car now running and yard driving. The engine compartment is clean and rust free. Nice moldings and real nice grille. The hood has a RT scoop added where it belongs from a donor hood. Now the reason I didnt buy it as it has some fluff low in the quarters and lower ft fenders.. It was done a long time ago. I was totally under the car , he put it up in the air for me,. He is a first class seller , no bull from this guy. I counted 4 other mopars and a 55 ford in his garage. The underside looked good but scalley. If it was mine Id shoot it with crushed walnut shells and spray it black . I noticed a new battery water pump rear springs and more.
