  1. odat, Keep in mind that wood work and metal work should be done with the chassis mounted on the body,not horses. The fenders should be "worked" mounted to the frame(front) and the rears need to be bolted and worked attached to the body.All the tin on the car needs to be fitted at least twice before paint ,making sure of proper fit, alignment,and correct body line gaps.With the fenders bolted to chassis,make sure all the apron ,running board ,and fender holes are a SLIP FIT for the new hardware. This work may damage the paint on your new chassis. I have worked bodies and fenders on a restored chassis ,but dropped a plastis drop cloth over chassis first ,them set body on to keep out the dirt . Good luck.

  2. Ron, Ive run a 1930 Franklin I own in extreme heat situations with a 4 parts gas to 1 part diesel with good results. No smoke , no plug problem and no vapor lock. It works! What also works is to add a t in the fuel line at the carb inlet and run a smaller return fuel line to the tank. Really quite easy to do ,with good results. Mike
