John, not sure Crosley's are big...
I did some detail work today, painting the CROSLEY script on the block and painting the steering column and frame rails.
Also found something that I haven't seen before, a valve cover breather with CIBA on it. Most I have seen are plain, or COBRA.

Well, I am back on the full size car again (almost full sized). Finished cleaning up the engine and put a coat of gray paint on it. Then started cleaning up the accessories, generator, brackets, and oil fill tube and then gave them a coat of black paint. I may take the valve cover off and paint it red, or leave it gray.

"Canned air" can be helpful, but it did blow the little plastic top off one of my cars, conveniently dropping it behind a display case! 🙄
These were way past canned air. Lol. I ran them through the kitchen sink car wash!

I did alot of cleaning today. Cleaned up the good Crosley engine and took the intake and exhaust off. Also took the intake, exhaust, water pump and generator off the bad engine. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to finish cleaning up the engine and paint it.
Also did some other cleaning around the house. Washed and dried three cars in less than one hour!

Today I pulled the engine out of the wagon. Now to clean up the replacement engine and drill out the two broken bolts on the exhaust manifold. Not sure if I will paint the engine factory colors or some combination of body color and factory colors.

Pulling out the engine on my 1951 Crosley wagon. Low compression on two cylinders.

Today I made some progress on the wagon, got the hood off, radiator out, wires disconnected, and lines disconnected. Only spent about an hour on it. Saw a glob of antifreeze in the thermostat housing. (See picture) I'm in no rush to get it done.

Got lots of spare time now that everyone is self quarentined.

Next project... Pull engine from 1951 Crosley wagon and replace with another engine that came out of the 46 sedan. The engine in the wagon has two dead cylinders, probably bad valves.
Had to do a major move of cars in the back room. Hupmobile pushed back, jet ski moved, Crosley Super sport moved, Crosley wagon moved, lots of jockeying each car and ski around till the wagon was out front, FOR in the back and the Crosley tow truck was put where wagon was. All this pushing is getting old, especially on the Hupmobile!!! Everything is put away and now I can start on the engine removal.

I have been working on the little things on the FOR. The emergency brake lock is finished and installed. The speedometer cable is installed. The horn wire that goes through the steering column, and button is installed. Still working on the fuel tank with the vinegar soak. Lots of little things getting finished up. Soon I will be driving it!
I also spend some time in the garage at home working on the 1973 MG Midget. The gas gauge has been acting strange the past couple years and I ran out of gas a couple times so I dropped the tank and will replace the sending unit.

FOR is full of parts waiting for me to install them.
I picked up the screws and rivet for the emergency brake lock and hope to get it installed on Monday.

Yesterday I worked on the emergency brake handle and the lock for it. I was missing both and had to reproduce them. The handle is just like the original, but the lock was a cast piece and is hard to find, so I made one. I drilled the holes today and dressed up the bracket some and gave it a coat of black paint. Will be ready to install when I get the screws and nuts.
One more thing off the list.

I seriously doubt that would work. Tried to send the photo to the Forum member I wanted to reply to and that was REJECTED also. TWO IS MY LIMIT guess I just live with it.
I do it all the time on my FOR restoration thread. Load two photos and then post it, back out to the restoration threads, then back in and edit post and add two more pictures. Then I save changes and do it all over again if I have more pictures to add.

If you just back out of your post and go back to the main forum, then go back in you can post more pictures. I have done it several times and never log out.

Would get more attention if you posted this in the "Parts for Sale" or in the Stutz section further down the page.

From what I have seen only on the roadsters.

I was missing the retainer ring for the center light and fellow Crosley member said he had one and sent it to me. One step closer to being finished.

Today I got the engine installed in the panel wagon. It went in without a hitch! Now to install all the accessories.
Been spending some time in the shop cleaning also. It is looking a little better...
