Great thanks.

Maybe I'll just order those up on Monday.

Any tips for cleaning brake shoes? Maybe I'll just try and order those up too.

General Discussion / Brake pistons.

After honing my brakes, looks like they're still leaky. And thoughts on these found on eBay:

Or re-sleeve? What's the general price for re-sleeving?

Thanks in advance.

I agree, the snow slows things down here, but I try not to let it stop me.

General Discussion / Re: Thoughts on these tires?

Installed them, I think they will look great when the car is finished.  Took about half an hour each to install.

I'm pretty sure someone sent me a picture at one point and I noticed carriage bolts holding the fenders to to the frame, the 'square' cut seems to confirm this.  When I remount my fenders I will be using carriage bolts, I seem to remember the bolts were chrome too, and not body color matched.

Started searching for tires for my 30u. Tires on there already are super weather checked  but show 19x4.75.

These came up on my search and I think the price is reasonable. This will be a parade low speed car.

Let me know your thoughts.

Hey folks, so an update, I purchased the model T-2819-PT from Snyders (https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/hub-puller-rear).  The bolt was half inch to short so I just popped in a small section of 3/8 metal rod, screwed it on, worked a treat, hubs popped right off. 

Thanks for the useful information, now to hone out the rear brake cylinders and whack it all back together.

General Discussion / Temperature Gauge
December 23, 2018, 10:27:48 AM
Has anyone installed a temp gauge to show engine temp?  Where did you install the sending unit?

It surprises me that there is no obvious port, or gauge for engine temp. Does anyone ever have problems with engine over heating?

Hey folks, came to do my brakes today and even though I have assorted hub pullers, I never took this type of wheel into account.

Does anyone have a source, or could I borrow a hub puller for this wooden type wheel from somebody please?

Thanks in advance

Congratulations!!! It's nice feeling to know your car is alive again.

Thank you!!  It's reassuring to know the clutch and transmission work, at least in 1st and reverse.

So this afternoon I pulled the accelerator pump off and blocked it with a brass fitting, fired the car up and it seemed to run fine, even with a little pressure on the gas pedal, I took a huge leap and sat on the floor in the car, pressed clutch, went into first and it moved forward under its own power for the first time in (???) years!! Reverse too!!  Stoked!

Next is brakes!
