Re: my restoration of 29 AA

P9280210.JPG Jeff, I don't know where you are and what you need to start with. The green coupe has NO bondow or fiberglass anywhere. I used about a pint,maybe, of metal to metal( an aluminum base filler) ( to feather out some rusty pits that was needed to smooth out the surface) , most all the weld...

Re: my restoration of 29 AA

P2050045.JPG Gun metal, looking at the pictures, and the work has not been done yet. I hope you are a good welder, if no no big problem. If you don't have a Mig welder you will need one or maybe find a better cab. This cab can be rebuilt to look like new again. If you can't weld you have plenty to ...

'A' engine running hot !

We know there are several things that will cause the 'A' model to run hot :P I read an artificial a few days age, I've never heard this before. Spark plugs can also cause the 'A' model to run hot. My '29 roadster pick-up ran many, many miles probably with the same plugs the was in it when my Dad ove...

Re: Building a shop in my back yard in Sacramento SIMPLE

I'm giving up on building I designed myself. In Louisiana I would have no problem building it. I thought that they (city of Sac.) could use the tax. I'm ording my building out of Tenn. and pay no tax, thanks to city of Sac. More later on this. Shelby, Sacramento

Re: Metal man needed

Hello Chris, no I'm not into the wood working. It's kinda simple, full of head scratching. I think that your best bet would be to find and older cabinet maker to do your wood. They can make anything out of would except (granite) your cabinet makers may can BUT don't have the experience. venture out,...
