Questions about vintage straight axle install... I'm kinda shopping for a front axle, this would be my 1st build using a straight axle... I came across an axle I like ( maybe the pics were reversed, or backwards ) but it looks like the hook up for the steering arm from the gear box is on the...

while I rebuild the original motor in my Nash... found a 1961 Lincoln Continental sedan the other day... odo shows 47,000 miles ( might be 147,000 ) but the carpet looks too nice, & the interior looks dried out ( red leather ) not worn out, so maybe 47,000 ??? car lot pulled it out of an old...

got a local buddy that has a really nice International rat, pick-up that I'm hauling ( him, not his truck, as he'd drive that, if he were taking it ) up to Northfield MN this weekend for a car show / cruise in ( I'm taking my Nash up, & looking for ideas for this winter's build project ) sounded...

I often see parts listed on E-Bay as Model T, A ... were some parts interchangeable ( windshield posts, etc. ) hoods ??? to me, looking at pictures, the A & T's look similar, but maybe the A's were a little wider, & longer in the leg room area... is there a data base / website, that compares...

so I have a survivor condition 38 Nash, that I'd like to give a break for a year, & freshen the motor & tranny... The Studie Roadster in my build thread, is progressing very slowly ( I keep coming up with more & better ideas, & the body work gets more & more complex )... so I need something I...

Carb suggestions... got a 1938 Nash in original condition... I'm trying to keep it "looking" original, but am not afraid to modify internals, if it still "looks" original for example, I was getting sick of the dripping packings & greasing the original water pump... so I had my machinist buddy...

so 1st off, this is not really a "rat" more like a survivor, which I'd like to keep "looking" as original as practical... the car... 1938 Nash Lafayette trunk back sedan... ( I bought the car with 36,000 original miles ) since the car is so low, & I don't have a lift, & a previous owner had...

any of you guys think through the next build, even when you're a couple years from driving the build you're working on ??? I found that model T chassis at the bottom of the old scrap pile on the farm, when cleaning up the 50 year pile of steel... no early car sheetmetal, but 2 car frames 2nd...

gold or garbage at the bottom of the scrap pile ??? pics added cleaned /sorted up the scrap pile on our 100 year old farm... FIL had been piling scrap on a supposedly ( model T frame ) for as long as my 50 + year old wife can remember... as we worked our way down, we actually found very little...

went to go to the local cafe for breakfast last Saturday in my old Nash... & to my suprise, the battery was totally dead ( it's an 8 volt, that's been in there 2 years ) the car started fine this spring, after sitting over the winter, but it's been a month since I drove it last... generator...

I know most are doing the air ride thing, but I'm building an old school ( pre air bag ) rod... I've bumped up my frame 6 inches or so, so I can run the front roll pan at 4-5" off the ground, & still have 6-7" of wheel travel... I'm running a shorter mono spring up front, & have my traditional...

My wife has her 1st car yet... a 79 Camaro 350 4 speed... really low miles ( like less than 60,000 ) because she had to put it away when she was younger or she would have lost her license... when we met, I did some upgrades to it, & she drove it a couple summers, then it sat... & sat... & sat...

I've almost never been a car guy... I bought my 1st collector car ( a 1938 Nash Lafayette ) a couple years ago... & I have to think really hard, but it's been like 30 years since I drove a car as a daily driver... since I'm newer to the classic car / hot rod scene, I'm not in a position to call...

... a couple months ago, I started my 1st build project... a 1946 Studebaker M-5 pasture queen... pretty solid body, but the truck belonged to my FIL, who had many cars & trucks, & always restored to original... the motor was hopelessly stuck on this truck when he bought it, & after trying for 6...
