    Sometimes you get lucky...and other times...

    Not so much. Was driving down Deerfoot ( EnglishBob will know ) today to go to metal supermarket to get some more material for the bike build. I'm in the inside lane, see traffic slowing down, and eventually come to a complete stop. Apparently, there was an accident ahead about a couple miles...

    Hood...?

    Been scouring the bay, and came across this hood. The seller has no idea what it is, but seems to think it's from a plymouth. :confused: Any ideas? Thanks fellas.

    Axle opinions...

    Hey fellas, Been doing a lot of research and browsing for parts for the past while, and I've been focusing on front axles lately for the '32 plymouth. Just curious if anyone has bought and used the speedway dropped semi-elliptical gasser axle (4" drop) kit. Or, if anyone knows a guy who knows...

    Hot Dogs!

    Go great on the grill, but I was curious to know about the other kind...specifically, this one: I'm not anywhere near qualified to even fathom a guess. Help? :confused::confused::confused:

    Xmas comes early...

    Well, not really...I had to work my ace off to pay for this, but well worth it. Multi-process welder. Mig, stick and tig. All three, will get all my projects taken care of. Body work = check. Frame work = check. Detail work = check. It's been AGES since I've picked up a tig torch and...

    Another one in the stable...

    This time, it's not for me. Bought this for my dad, for his birthday. He's been wanting a '49 for a long time, and seeing me super busy with my projects, I guess he thought it was time for him to start up again. Not entirely sure what he was thinking of doing. Probably a new motor and trans...

    32 Plymouth Coupe. Let's get it on...

    So guess what? Remember my motherload thread, about an auction. Well, I was the highest (probably the only) bidder. I bid $___ much. :D So Pops and I manhandled this thing on our own and got it on the trailer. Took it back to Ma and Pa's, where it will stay until the spring. I'll bring my dad...

    I may have hit the motherload...

    So, I arrived in The Middle of Nowhere Saskatchewan this afternoon... as I had mentioned in my Slow and Low thread, I knew of a lot behind an old hospital that had A LOT of old stuff. Now some of you may be thinking "pfft, big deal...there's lots out in the boonies behind my house" But for me...

    Slow and low...

    Been getting burnt out on the bike I've been building lately, and I'm not heading east to see my folks and to check out all the piles upon piles of Model A stuff for another week and a half... And rather than sit around and do sweet f.a., I decided that now was as good a time as any to FINALLY...

    Two questions for the gurus...

    Which, in my opinion...you're all gurus. But I digress. OK fellas, I have two questions for you ( one I searched here with no answer, and the other is completely random ). First question: I've got that old '51 F3 sitting in my garage, with intentions of dropping it this winter. My question...

    My turn...

    After reading all these great posts about what everyone has going on in their garages, which are all really great and inspiring projects...I figured it was my turn to post up what I've been working on... Nothing too special, just a '75 FXE Superglide that came in pretty much bone stock. Cut the...

    Rear end swap on '51 F3

    Disclaimer: I'm doing all of this on my phone, and it won't let me search the forum for some reason... Ok, so here's the deal: I bought a rear end for the ford. Its a matching dimension rear end with 3.42 gears from a '75 GMC 3/4 ton. The ford rear end is 4.86 fyi. So my question is: The...

    '51 Ford starter button?

    Long story short: Replaced voltage reg because I was reading all kinds of crazy with the multimeter. Solenoid started acting up, would sort of click, then squeal, then nothing. So, that was replaced. Now, I have absolutely NOTHING. No click, no sound, sweet f.a. I have 6 volts at the...

    Salutations from your neighbor to the North

    Hello fellow greasy culturalists, found this wealth of information by accident, sure glad I did. I reside in Alberta, Canada. Had a rough go in 2010, so I needed a pick me up project. Found myself a '51 Ford F3. Its a running, rolling work in progress. At first, I was going to keep it...
