  1. Or. NONE are "perfect"
  2. For me the Milner Coupe is almost perfect other than having a SMC in it. I like the attitude
  3. For me it has to have that "wow" factor and not look like every other Deuce out there The Black 5 window in the original post is cool but I see the same thing everywhere. The Green Roadster while not yet perfect for me does draw my eye to it as something built with some individual taste
  4. What would be on your list of requirements to define the "Perfect Deuce" ? My list: #1 Ford or Hemi motor #2 If it is a Highboy it must be chopped #3 No "mail slot chops #4 Big and little's and no rubber band tires (tires need to have some meat on them) and none of those skinny drag style front wheels #5 No race cars (that would fall under the "Perfect Drag Car" category) #6 Mildly customized That is my top 6 (for now) Whats yours ?
  5. Deuce frames made for old style cross spring suspension. Motorcycle fenders for Ts,As and deuces
  6. Going to the intake side, I was told that painting aluminum intake manifold should not be done as it interferes with the cooling process.
  7. Anybody have any experience with a Senco ? I picked this one up at Goodwill today for $40 seems to run great ,1/2 hp with 1.4 cfm
  8. Thanks, I found a 34 5 window street rod kit in my stash that has it
  9. Building a 32 Roadster with a modern suspension, Using the rear set from the 90 T Bird SC. What are my options (if any) for a IFS setup for the 32 ?
  10. Oh, a wise guy, eh? Why I oughta..Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk!"
  11. I found this article thought I might try and do it on a model. Using 1/2 round for a new fender arch may be easier than how it was done in the article. . https://www.hotrod.com/articles/0601rc-1932-ford-body-section/
  12. I would like to use it as a learning experience and do it myself.
  13. I am currently in the process of building some A's and Deuces in various configurations. Thinking about a slick looking sectioned highboy.
  14. Want to give a Deuce Roadster about a 2" sectioning. Any tutorials or tips, tricks or hints ? Search turned up nothing Thanks
  15. I have been pondering on having a Copper or Gold finish on the chrome parts of a deuce build . I would like it to have the chrome look but be in copper or gold on the windshield, wheels and all the parts that are normally chrome. Most parts will be chrome to start with but some will be bare plastic (windshield frame). Maybe some type of transparent paint over the chrome ? I did not find anything in a search thought I would ask the experienced for suggestions. Thanks This is what I am looking for:
  16. Fireball Modelworks has some nice 4160's
  17. 3/4 ton truck https://www.google.com/search?q=41+ford+truck+3/4+ton&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjxzsuDjKHjAhUlPn0KHfPTCeoQ_AUIESgC&biw=1366&bih=663
  18. Maybe it is a Panel Truck rather than a Panel Van the body style is not the same. I found this photo on google but it there was little info on it
  19. My truck was just totaled (while it was parked) by a drunk driver) and I have been on the phone with two insurance companies, the last one for an hour. So EXCUSE ME for not missing the joke, and as a side note it was not a "Joke" it was "sarcasm"
  20. Is that like "humor is just reason gone mad"?
  21. Why would anyone actually ask to start an argument ?? Maybe just a discussion ?
  22. Thanks but I figured I will scratch build a couple half shell helmets, Thanks to all for you information and suggestions. Your a great bunch of Folks here.
  23. I had a hard time trying to attach the shifter balls supplied. Found these piercing barbell that have threaded holes and come in various colors and sizes https://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Stainless-Steel-Barbell-Ear-Cartilage-Tragus-Helix-Stud-Bar-Earring-Piercing/222981519926?hash=item33eabbfa36:m:mnlR-CQC73BbUXu58o32LQg
  24. Thanks for all the information and links to past posts. I have known Harold Perry for a few years now and consider him a friend. Unfortunately he lives a ways away from me and only occasionally see each other in person. When I decide to do the build I will pick his brain and with what you guys have given me hopefully it will be half as nice. Thanks Again
  25. YUp ,your right thats why the grille has that wonky insert in it.
