Don't think it will and not sure why anyone would want one.

So today I worked on the Jaguar E type rear suspension, I disassembled back in February and the customer took all the parts to have them cleaned and painted. Well they lost the box full of all the fixing and brackets for the brake calipers. They clamed they never had them, funny how that works. Now after many calls and pictures of expsloeded views of the missing parts I may have enough to get this completed.

I did all the detail work on the calipers, they did all the black paint work.

So frustrating! I always take a picture of the guy I'm dealing with and the parts layed out. Then there is no confusion and no rare/expensive parts walk away.

Good plan!!!!!!

Carburetors back together

Looks good. I'll be replacing a little baby Holley 1904 in a 1961 Ford Econoline truck coming up soon. It was new but the previous owner decided to get rough with it and broke the housing so the choke can't be used. Not even worth rebuilding so it will set up on my carb wall for parts. Doing a rewire on the entire truck and switching to a newer alternator while I'm at it. Everything is pretty easy to get to in the truck so not as bad as some I have seen.

I may have one of those carburetors if you need.

Already have a new one for it but thanks. Way more of these little 1904's around then I realized. My 61' Econoline has the same set carb and so does one of my Willys.

Well the little truck runs great but then the electric fuel pump took a crap and started leaking, it's a wonder this thing didn't burn to the ground.

Crap!!!

Little more progress on the 58

 

[wristpin]

What's info on that 58 truck engine? Id like to know how it responds with that 2x4 tunnelram

 

[La Hot Rods]

Just an old engine for sizing it up. The tunnel ram was just setting in the shop, though it just looked Kool.

Some day I'll take on a truck. Probably go for a 58' Chevy/GMC. I am still waiting on a guy with a Cab over I'd like to get my hands on.

Coe”s are cool.

My dad has two complete motorhome chassis that could be used and I know where there is a neglected COE just waiting for me. Trying to get the guy to let go of it. Might have to wait until he passes.
