Re: I Miss the Ol' Timers

I haven't heard anything from Richard Wolfe who was living in Florida. Anyone heard from him, he used to be a regular poster.

Over heating

I ran my speedster with a 23 radiator for many miles without any heating problems. I recently changed the front end and radiator to a 14 brass, which was suppose to be new. After about 6 miles it started to get hot and boil. I have not changed any timing or anything else that would be related to hea...

Re: Why great cars don't sell?

Start them young they never forget. I let all young kids play and get acquainted with my cars, most owners make the kids get back and don"t touch. Why would a child want to get involved if they are told stay away?

Replacing Transmission Spring

Has anyone replace transmission spring without pulling the engine. I have heard you can pull the rear end, would the hogs head have to be removed? If you have done this I would sure like your opinion, pull the engine or not. Thanks Sam

Re: Lost High Gear

Jerry, Dan and George, none of the clutch linkage had been touched since car was built. I pulled the inspection plate on transmission and on further inspection found there is a space between the first two spring rings and the third about 1 inch apart. I don't think that is correct? If the spring is ...

Lost High Gear

The car I just bought had been setting for 20 some years, when it went into a museum status it had a fresh engine and transmission, I am led to believe that the brake lever was left in the down mode in high gear which I think could have caused the clutch disc to stick together? After starting the ca...

This past week I had my Mercury Body Speedster delivered to the MTFCA Museum by Bill Squires of Bill's Auto Works, never had a better hauler that was on time to the minute and went out of his way big time to meet my demands. A...

Re: Digital only MTFCA memberships

I love having the book in my hand, if it would cost a little more to continue this I would be all for it. It is a bargain at the price the best of
publications. My opinion. Thanks MTFCA for a fine rag.

I really don"t care about the gallery or what they think, this is my car bought and paid for buy me not anyone else. That is what is so cool about a T, you can do what you want and enjoy it.
