Hi All - Found this board while researching 4 post lifts. Nice to know there are Canadian rodders around. I've been on the Ford barn and HAMB for quite a while, and am always on the lookout for Canadian flathead guys. I left the city and now live full time in Muskoka, outside the town of Rosseau.
I am starting a teardown and rebuild of my 40 Ford Tudor as soon as the electricians and painters are done with my garage/shop.
I have a replacement frame that has been repaired and primed, a Chassis Engineering rear leaf suspension kit and new centre section for split wishbones. I plan to reuse as many of the car's parts as I can, but since I am after a 3 or 4" drop, I may have to source replacement front end parts. I have an Edelbrock 3x2 intake and 3 rebuilt Stromberg 97's with progressive linkage for the 59A in the car. I plan to install a 5 speed and open drive shaft. Disc brakes will make it a reliable daily driver.
For the moment I am looking for 16" Ford period wheels and an 8" rear axle assembly so that I can establish ride height.
For all you Ford flathead guys out there, keep me in mind for any and all parts, specialty tools and especially war stories. Can't stop learning.
Just FYI, we have a couple of cruise nights in Huntsville, Saturday and Wednesday, both in the Canadian Tire parking lot. Should be starting up in the next week or two. Always happy to see some new iron.
