Hi Dan,

Welcome and thanks for sharing with us. You will find some good people here to help you out.

Take care

I call that a sleeper. Slick Eric very Slick.

What size is the nut that hold the steering wheel on? I measured 1-1/2" from flat to flat is this correct?

I want to stop at parts store on the way home from work and just making sure I buy the right size. The Parts manual didn't tell me what size.

Thanks

For Reference the nut is 1-7/16"

Pete,

Thanks for the apologies.

Don't you love modern technology. :)

Kev,

I have no idea. I sure will miss the ones that have left. They sure have helped me out on my restoration questions.

Now only if I can get in touch with them some way and tell them that personally.

Ok.

Well if anyone comes across a step plate that mounts to the rear bumper. I just found out my car is suppose to have one.

Thanks

Eric,

Are you asking me about the wheels? If so I was never in need of any wheels.

Kev,

Looked like they had a nice turn out thanks for sharing pictures.

Any good parts for a '31?

Well I braved the cold -2deg F and drilled/cut the holes for the parking light in the fenders. I did it now because I will be dropping them off to have inner wells powder coated black. I had the rear ones, the long metal frame cover that goes under the doors, parts of the bumper that needed the be black, rear brake lever and rods and was going to have the drive shaft done but the lady called and said it made a mess out of their oven. She said there was/is a lot of grease inside them things so they could not do it I will just have to shoot it with POR15 then. They also primed and will be priming the outer part of the fenders for me. This way I will have them ready for spring to do the rest of the repairs on them. She is coming along.

So far the cost to have all these parts done was under $1000. That seemed to be pretty reasonable to me. Can I ask you all if I were to have someone paint these parts would I be wrong to say it probably would cost 5-6 times more or is even more then that?

P.S. I posted this on the other forum also but I figured I keep this one alive also.

Take Care
Have a nice night

Some more parts are ready for pickup. Will get them next week. And will take some pictures.

O one more thing

GO BEARS GO

Well the monsters of midway did not show up. It was a good run.
