I have to admit I have not surfed eBay in awhile so I really don't know what is out there. I have been busy work-in on my projects.

NICE

Now only if we can find some more Pre '40s stuff.

Is there anyone with an empty trailer from Chicago area heading east to pick up their next project that can deliver the lower half of my engine to a shop in Cecil Ohio if not I will have to ship it?

Thanks

That is a nice color combo....

That cleaned up really nice. Good looking car you have there.

Not sure if I mention this but back in December when I received the car back from the body shop it was bare steel so it was recommended that I should spray the car down with WD40. O what a bad idea it still flashed rusted in spots and boy what a pain it was to get off. So here is a tip I received from a paint forum I frequent.

Tip for removal of WD40
Try cup of water
Cup of alcohol
1/4 cup of ammonia (optional if you have)

Wipe on and whip off with a different rag.

I could not find any alcohol at Menard's yesterday but they did have ammonia. So yesterday I spent a good portion of the day with bucket of very hot water and a few cups of the ammonia, wash met and some old rags for drying. It sure was a workout but it worked out really well.

Today I pulled out the DA and went to town sanding a panel at a time and then did each panel with metal ready because it was flash rusting on me. I know before I do any epoxy priming I will need to DA each panel again wipe it down with some lacquer thinner and then some wax/grease remover. Tack it and I should be good to go spraying the epoxy. RIGHT?????

Hello Gents,

Went out to drop transmission today since it was recommended by you all and my friends to send out the lower half to the machine shop. Well I got the transmission off by myself and low and behold I found a broken spring laying in the valley under the clutch. I looked over the clutch and I see were it is missing from. See attach pictures.

My service parts manual doesn't have a call out for this spring does someone know the name and part number for it?

Where can I find a replacement spring?

Also how does the clutch come off the crank? Is it held on the by three 7/16" nuts that have the cotter pin?

Thanks for the help
