I don’t often post stuff from eBay, but I was sorely tempted by this one I have to say!
Having previously owned a US Spec Ranger the bug lurks near the surface

1938 Lincoln Zephyr Barn Garage Find Rare on eBay
1938 Lincoln Zephyr Barn Garage Find Rare NO RESERVE
My heart says buy it, my brain and the post Brexit £ to $ exchange rate says no sadly 😦
Lovely vehicle, take a look here
The Final Piece!
As you may know the car came with a very poor quality hydraulic brake conversion, to rectify this I gathered the parts to convert the system to the superior 46-48 single adjuster system. I was however missing two grease boxes for the rear. Luckily I’ve managed to track down a pair on eBay from a nice gentleman called Al for a very reasonable cost. Hopefully these will be winging across the pond shortly!
Grease boxes shown below
For Sale! (Update, Sold, Sold, Sold, :))

Winter Project Home Made Blasting Cabinet, Spring Update :)
A bit of an update on the blast cabinet project started in the winter, stalled,and now nearly completed in the spring. We made the holes with a combination of hole cutters and the Dremel, decided to go with three for a bit of flexibility. The gloves are from eBay, taped in, but do the job! Air line goes in at the bottom corner, and the chimney is a piece of waste water pipe. Just need a filter for the chimney and we’ll give it a test. Not the most attractive thing you’ve ever seen but I think it will serve it’s purpose!
Hot Rod Opportunity
Great opportunity to own an excellent blank canvas to build a “patina” hot rod truck. This one has the sought after tall cab.

Winter Project: Home Made Blasting Cabinet
As I’ve got many horribly dirty and grimy parts on the A, I thought this looked a handy little project for the small parts (found in the magazine Practical Classics August 2014 edition)
I have all the items with the exception of the gloves, which I’ve ordered from eBay.
I’ll post some pictures once our version is in progress.
The Anti-Concours: 1918 Stutz Hot Rod
Sure wish I was at Pebble Beach right now… Back in 2011 Josh and I had the opportunity to attend many of the events that take place every August on the Monterey Peninsula. We sure had a great time. It seems that everyone else did too and they must have told all their friends about it. Hotel room prices have skyrocketed as a result so we will have to be content watching from a distance yet again this year. To honor all those fancy machines sitting on the manicured lawns this morning, I wanted to featured this 1918 Stutz. Now, this is not like any Stutz you are going to see at the concours. Some might call it a blasphemy, but I think it’s just plain cool. Find it here on eBay in Lansdale, Pennsylvania for $21,500 or best offer.

Kill Switch
Finally got around to fitting the kill switch on the Model A. With a car this old it’s nice to be able to kill the electrics when parked in the garage, this saves lifting the floor boards each time to disconnect the battery. Nifty bracket from O’Neill Vintage Ford which utilises the starter bolt, vintage style kill switch courtesy of eBay.
