Hey got a easy way to help weld in those holes in the frame. If you can get your hands on some 1/4 inch copper plate ,use it as a backing plate and you can fill in those holes alot quicker. Did you get a chance to look at that ford site. Talk at you soon. Roy

AJ46 could you provide a link to the site with the picts and parts breakdowns. There are several Flathead V8 sites out there and I have been unable to find anything except Vanpelt's site listed above by someone in this thread.

Thanks
