Thanks for posting this. I don't get the Velocity channel but on the website I watched the three videos of the show. Great.

1933 Essex Terraplane Engine Color
Anybody have a suggestion of a current spray paint color that would come close to matching that original color?

Coast to Coast in a 1913 Hudson...
What works for me, in Firefox, is you left click the image you want to see in The Old Motor. That brings up a page that has just that image on it. Just above the image to the right of the credits it will have "Full size is 800x534 pixels".…

Thanks for all the names. I have spoken to Mike Gajdek and unfortunately he is booked up for the next year or so. I'll make some more calls.

splasher engine- lesson
Following this thread I've learned a lot I didn't know about these splasher engines. Mine is a 30 Essex 6cyl and I'm trying to figure out the lubrication path. There are three oil lines on the oil pump. One I can tell pulls from the s…

30 Essex Rear End
Thanks Geoff as always. If there is anything I need to know about an Essex I know where to go. I always wondered why these axles were different from the ones in the '30 parts list and those I've seen for sale for '30 cars. Whenever I …

Big Fun on the Highway, circa 1931
Thanks Dave for that information. I haven't checked the compression in this engine yet but it can't be too good after 82 years.

Big Fun on the Highway, circa 1931
Thanks for posting that. Not to hijack this thread but how fast did Hudson's go back then? Our 30 Essex won't go over maybe 35 mph before the revs seem too high. But the engine is not rebuilt. Thanks again.

Water Outlet Manifold Gasket
Anyone know if there is a torque sequence on the studs on these water manifolds? With six separate risers I would hate to have one crack when it gets hot. Would it be like head bolts starting inside and working out?

Water Outlet Manifold Gasket
Thank you everyone. Alright, I'll get some thinner paper gasket material and get this sealed up. Looking forward to a good season.

Water Outlet Manifold Gasket
Thanks Marconi I wanted to use what I had if possible. Also you anwswered a second question on if I should use a sealant with the cork gasket on this water manifold. Looking for a permanent repair.

1930 Essex headlights
Got in contact with Donald Axelrod a few weeks ago and today received my headlights for our 30 Essex. Thanks Jon B. He said he believes the 30 Essex had painted headlight buckets and the 31 Essex had chrome so I got a chrome set. Lens are Stabilite …

Right Essex parts
Thanks, I figured those probably were Model A bumpers. They'll have to do for now, maybe look for right ones next year. I'm wondering if a solid red lens with "STOP" on the top half is right. I've seen plenty of those. Joe…
