    My '29 Roadster is running rough and doesn't have power to climb hills well. I noticed that there is oil leaking from the 2 front spark plugs, causing small bubbles.... what is the diagnosis?

    Winter Prep for storage

    I have both my '29 A's in an unheated hanger over the Winter here in Washington State. No problems with mice but I normally leave a trickle charger on both cars all the time since I am away for the Winter, is that a good idea?

    Shifting to reverse

    Can't seem to shift my 29 Roadster into reverse! The gearshift won't go there. I jacked up the rear end and the rear wheels turn freely; the clutch appears to be engaging......any thoughts?

    There are 2 options for a pickup floor bed with or without the metal cutout. Will either of these beds work in an original 1929 pickup?

    Keith: Thanks, I think you have the right solution, I agree removing the bed won't do any good! The next issue is once removed the new slats should be able to be installed from the top, correct? Alan

    Wood bed in '29 pickup

    I'm removing the plywood bed in my 1929 Pickup. I can't figure out how they got this piece into the bed. I removed all the bolts but the plywood is under the side lips? How would I remove the wood panel?

    Overheating

    Thanks for all the suggestions I check the O ring & the antifreeze I am using. The timing sounds like the main reason! Speed is not important problem free from being is the goal.!
