A late thank you, but much appreciated feedback from The Barn. I plan to removed the existing bracket and rivet it back to the frame 2 3/4" forward. Much appreciated - Arty

I have a 31 coupe that I purchased partially completed. All the body blocks and connections are aligned, except for one. The mount at the front of the door only hits one of the frame mount holes. It seems the body block is bolted to the body correctly, but the two bolts do not align with the...

Thanks MickeyT - You went way above and beyond and I really appreciate! I am in the Chicago area and will definitely be able to make something that works now that I can see the different angles. Can't thank you enough.

Thank you both. MickeyT - any chance I could get some rough dimensions? Over Length? Distance from door pillar to 1st screw? Door pillar to second screw? Second screw to the end of the block? Height of face? I think I can eyeball if needed, but if you could get some...

Thank you both. I will order one form Mike's and see how if goes. Beats replacing the entire bracket. Thanks for the help.

Hello: Does any one know if you can replace just the "pin" on the windshield pivot bracket? I have a nice windshield frame that is missing the attaching pin (see picture). Snyders has a replacement bracket, but 1) I really do not want to drill our the old rivets and try to re-rivet the frame...

Hi All: Does anyone have a 1931 couple with the wood exposed? I picked up a partially finished project and I think I am missing a piece of wood that goes behind the pillar and under the side window wood. I think I can make one, just need an idea of what it should look like. Thanks Arty

Hello - I have a 30 Coupe and two different header wood covers. The seem almost identical, except one has two bumps on the inside edge with would be visible from inside the car. The other is straight. Anybody know which should be on the coupe and what the other is for? I will try to post...

I purchased a partially complete car that came with 4 wood rood ribs. It has one roof rib (38” x 1 ¼”) (picture #1 and #3) is fairly flat and three others (42” x ¾”) (picture #2 and #4) that are narrower and too longfor the car have a slight bow. I assume the three longer ones are incorrect, but...

Thanks for responses. Unfortunately the instructions leave a bit to be desired in terms of details and I do not have a finished one readily available to reference. I see in the second picture the cloth covers the back (outside) of the beltline wood down to where the trim piece would cover the...

First time installing a top on a 29 sport coupe; have a couple questions 1) Do rear cardboard filler panels that start flush with metal verticle bow #2 supprts get attached to the metal supports or just nailed on top to bow and bottom to betline? If yes, how? 2) Does rear beltlIne wood get...
