It's been a while since I saw mine, but think it looks like this, it holds the crank to the dash, not to the operator.

Hi Bruce, Here's a photo of the latch and handle. I can send more on email. My email is bill3337@gmail.com I also have NOS passenger side and additional handles

If you end up needing them, I have some exterior handles and NOS latches. I'd want $50.00 plus shipping for the latch, maybe $20 plus shipping (could be combined) for the handle.

If you check where the continuous weld is on the sides, there is usually enough metal outside the weld area, to allow you to trim an 1/8" or so off the flange and often that is all you need to make removal and installation much easier.

Yes, mine.......well actually my wife's, but i built it.

Do you have free play in the handle mechanism? Sometimes over the years, the shaft gets twisted from people cranking it too hard. If you don't have any free play in the mechanism the springs won't help. Mine were twisted, so I just "untwisted" them and they've been fine ever since.

If '38 hood hinges are the same as '37, you may have to slot the holes slightly, specially if they are aftermarket hinges. You need to be able to sort of "rock/rotate" the hinge body slightly. The hinges for '38 appear to be slightly different on the pictures I can see, but the principle is...

I bought this Drake trunk gasket for my '37 Slantback, but not sure which way is up. This may not be like the original, I've never seen an original, but I assume this would work. Which way should it go? Thanks, Bill

I'll go for '33 Coupe, '37 Slantback and '32 Cabriolet. I have two of these, who knows, maybe some day I'll have the '32 as well. I have to admit though, there aren't many in all those years that I don't like.

I agree with you Mercman. I appreciate the workmanship in well built cars, whether restored or modified. It's very impressive.

Yep, I used clear tubing on mine, available in many places.

You can probably see in these photos there are two slots beside the slot for the window wind out mechanism. There are factory sheet metal defroster deflectors that connect to those under the dash and are fed from the original heater. I used the factory components to connect to my Vintage Air...

I've done a few of my cars for a show finish, but you need to know how much paint is on there. With base clear, I shoot 3 coats of base and 4 coats of clear. I block sand the clear to start with 800 grit to get rid of orange peel and any runs. With runs, I put a thin film of polyester putty...

Not sure why they would have gone lighter, but my car was all original when I got it, it had never been apart and it had the 1/4" fine thread bolts.
