I would recommend turning off the fuel line and let the engine run the carb out of fuel. no more to drip. Like your style and Great looking car. 73 Bud

Yes Sir; I have one of those on my '29 Tudor.Never having seen one befor I painted it silver and the red-headed boy,with red hair.However<I don't have that heater door. Bud KI4BR

I took mine to a lock-smith.Didn't even know what kind of key was used but,he worked it out.Only charged me for cutting the keys. You might try that befor taking it apart. Bud 73

I have used one and like it on my daily driver '29 Tudor.GAV will not hook up as the thumb screw is on the foreward side of the carb but, the choke rod hooks up as origionally.If you're not concerned about a"looks origional" carb this one works very well. 73 BP

I had a Dodge Brothers sedan that had been cut up to be a pick-up truck. When I pulled it out of the field,it had three flat tires and one that was fully inflated....with small logs,cut to fit the shape of the tire.I doubt it would ever go flat. Buddy P.

I just finished re-doing my roof and left the origional chicken wire in place,just tightening it to the edge wood.It was the same gauge which can be bought in the hardware stores today.Look for corosion where it might have gotten wet(leaky roof,you know) and pull loose staples or replace all of...

Is there a "best way" to seal a tiny rust hole in a Model A fuel tank .... without a flame? Fortunately,this one is in the outside corner just above the cowl panel. TNX, Buddy P
