    Rear door check straps

    I don't have either of those items. Can you explain how all those parts go together as a complete strap, as well as the steps to remove the upholstery?

    Rear door check straps

    Newby here again, in need of some guidance. I'm trying to figure out how these new rear door check straps for my 1930 TS get assembled, but more importantly how do they get installed! I'm guessing that I need to remove the rear panel, but how do I do that? Unlike the front kick panels, which...

    Lighting switch body help

    So I bought a new lighting harness for my 1930 TS, but when I un-clamped the body and removed it, the parts that go in the bottom half of the lighting body fell out. There were only three pieces inside of it: the spring, the small brass cap and the part with the dimples, but I cannot figure out...

    Shimming the cowl section on a 1930 TS

    Shimming the cowl section on a 1930 TS

    Wow, thank you for the detailed information, especially since you also have a Town Sedan: apples for apples so to speak! So the rubber shims for the cowl from Snyder's are round, and there are rubber body block pads as well; is this what you used on your car - round on the cowl and the...

    Shimming the cowl section on a 1930 TS

    I need to shim the cowl section on a recently purchased 1930 Town Sedan, Murray body and would like some pointers. There is a 1/2" gap on both sides of the cowl where the hood is supposed to meet. The previous owner was in the process of doing a frame off restoration, but passed away before...
