With regret, I've decided to sell my car. There is lots of info on the build thread I did a couple years ago: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1060666#post1060666 And info here: https://lakecharles.craigslist.org/cto/d/sulphur-1929-model-ford-rumble-seat/7045914482.html...

With what looks like a leg trap hanging from the front bumper, I'm guessing that's the tracker's seat? My Grandfather used to tell of hunting coyotes in a T. He'd drive through the fields with the windshields opened up, left hand on the wheel and right hand holding a rifle out the front.

'My mind's made up. Don't confuse me with facts.' It's not that I have to always be right. I have to hear you tell me I'm right. In reality: I actually thought I knew a little about A's. Then I joined this forum and found out how ignorant I am...

I'll be driving mine and waving to folks, exposing the masses to my little piece of history. And if my headlight adjustment screw isn't 'correct,' they'll never know or care. What percent of the population are going to be present when that Queen comes out of her trailer? Don't get me wrong, I...

Thanks, guys. Paul, that theory matches the rest of the car! Bet your right. I think I need a license plate that say's 'farmer fix.'

Hi all, Can anyone ID this hinge pin mount? It doesn't look like any mirror mount I've seen in my limited experience. Actually, to me it looks like an old-school AM antenna mount... It's been ridding on the this '29 std coupe for at least 40 years.

Brian, hope you don't mind if I jump in here... I've got 4 used champion w-18s I found under the seat, but 4 AC C77 plugs installed. What is the collective wisdom on the AC plugs? Thanks in advance.

Brad, I'm curious... Why did you wire up the cigarette lighter plug when the maintainer has two-prong trailer plugs inline? And the trailer plugs have weather-resistant caps, too. Just asking because my maintainer has cables set up identical to your picture above, and I plan on using those...

Mitch, I bow to your experience, but just for clarification... When I first read the OP I thought he was talking about the formed ridges. And I think that is what you are referring to in your reply. However, on second look, I think he is talking about the horizontal crease that runs all the...

I should have asked this earlier. When I was at the auto parts store the other day I picked up a Schumacher unit for $40 that claims to do all you mentioned. It took a little over 24 hrs to trickle charge my 550 cranking amp 6V from an unknown state, then switched to it's maintenance mode...

I keep those silica dryers every time I get any, but unfortunately don't have any right now that are not in use. Maybe I need to buy some electronics :) But now that you mention it, I think I have seen humidity absorbers you put in closets and stuff for sale at the home improvement stores, but...

Hi all, I've done some simple searches, and will continue to search the archives, but in the mean-time if someone has comments or can point me to a particular thread or post, I appreciate it. At some point I need to clean and coat the inside of my gas tank, but it's going to be a while. I'm...

My legal IQ is only 24, but my Mac's catalog has a note stating that Ford went to electric in Feb 29 from Heinz Electric, then in March 29 started using E. A. Laboratories. All vacuum wipers came from Trico, and began appearing in mid 29. I know that's not really 'authoritative,' but... They...

They appear to be Chebby only.

I must have a tudor dash, since my coupe has it, too.
