I had the same trouble with my '36 spare cover. Try pushing in slightly before turning. It worked for me !

I'll be 69 in June.....hope someone can go back and average all of us...I'll take that number when you done

Just remember to place an "Agreed Value" in dollars between you and the insurer somewhere in your policy...makes life lots easier when there's a total loss...This coming from experience.

I own my '36 Ford Sedan for 35 years. My folks brought me home from the hospital in it as a newborn in 1945 !

My '36 Ford Sedan has the trim. The drivers side clips that hold it have rusted beyond repair. Does anyone know where to get the trim clips ?

I should have mentioned that I did send the whole distributor in 3 years ago to "Babba" for all new condensor/coil/points/rotor etc. The problem stems from the storage conditions here in N.W. Iowa...with extreme temp/humidity swings etc....and if you don't use it, ya lose it ! I will...

Well I have committed the mortal sin of not driving my 1936 Ford Sedan for 22 months, including 2 Winters. I have great voltage in my 6 volt battery, juice to the coil but nothing to the plugs. It turns over like a champ. I am certain the points are corroded. As you all know, the...

1936 cuz I have the one that my parents brought me home from the hospital in...in 1945 !

I agree w/ Ton and Lawson...have done my ''36 many times but yes, it is a 2 person job...or you will invent several new 4 letter words...good luck D.B.

Thanks fellas for the info and the advice on how to "homemake" the clips....too bad no one stocks them D.B.

The small clips that hold the chrome ring to the spare tire cover are useless or gone. It looks like there is a total of 9 slots to fill. Does anyone have a source for these ?....same for the clips that hold the chrome strip to the running boards ? Thanks in advance. D.B.

In case you need it....I got help with the same situation from a guy in Missouri who has the Hurd key stock for cutting vintage keys etc. let me know .....tnx D.B.

I will be 66 in June...older than mold !

We have a 1936 Ford Sedan, 95% original with only some glass and all new wiring and water pumps O/H. It's been in the family since 1938 and has waaaay more sitting time than driving time. It's lucky to see 2-3 parades and 300 miles in a Summer. What should I do during the long Winter sits ...
