Still looking

Hi - I'm looking for a complete set of fenders for my recently purchased 1928 Ford Phaeton / touring project. Prefer good to excellent condition and in Southern California for ease of picking up. Interested in metal fenders only. Thanks, Brian

My 6'5" brother drives my 1926 Ford touring with very little problem (he's also a healthy / thin 60 year old). He needs to get situated and he drives it all over the place. His two and five year old grand daughters love riding in the ole jalopy. I'm 6'3", but have really bad knees, so it is kind...

Thanks for the responses. I haven't pursued it yet, other than turning handle and pulling whenever I pass the car - just hoping for some good luck. Brian

Hi - I have a 1940 Deluxe Coupe that I moved the battery into the trunk. I tried to start the car the other day and the battery is dead (lasted over 10 years!). l need to get access to the battery, but when I use the key and turn handle the trunk won't open. I have tried pushing, pulling, and...

Hi - Does anyone recognize my brake light on my 1926 Touring? I want to clean it up in preparation of putting car back on the road. I think I just need the center part of lens (did it say "stop"?) or do I need to replace all the lens? Don't know if brake light is off another car or aftermarket...

I'm in the process of getting my recently purchased 1926 Touring running again. It hasn't been driven since the early 60's. Lots of stuff to do before I try for the official start. I try to get something done every day. I bought it just to drive locally - should be fun. I'm going to drive it...

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like a flathead is installed just like all the other engines I have done. Just making sure I do it right. I'm 71 years old and just figured out I'm still ignorant of a lot of things.

Hi - I recently purchased a 1927 Ford touring with a model A boxed frame, 8BA flathead motor, 1953 mercury 3 speed, and 1932 (?) rear end. The rear end has been converted to open drive. I have no drive shaft at this time. I'm about to take off the body and redo / improve some aspects of the...
