Dick, The rocker panels have not been replaced on this Ford. They were pristine. As, Tom stated, the seals are too thick, period. When are the suppliers going to own up to the fact that their quality control is sub-standard??? Some of them take absolutely no responsibility for the quality of...

I just installed the right door hinge seal on the '36 Ford 5-window Coupe. The door does not close or latch properly. It appears that the seal is either too fat or the incorrect durometer rubber. These seals are from Mac's and are supplied to them by Vintique. Has anyone else experience similar...

Don P, Thanks very much. This will get me started in the right direction. Cheers, Dave

We are in the process of assembling a '36 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams of how the wood is assembled for the rear shelf/trunk area? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dave

We are in the process of finishing up the restoration of a '36 Ford 5-window Coupe. Hopefully, only one or two more parts orders! Does anyone know what the correct length is for the door check straps? Thanks in advance for your help. Dave

I found the answer when trying to mount the front fender. The inner fender upper rear lip goes on the outside of the cowl. This is necessary to slip the fender over top of the inner fender. Does anyone have a picture of the '36 Ford front fender welting installed??? Thanks, Dave

Now installing the front inner fenders to the frame. Does anyone know if the ear on the upper rear of the panel goes inside the ridge on the cowl or on the outside? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Many thanks to Roy for helping me out! Dave

Thanks for the pics, Jeff. And thanks to everyone else for the info on Roy. I will try to give him a shout. Cheers, Dave

Hi, My buddy Bob and I are assembling a '36 Ford 5-window coupe with 8BA Flathead. We are very excited about installing the body this Friday, after three long years. Does anyone out there have a list of the required body to chassis bolts? Thanks much and Happy New Year, Dave Liverpool, NY
