    1931 cabriolet roof removal?

    It looks really ugly folded down. It’s moldy and ripped up. The car is in great shape other than this top. I guess I was thinking it would be easy to just unbolt the top and remove it completely for now. But I can’t seem to figure out how to unbolt it and remove it

Won’t even run the horn or lights it’s so dead. I’m not sure how accurate the amp meter is but it does show 15 amp discharge when the...

    light switch question

    why would the cowl lights not turn on with the high/bright beams? seems like if you switch the high beams to get more light on the road you would want the cowl lights to come on also to help add some light?
