I have a custom interior and have added a rear seat. I may be able to pull out the rear seat, however I'm not sure. I'll have a look tomorrow.

I need to remove the rear window drain pan from a fully assembled 1936 5W coupe. It has a full interior so I can only get to it through the trunk. I can see that it is mounted to the brackets that the trunk hinges mount to also. Are there any other mounting points or is it just the trunk hinge...

Does anyone make a repair panel that sits above the repair panel currently available through EMS and below the trunk? I'm after the section that forms the lower part of the opening that the trunk panel closes onto.

Looking for tail light storks/mounts for a 36 coupe. I can get a repo passenger side but not a drivers.

I've done a bit more research and I probably didn't give enough information in my first post. I'm wondering if the 3" bellhousing/adapter that mates an 8BA and a 32-39 (18, 48 or 78) 3spd toploader. I've heard that 49-52/3? 1/2 ton trucks and some of the mercs around the same vintage had these...

Good old Ford Barn, post a question and a few hours later you've got all the info you need. Thanks for the help. Now to find one....

I was at a hot rod run the other day and saw an 8BA with the starter on the left hand side (US drivers side). It was on a RHD car and I was thinking that this might have been something specific to RHD countries to get the starter away from the steering box. Has anyone seen this before?

Hi guys, I'm looking at replacing the original 36 gearbox with a 39 for a smoother changing box. Can anyone think of good or bad points, or a completely different idea. I want to keep it a manual and a floor shift.

Thanks very much for the information and the welcome. Now to hunt for parts.

Hi guys, I'm after a bit of help. I have a 36 coupe with the original steering box, it has a lot of slop in it and I want to replace it. I heard that a 37 box is the way to go. Is it a straight swap, or does it need some modification? Are other boxes compatible?
