Since there was considerable discussion about the Sparton tags, I'm posting a photo of a new old stock Sparton tag. It comes from a new old stock Sparton horn in like new condition. I'm sorry I don't have a repro tag for a side by side comparison. But, the repro tag has much redder writing on...

Joe measured and found this tailgate too wide for his F-100. Must be for 3/4 ton. Price drop again, must get this out of the way. Dug it out again, too ill to deal with. $100 plus shipping. It is boxed and ready to go. Please review measurements in original ad. Dave Lopes

Back to the top with price drop to $150, plus shipping. It's in the way, repros are $400 plus shipping.

If you were to show your satin finished truck at a national MARC or MAFCA meet, you would not lose poiints for the satin. See the Judging Standards. Your fenders and aprons remain gloss because those parts were originally dipped enamel. Like Brent indicated, getting a satin finish to be...

Nice reproduction part. The reason this part can be detected from the original is clearly seen in the side by side photograph. The original cover on the left has the vertical flutes extending all the way into the base area. The reproduction on the right does not, and that "ring" does not...

Thanks JunyardJeff for that addition. I'll be glad to ship via Greyhound if that will help a buyer. Henry494

Back to the top. Price is now $175 plus shipping. Crated and ready to fly.

Off Track from Original Post by Steve Dudley, The Fordor I post a lot about was bought new in New Rochelle, New York, with a deposit check written on July 9, 1929, and a balance check written on July 18, 1929. The firewall date is June 28, 1929. It didn't come to California until 1967. I...

Rustydogs, See the PM I sent to you yesterday. Dave Lopes

Roadster62, The "T" handle is nickel plated for 28 and 29. Check out Vince Falter's website. He's got a bunch of photos of a 30-31 Coupe as it's being assembled. The photos include a bunch of the trunk and floor area. A real must see for what you're doing. Dave Lopes...

Jim, I don't have any photos of a mounted OD C-3. But here's a photo of an EA C-1, mounted in a 29 Fordor. It has the same control configuration as your wiper. This will give you an idea of how it goes, until someone with the correct wiper posts a photo for you. Dave Lopes

I checked our four A's and none of them had any stamps in the rear crossmember. However, our unrestored 1929 Fordor had a wired on tag attached to the left rear crossmember through the body mounting bolt hole. You can see what's left of the tag in the attached photos. I suspect this tag...

Hope this is what you're looking for Ray. Dave Lopes

Rich, I'm not a buyer, I have too many now. But, that's a really solid looking Tudor! I sure hope it gets restored someday. I'm curious if it has a firewall date. The reason is, the front left fender appears to be an earlier 1928 fender, not used into 1929. Is the curve of the right front...

All, The prior thread about the different techniques used for "unfinished" fasteners got me wondering. What are all the different methods you guys have used to clean piles of fasteners? I've got boxes of fasteners, some with a bit of rust, light to medium at most, and some with a coating...
