Thank you all very very much. I just needed some encouragement. My Ford's article was called My Grandpa's Ford in V8 Times magazine.

My '35 has 7,500 miles. Just as background info. Is there a reliable suggestion for taking it in to get lubricated? Anything special I should know? Thank you.

Thank you. I look forward to a Wisconsin kind of 1935 late spring here in Missouri. Warming temperatures. No air conditioning. I'm on this grounding solution while staying on the ground for as long as it takes. The new bulb and wire came from C&G. Both went through the proper fit for year and...

Whoa. And thank you. I have no idea whether that 'washer' was original or not. My Grandpa bought the car as a farmer's car in 1935. It's original and still in the family. The only changes are what you'd expect. Tires. Battery. Oil. And a new interior (animals invaded the interior while garaged...

I have a 1935 Ford. The taillight does not work. I ordered and received a new cable connecting the wiring, joined to a longer cable from the front of the car. I bought a new bulb and taillight socket with wire for a 1935 Ford coupe. Our test then showed 5.8 volts. When we put the bulb in...

My Ford has its original paint. Not perfect, but can be shined...beautifully. My Grandpa's car, bought new. Is Leno's ceramic detailer safe for my car?

Whoabillygoats. I would have never ever placed it there. I'm going to go out to the garage when the temp drops below 100. Thank you!

It's been in the trunk of the '35 Ford for decades. Just laying there. Thank you. Jim

Thank you all. Isn't this something to share...we all stare and try solutions, ask forum help, commit and stop. Stare and commit and then go on. Once the cover is attached, I'll put the backcushion in the seat frame iand that will tell me whether it's good or I need to pull it and start over.

I think the wider wood cross pieces are the bottom. I laid a short 2x2 across the top back slant to find where the springs edge should be. I think that also get's me closer to the placement. There were no nails or screws in the flat tabs when I took it apart. I understand that wasn't unusual...I...

Holland, MI. Tom Mason an acquaintance? He sold the Lebaron Bonney kit to me and I drove up to pick it up.

The lower seat cushion went wonderfully. The upper seat cushion springs are unattached to the wood frame. Should the springs be attached to the wood frame...and if so where do the top of the springs fit on the wood frame? These are original seat parts. The springs have small flat metal pieces...

Finally, I found the secrets to removing the parcel shelf and now have the old headliner out. But... Under the headliner, in places, is/was a puffy insulation like padding, 1-2: thick, no longer of a piece in places. I pulled out handfuls of it. Now I'm looking for a replacements that doesn't...

I hope this helps. Also, here's the story of my Grandpa's Ford. Thank you!

Sigh. I have fabric to replace the original headliner used by unknown animals. Holes were torn in the fabric. I've started to remove the old...all the bow bolts are loosened and removed. The fabric that is tucked behind the package shelf...in the lower corners...I cannot figure how to remove...
