Thanks to all - cjshakers pictures show exactly what I needed to see. Someone made a new inner panel on this car but there were no holes drilled...I already have a new harness & wire blocks but thanks for the offer.

I'm looking for a picture or information on the headlight wire routing on a 1950 coupe. Specifically, where the harness comes through the radiator core support at the front of the car, the type of grommet (if used), where the grounds attach, etc... I've looked at the wiring diagrams at Van Pelt...

Piecing together a 1950 coupe for an older gentleman, and it needs seat upholstery. I've done a bunch of musclecar stuff including installing reproduction upholstery kits. So I told the owner if we buy a kit I can recover his seats. I've spent hours on the internet trying to find seat...

I'll look at the hardware catalogue, thanks for the tip. rjlester - I'm on an acreage about 15 minutes south east of stony - If I could have a look at you car it would be great. I'm in Stony a lot, maybe one day I can swing by?

Hey, that's great, thanks! I'll start piecing it together & if I have more questions I'll PM.

Hi all, I'm starting to work on a friends car, it's a 1950 Canadian Meteor 2 door coupe (basically a Ford). A nice clean car, next to no rust. BUT....a previous owner took all the front sheetmetal off of it, then loosely put it back on to sell the car. Probably half the bolts are missing, and...

OK, so it's a 1935. Thanks Model51 for the clues. I was able to get the sending unit working, thanks to some old posts I found on the forum. Wiring is all new. Unfortunately, still no fuel gauge. So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement gauge. I'll try find any 6V Ford gauge to use as a test...

I went ahead & dropped the tank. What the heck, might as well make sure everything is hooked up! I removed the sending unit; it's like nothing I've ever seen (but I'm a GM guy...sorry...). A little searching here and I determine it to be a King Seeley sender, which leads me to believe that...

Here is a picture of the gauges from the front. Single fuel gauge on the left, combination amps/oil pressure on the right (neither work, but that's a different problem...). They look correct & all match each other. That said, I'm no expert on 1930's Ford gauges. Based on the way the rest of the...

As noted, 1935 truck. Still 6V positive ground. What started out as repairing a few electrical gremlins has basically turned into a full re-wire of the entire rig.. Issue of the day is the fuel gauge. It's electric; I'm not sure if its original to the truck. I thought 1935 the gauge was...

I've got the horns on the bench & cleaned the points. Using a spare battery I've put power to the leads. One horn kind of works; it will make a bit of noise but only for a moment & then it goes dead. If I manually open the points & re-test it will do the same thing. The other horn does...

Hey, thanks for all the help! I found a link for Tyree Harris wiring in VA, I'll give hi a call. A new harness is what I need for sure. As far as the horns go - are they hard to adjust? I'll pull them off the truck & bench test.

Hello all, new member here. I was referred here from the HAMB as this project is more "original" than you might find on the HAMB... 1935 ford pickup. It belongs to Bob, the father of a good friend. Bob has a small fleet of cool old stuff, but he's not a mechanic. The truck is really nice, but...
