Clever! I'll look at that today. Thanks.

I want to put new screens in the opening of my 34 Ford horns. What technique works such that the screen edges will not scratch the horn surface when you are putting it in?

Thanks, Brian. That's helpful and makes sense.

How do you remove and replace the "bug screens" in the '33-'35 horns without damaging the screens or the horns?

This looks like a newer horn motor to me than a '35. Is it possible that it was a aftermarket replacement?

Dave Tatom has done dyno runs on a blown flathead he races at Bonneville. He is in Mt Vernon, WA, and tests his flatheads, as well as other engines, in Renton, as I recall.

I need a good original or repop rear window frame for a '34 Cabriolet.

As "Deuce Lover" responded, the dimensions are 5" x 24 3/4", measuring to the outer edges of the frame. You can email me at jerryetter@frontier.com. Where in SE MO?

With Lebaron Bonney out of business now, is there another source for a rear window frame for a 34 Cabriolet?

The stamped "C" makes it an original. Other letters were also used, and in some cases no letter at all. There are other ways to tell an original but are more subtle. The sharpness of the edges of the groove across the bumper, and the finish of the outer edges are a couple of them. You listed...

With the exception of the Vicky rear bumper, I have always believed that the front and rear bumpers of 33/34 cars have the same amount of arch before they are mounted, but that the front bumper ends up straighter than the rear when they are mounted. I have seen statements that the rear has more...

Karl. Good on you! You do nice work, and I have been very happy with the stuff I have gotten from you in the past. As a followup, just this week I spoke to a person that works at an office next to the new address for Superior Car Parts. They said they never see any sign of activity at that...

I have all the latest contact info. They have moved to Frankfort, Il, and are now not responding to current customer's calls. If you look at their website, it is out of date, and the people shown are no longer involved with the company.

Another test for both the front and rear brackets is to put them on the frame and measure the distance between the bumper mounting holes for the inner pair. A '33 bumper has 22" between the inner mounting holes, and a '34 bumper has 26". To put it another way, the only difference between the...

Has anyone had a recent contact with Superior Car Parts, the company that made very nice top irons? They recently moved to Frankfort, Il, having been taken over by new owners, but the communications seem to have trailed off.
