I wonder if the graphics are repeated on the roof of the car now as they were back in the day

I was snooping around in the Nebraska state archives and found this cool video of the 20 millionth Ford, a Model A of course. We've probably all seen photos of this car, but around the 11:05 mark, you can see that the top of the car is adorned with graphics, something probably not known. Pretty...

I replaced my shutoff valve this past weekend.

What about the shims? Did he put any crank shims in?

All, I am a Model A guy by birth, but ran across this gem last week...thought you'd like to see it. Rich

Snyder's is now carrying a keyed red steering wheel for all those that want the two-tooth column with the authenticity of a red wheel. From what I understand, red steering wheels were standard from beginning of production through Feb 1929 or so

We painted all three separate. Then we assembled the cowl and tank. Once complete and ready to install we clipped the welting on and slowly worked it all together into the front of the body. Take your time and have friends help [/URL]

Not anything to do by yourself. You should have someone with you holding the strip above the door. I recommend not seating them all the way at first either. If you need to adjust the panel, you want to be able to remove it. Once you're happy with the fitment, drive them home and pull the...

Brookville Roadster of Brookville OH is where you can get a newly manufactured bed. I have one and aside from some small details, are excellent reproductions. They have a website. Is yours not salvageable? Looks to be in pretty darned good shape. Rich

Larry, Mission accomplished. The front and back were disarmingly easy, but the rain gutters were another story. We added a screw to the front and back to hold them into place. When purchased, the parts looked pretty rough, but a bit of blasting revealed that most of the corrosion was on the...

Thanks for the reply. I assume you tacked in the middle and made your way to the corners, correct?

Can anyone tell me if the two part molding strips can be salvaged from a 1928 Tudor? Specifically the one along the header and the one at the rear of the vinyl top. I took great pains to pry the two piece apart very carefully. It would be ideal to re-use them if possible. The did have a...

I picked up the rest of the parts from the previous owner of my 1928 Tudor today. Amongst the stuff was this curved interior panel with a backing brace attached with three split tail rivets. Does anyone know what this is or where it goes? Or even if it is a Model A part? Also the item in the...

Once i get the car disassembled I will photograph and take dimensions of the individual parts of the heater system Rich
