I figured out another route. I am just finishing up installing a new headliner and all of the interior trim. I removed the trim above the driver side doors and ran a new wire along the windlace edge and across the roof between the headliner and the chicken wire. Took me a couple of hours to...

thanks.....i guess i just wasn't keying in the right words to pull that up. silly me.

i figured out another solution for mine. you probably can't do the dome light by pulling with old wires. the ground wire on mine was run through holes drilled into the overhead bows. small hole and you probably won't be able to pull a connected wire through it. on mine, the ground wire for...

Am replacing the fixed windows (rear and side 1/4s) in my '30 Fordor. I'm sure there is a seal required but am unable to find anything specifically. Lots of "seals" for windshields and door windows but have searched and cannot find anything applicable. Do these windows have manufactured seals...

30 Fordor. The wiring to my interior overhead light is trashed. Anyone have any ideas on how to run new wires (or any other solution) without tearing out the headliner?

Anyone installed an Interior Kit from Classtique for a 30 fordor? Have a question about seatcover trim.

The engine in my '30 Fordor was rebuilt some while before I bought the car. I tracked down the son of the man who had had the engine work done but he did not know much about it. In doing a compression check, I find the readings at about 110# across all four cylinders. What would have been done...

In the interest of sharing vital information with other enthusiasts here, I submit the following. Restoring a '30 Fordor. Removing the old seat covers to re-do. I report that the front edge of the rear seat cushion upholstery, which is about 54 inches across, was held in place with 96...

I remembered that I had taken a bunch of pictures when I first started working on the car. Was able to find one showing the center post. It was originally put in with the windlace in first, then the wooden strip which was covered in the trim fabric. No cardboard panel. Just the covered wood...

thanks for the info. i've been working on this car for 10 years. maybe someday i'll get it back together.

Interior.....'30 Fordor. There is a thin wood strip (about 2 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick) that runs top to bottom of the center post between the front and back doors. The fabric covered trim panel attaches to this wood strip. Does anyone know.....is this wood strip mounted under the...

Installing interior on '30 fordor. There are wooden strips which fit on each of the center door posts and the interior panel (cardboard strip covered with cloth) is attached to these strips. Do these wooden strips go under the windlace welting or is the welting put in first and then the wooden...

thats what i thought but just wanted to make sure before i put it back on....thanks.

putting my '30 fordor back together after a long hiatus. does the chrome trim piece that mounts on the front edge of the cowl have any kind of "gasket" or "molding" under it or does it just mount metal to metal?
