36" metal trunk with a wood floor. 18" tall and 16" wide. One hinge needs reattached but all the pieces are there. The latches, I do not have a key. The trunk is located near Fortville Indiana 46040. To big to be shipped.

I had the place in Indy do some mid-60's British parts for me years ago, I was pleased with what they were able to do but surprised at what they couldn't. The inner & outer fenders were great nothing but shiny metal. However they were not able to touch the seamsealer on the edges of the doors...

Still have these if anyone is interested

A pair of spindles with spindle arms. $40plus shipping from Fortville, IN

I used Snyder's and Bratton's for mine, I couldn't really tell a quality difference. A couple of parts I had to order from Mac's since I couldn't find the pieces anywhere else. Again no problems with receiving parts or quality of the parts. One thing I will tell you, If you don't already have...

Thanks for the offer Bruce, I may take you up on it when the weather gets a little warmer. Hickory Corners Michigan sounds like a good option also. Thanks again Rick

My wagon is a long way from completion. I hope to have the paper work squared away with the BMV soon. After that my hope is to work on it again.

Henry's 31 I'm glad you found brackets like the original. I attached a couple of pictures of what I made for my wagon, not original but they seem to work. I'm curious, what did you pay for your brackets? You probably already know this but if you take one of the pictures from my first posting...

Your welcome - May I ask who you are getting the reproductions from?

These are not mine so I don't know the exact year/application or dimensions. They're just some pictures I found on the internet years ago. Hope it helps Rick

I went through a similar problem with a "rebuilt" front axle assembly I bought a while back. It wasn’t until a few months later I installed the assembly and realized for the brakes to work, the brake rods had to push the front brake lever. Believe me, there was a lot of head scratching before I...

A couple of years ago I bought used front and rear springs off an add on Craigslist an hour from where I live. It turns out he had street rodded has 31coupe and that's where the parts came from. After I paid for the springs he asked if I would be interested in some other stuff he had left over...

Harvey, Here’s a couple of pictures from a project I started years ago. Unfortunately life has gotten in the way and my project has been slow going. Like Fred, a table saw, band saw, and router table became my go to tools for the woodwork. A lot of mortice and tenons have been made using the...

I'll preface this by saying it's been years since I have been in the business. But the most important thing to remember is everything you put on as a topcoat is only as good as what is underneath it. If it was mine I would most definitely use a metal etching primer after a good cleaning.
