I'm seeking left and right front fender support brackets, the ones that the headlight mount bolts through. Or information on whether any aftermarket replacements are available.

Hey All, Have tried posting this earlier, but I don't think it worked. Looking for a repro set of the 35 Convertible Sedan scuff plates, and also , window garnish moldings in any condition for the same car. Any help greatly appreciated!!

Howell's update. Last week I received an email for a UPS tracking number, and to my complete surprise, it was my parts from Howell. The panel and and front seat pan showed up a couple of days later. I still don't get why they chose to do business this way, but I also had originally ordered a...

Thanks for all the responses regarding these idiots. I tried one last time with an email, and phone calls, but I guess they don't do business that way. I have asked my body and fender guy to try and salvage the one rear body panel that I was trying to order, and the front fender I needed, turns...

Anyone out there who has successfully use Howell's Sheet Metal for T parts? I can't get them to return my emails or calls, after leaving at least four messages. Trying to buy the rear body panel for my 27 Touring. I'm getting very frustrated with trying to contact them.

To anyone who currently owns or is restoring a 1935 Convertible Sedan, a Facebook page has just been started for owners of this beautiful model. At present, there are three members, but hopefully it will grow quickly, and will provide a dedicated page to display and trade information. Not that...

Bob, These are great! After digging around in my garage, and sifting through boxes, I found the remains of my original wood, and the metal piece that goes on the face of the wood. Now my question is, how did you pull that belt rail up to the sheet metal without messing the body metal up? I...

Don, how close does that body re-inforcement bar come to the inside of the rear sheet metal? This may be why I am confused, as my vertical piece is several inches away from the inside sheet metal. Thanks! Bob

Don, Thanks very much for the pictures. They do help, yet look somewhat different from the wood that I have. I can't recall who made it, as it has been a few years, but I'm going to take some pics and post them, and hope I can get some more opinions. The sheet metal piece was not on the wood...

Hey Bob!! Thanks so much for the pics!! It almost looks like there is a seam in the middle of the horizontal piece. Mine is one piece, and I kept thinking that the wood went between the body and was sandwiched by the vertical metal support in the car. It looks like this is not the case. Now I...

I am trying to fit the wood pieces into place on my 35 Convertible Sedan. A few years back when I was beginning to search parts for this car, I found a supplier who made the "package shelf" wood, along with the side pieces, and the rear door support legs. I am not replacing those door support...

Jim, If the floor board is still available, I would be interested in it for the 35 Convertible Sedan I am trying to bring back from the dead. I'm in New Windsor, MD. Thanks, Bob

John, I completely agree, I camped at the local RV camping this year, and had a great time. Sorry I didn't see you there. Still looking for a few things for my 35 Convertible Sedan. Bob Tyson

I've always known it as "Safety Wire", and you can still get it through McMaster-Carr, or other industrial supply companies.

Believe it or not, my 35 Tudor Deluxe also has a lean from side to side. The driver's side sits about 2" lower. After getting this car running, I have had so much fun driving it, that I just haven't taken the time to figure out the suspension yet, so I will be trying what Dick said as well...
