This is an old post that I offered to send a DVD of the rear roll down window installation. I ordered that from an older member who no longer offers them. I sent it free of charge to the first member replying to my e-mail. I told him there was no charge if he would just pass it on when finished...

Thank's a bunch Dave!

Even with frame webbing under the fender apron I would think it would be within a 1/4". It would get me started. Come on guy's it would be a good comparison with more than one car. Rich

Mike : My rad has a different mounting flange than yours. Is it possible to use a level from the shell lip to measure off to the side of the frame? I was hoping some one would have one with the engine out. (I have helped restorers!) Rich

Help an old Hot Rodder out guy's. I need the height of the grill shell measured from the top of the frame right behind the radiator to the lip of the grill shell that the hood sits on. I do not have a stock rad to use for reference. I will be using stock hood on my full fendered Coupe...

Thank's 1936ford64, payment sent.

Need 2 1930 front fender braces. Looking for the round forged type, not the stamped steel. These are for a Coupe body style. Thank's, Rich

Maybe I should explain a little better. The guy I bought the car from 4 yrs ago, bought it from the guy in Indiana in 99. The Indiana owner had owned it since 1952. I have copies of all the titles with matching vins on all. If you ask, Ind DMV will give you a copy of the sellers title which is...

I purchased a 31 Coupe 4yrs ago from out of state. I had the Police check on the frame numbers, and DMV did title trace. I have a 1952 title from IN that came with the car, and the sellers title from IL, and every thing matches. The Vin# (engine) relates to Nov 26, 1930. This was bare body, and...

Thank's Tom, I believe I have located the holes. I went To Mac's site, and found the special bolts you mentioned. Thank's again, Rich

Thank's Tom, I haven't bought aprons yet ,just trying to plan ahead. Do you see in the above pics which holes are used for the carriage bolts? Thank's, Rich

Thank's a lot for the help Guy's! So the only thing holding the aprons on are the body mount holes? There are no dedicated seperate attachment holes for the aprons? Thank's again, Rich

Re: Play causing front end shake? *UPDATED 8-20-12* Mike: I understand your hesitancy, and I do not profess to be an expert. I think I qualified my post by saying one should have all the correct installed parts. Just speaking from my own experiance I drove that Model A almost 30,000 miles...

Guy's: Trying to identify all the frame holes, what they are for, and what size bolt. I have 4 pics with the holes circled, and marked. I have identified most, but still need help. I think 1, and 2 are proably alternate hood hold down options? Thank's, Rich

Re: Play causing front end shake? *UPDATED 8-20-12* I have been thru this in the past with my own Model A years ago, and with friends cars. Some stock, some Hot Rod. All the suggestions are good, and I followed them all. Some were cured, and some not. The ones that nothing seemed to cure were...
