Do any of the screws in the middle of that panel adjust the height or travel of the window, like the one on the front window regulator, or do they just hold the regulator to that panel?

I don't see how to replace the window and window regulator without removing that panel.

Finally getting back to replacing this glass, window regulators, etc., etc. Does the panel that appears to hold the regulator come off by taking off the 6 screws I've highlighted with arrows? Is that some sort of body sealant that is between that panel and the wheelwell?

Yes it is Paul. It came from Mac's.

Here's how I rigged the one on my '48. I have since replaced the clamps with better ones and the pump pictured with an AIRTEX E8016S. I still intend to install a shutoff valve before the filter. I do not use a mechanical pump at all. It's wired through an oil pressure safety switch and then to...

Thanks. I did not see them after an initial scan of their website or after a review of my Roy Nacewicz catalog. I'll call.

Anybody know where I can find the two bolts that connect the grill upright to the front splash pan on my '48 Tudor? I have not been able to find the PNs in the Body Parts book. Thanks, Dave

I use these hub nut washers on the wheels on my 48. Not sure if they'd work for yours though. https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_mercury_early/hub-nut-washer-cupped-stainless-steel-ford-passenger.html

If you have the $, I might recommend just getting a panel set from Mac's. I got a set for my Tudor that I'm currently having covered. They look pretty good and include even the small panels for the sides of the windshield and pillars. The holes are pre-punched...

For me, here's why Wizzernick's diaper idea was a good one: I don't have a garage, and I have a new driveway that I don't want to ruin. I bought a nice big new drip pan, but the wind would blow it around and it would fill with water, leaves, pine needles, etc., so it is a pain to maintain. An...

Just an update. Have a couple hundred miles on it now and it's stayed in place even after highway speeds over 70. No more oil leaks on the driveway. Now, to resolve that coolant leak . . .

A sampling of the more impressive engines on display at last year's Ty-Rods show in MA. Hope it doesn't get cancelled this year like so many other early season events have.

I too have recently noticed I have an anti-freeze leak on my 59-AB. Dripping from the starter. Can't see where it's coming from yet.

Here's my not-quite-stock 59AB.

Getting to point where I may attempt to replace the rear quarter glass. The Shop Manual only has instructions on replacing the swing-out glass in a coupe. Can anyone give me advice on replacing the sliding version in my Tudor?
