JW, You’re right, it is a straight window TS, and your point about the straight window not having the lip is just what I needed to hear. I had decided to clean up the one I took out of there and reuse it rather than go with the new one. Thanks much guys Wayne

A couple weeks ago I posted about replacing glass in my '30 Murray Town Sedan and got several good replies. I've now obtained the window glass, a channel kit, and new lower channel. I was getting ready today to start assembling everything and, of course, ran into a snag - so a couple questions...

Just ordered a new Murray glass channel, bedding tape, and a channel kit as was suggested to replace everything in there. One thing that made it so hard to get out was an adhesive on the channels. Do they really need to have an adhesive put on them? I could see putting some on the top sponge to...

I am replacing a broken drivers side window on my 1930 Town Sedan. I got the glass out in two intact pieces, which was not a trivial operation, and the lift bar at the bottom off. Using the two pieces as a template, a glass company is making a new piece for me using Triplex glass. Once I have...

Not sure about the Model A, but Model T bodies were painted with a low pressure spray, really a low pressure drizzler, that looked like a small rake. The paint dripped off and was collected for reuse. Parts that were added to the bodies later, like fenders, were dipped. Passenger car bodies were...

My Roadster has a pair of Tiffany cowl lamps as pictured in the Accessories book, I've not seen another pair. Also have a lockable box on the running board that holds three service cans like a picture in Henry's Lady. Haven't seen one of those either. I have several pieces for the Model T I've...

We've used a Town Sedan with a good trunk on the back for our longer trips. I wouldn't use anything with side curtains. A group of Model T's have done the coast to coast thing twice now in 10 years. If a T can make it, an A certainly can...

I use cornhead grease in all of mine. Its not really a grease per se, more of a super 600W. I get it at John Deere dealers.

I just don't see how they can call it a Model A, but then I've never understood that. There's got to be less than a couple percent Model A in it, and its probably registered as a 1930 Model A.

We've had our A in several weddings at this point. Also proms and the like. We made up a period looking "Just Married" sign we attach to the rear, put white bows on the radiator and each door handle. Nothing that would stand up to a high-speed run though. Our insurance agent told us that as...

We have a 24' with a V-nose and an extra foot in height. Tows beautifully behind our F250. I like having the extra length because we also tow our '42 Ford Tudor, and we got the extra height to tow our Model T. We mounted a pick-up style tool box in the front by the V which doubles as a bench...

Never really had a moment in one of the Model A's or T's, but a couple months ago in my '42 Jeep I was coming home from an event. We had left a little early because we could see rain clouds to the south, and WeatherBug showed it coming toward us. Got most of the way home when it opened up. The...

On exit, you almost have to guide their feet to the step plates and the stretch to the bumper mount is a duzzy. Other exit procedure if they're up to it - jump down.

I pulled quite a bit of gravel out of the frame of my '42 Ford Sedan when I was first going through it, so the car must have spent some time on gravel roads. Based on a number of things, we believe the car was built during the last week of regular production before Ford switched to war...

Had that same problem for the past several years since I passed the 65 mark. Staying hydrated is the key, but is a very good idea anyway. Last year I had the pneumonia vaccine, which is a good idea, but gave me a severe case of vertigo for about a week right in the middle of my maintenance...
