Re: Used stock interiors… yeah. Thanks for the kind word. Truly. If anyone is interested in taking a peek at the struggle, the thread is here: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/achievable-pre-war-supe-job-build.1274562/ Lots of history laced into the thread. This is Ryan’s thought...

Re: Used stock interiors… yeah. I agree, ronn. Adding age through carefully applied technique takes skill. Making it look authentic takes a real astute eye. Studying the originals… whether photographs a ‘29 Ford in 1937 or wear patterns on a well used dog lock carbine… that’s how you develop...

Re: Used stock interiors… yeah. Roar with Gilmore! Yeah, man! You get it. Such similar ideas. So what was your approach for interior?

Re: Used stock interiors… yeah. Brent, your food for thought feeds my history nerd. This build is as much a historic reproduction and “experimental archeology” exercise as it is a mechanical construction. Getting the details right is important to me, as much as it is for a guy doing fine-point...

Re: Used stock interiors… yeah. Hey, roto. I have bottom springs that I’m working on. I’ll need to buy new seat back springs. Ideally I’d like to just find the seat covers from an older restoration that someone is redoing the interior on… freshening up, so to speak. Just need the seat material...

Used stock interiors… yeah. Hey, friends. Long shot I know… but I’m looking for a worn but serviceable stock ‘28/‘29 Ford Phaeton interior for a prewar build. The car is a 28/29 Phaeton that is being built as a circa 1936 garage/speed parts supplier car. It’s not exactly a restoration, nor a...

Hey, gang. Long shot I know… but I’m looking for a worn but serviceable stock ‘28/‘29 Ford Phaeton interior for a prewar build. If you or someone you know is updating an older restoration, let me know! Ryan

Thanks for all the replies. In the absence of knowledge from someone that owned one new, I’ll not paint the script. For now! Ha.

That’s my assumption based on research too, alexiskai. Just trying to firm things up. I’m the guy that takes the time to grind modern markings off of bolts if they can be seen. Ha!

Hey, gang. Quick question that the H.A.M.B. wasn’t able to definitively answer. I own an original 6:1 Yellow Winfield head. Do we know if the heads had the “Winfield” script painted in a contrasting color as delivered? I’m trying to get the ‘29 Phaeton as period correct as possible, and this is...

WTB: ‘28/‘29 Windshield Stanchions Hey, gang. Looking for original or reproduction windshield posts for the ‘29 Phaeton project. Actually an entire windshield, but let’s start with posts. Chopped and laid back are ok. Thanks in advance, Ryan

Hey, gang. It’s a ways off, but the phaeton is going to need interior. If you’re taking out stock interior from an older restoration to update it, I’m interested in the old stuff. My son and I are working towards a late ‘30s build, so something with some wear and tear is more appropriate than...

Looking for a few Stromberg SF or SFM updraft carbs to give a go on my A banger. Size 1, so SF-1 or SFM-1. Hopefully off of an automobile and not stationary equipment! This could be fun…

Are there any external markings on the rear differential to indicate gearing on an A?

And then... …then there were two. Well… 1.5? Almost one? I don’t know. There’s a whole car in here somewhere…
