My 'hodgepodge' 29 standard coupe has both the original Model a grease fittings and the 'zerk' style. I got it this way. I bought the snyders kit to finish the job and replace them all but have a question. The front and rear spring shackles. The fittings appear to be press fit and the...

As I don't have full pics. I am going through the brackets removed from the old Top wood for my 29 standard coupe to start assembling the new top wood.. I've identified brackeets in the picture, bottom right are the rear for the topwood that connects the rear to the rib-rail. The bottom...

Hallelujah. I went looking back over some old data I had and turns out i still had some photos of the original wood installed. I thought they were lost for good. I had the wood placed wrong, according to my photos and I'm back on track.

Turns out I am not as far along with the body wood as I thought. It appears that the fittment for the wood is too large for the side windows. There is about a 3/8" air gap on both pieces that I have to figure out fitttment. Should I cut the "C" and remove a section out of the center? I know...

Thank you. Almost finished body wood install. working on sealing top wood.

OK< thank you. Now to further show my ignorance on the subject. WTF is a 'quarter lock pillar' ? on the bottom of the "C" shaped wood that goes around the side windows? They look like they could go there.

Today I finally figured out the 29 standard coupe body wood 'Jigsaw Puzzle' where everything goes. EXCEPT for the last 2 pieces. I've looked at photos, searched the service bulletin book to no avail. Where do they go? I'm hoping to get the wood finished this weekend. Thanks...

Stuff is coming together. It's not totally installed but I think the parts are fitting in well. Nevermind my other 'toys' in the background.

The pics I have been able to find have been invaluable. I now have the pillar wood in and started with the tacks. I've found a good air 'palm nailer' that should work with my 80 gallon compressor. I'll not be swinging a hammer if I can help it. Now that things are starting to come...

My service bulletin should be here by Friday. I spent some time searching for pictures here and have identified more pieces and where they go. Now to sort out the hardware.

I don't have a copy of the service bulletins. I did find a hardback copy of them on Amazon. Is this the reference you are speaking of?

This is the body wood I have for the standard coupe (45A) It's been sealed and Im trying to identify the pieces. at the top is the U shaped pieces for the side windows. at the bottom are the wood for the back window To the left is the back portion for the seat and in the middle are the...

I do have the wood kits. I guess I should differentiate between top wood and body wood. Both of which I have. I 'think' I could be able to figure out the 'top' wood but the 'body wood' is what's giving me the most headache. Around the windows and hardware needed. Its a big puzzle that i...

It's been several years since I visited this forum, since 2013 I believe. I had been restoring my wife's 29 standard coupe and flat out lost interest. Nothing was going my way and frustration set in so I walked away. I'd make it to the shop and could always find other things to do and avoid...

They have been sold.
