Hello... I recently reacquired my old roadster body after it being in an accident. I am looking for an original filler panel (the panel above the decklid). Also looking for an original drivers side door, or possibly a pair of doors. Doors don't have to be perfect. Also looking for original (or...

Hello... I am looking for an original drivers door for my 32 roadster. Door doesn't have to be perfect, would prefer an early style door to match my passenger door. Will buy a pair of doors if necessary. Also looking for an original above the decklid panel, and original or original style wood...

Most stock springs I've pulled apart have a similar line...its wear from the 2nd spring working against the main leaf. The ends of the each spring digs into the one below if they aren't kept lubed, and they never seem to be. The wear line is now on the bottom since it was bent & re-versed...

Also, after reading that the rear spring fits in the shackle correctly but is too short to reach the other one....remember that these style springs have to be spread to install them, even a stock spring. That's why spreader bars were made for these springs. They don't work on reversed...

I think your spring is fine. I have reversed several 32-34 front and rear springs for my cars. I do all mine cold as mentioned above. Lay the spring on the floor, mark the arc of the spring, then mark the spring in 2" increments and run it through my press, pressing on the marks. Keep running it...

The 32 sold for 65,000. I don't think the 33 sold.

I personally think this was the deal of the week at Hershey. Sam

Will be at Hershey late Tuesday - Friday with the following... 1932 Ford 4 door complete window garnish set, a few spare 32 4 door garnish mouldings, rear quarter window garnishes for 32 2-door, some nice 32-34 truck garnish mouldings, 32-34 door top covers, like new set of 33-34 12 volt horns...

Current project...34 5w. Future projects...rust free 33 sedan, 34 sedan that was boxed up in a barn in 63 that I pulled out about 3 years ago, and a nice 33 5w that was torn down in the 70's but never finished. I bought it from the original owner's son. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to sell...

Bump

Really nice original 39/40 Ford Business coupe seat with flip up back. Complete, nicely covered in a tweed/burlap type material. Could stand to be cleaned, has been in storage for several years. 950.00, may trade on original 32-34 Ford parts. Sorry, I don't have the time to deal with shipping...

33's are flat for sure, and all of my 34's have the crows feet. However, Donnie Smart once told me that early 34's were flat as well... Sam

And to add this...I would only get early Ford transmission parts from Mac Van Pelt. I rebuilt the 39 Trans in my 5w with parts from Macs Auto Parts and had problems shifting. With guidance from both Mac Van Pelt and Bruce Lancaster, we finally realized the inside bore of the synchro rings that I...

I finally found a picture of one for a 33, and I agree, it's not what I have. Any other thoughts?

I've got a set for a 30-31, they don't have the double belt line trim at the bottom...atleast my set doesn't. A friend that owns a local rod shop has a set of 33 fiberglass 3w garnish moldings that have the same profile on the bottom, so that had me thinking they may be 33.
