Looking for a set of '29 Closed Cab Pickup ('28 - M30) seat springs to pick up at Trexlertown Swap Meet on the 24th. Bare springs or upholstered. My truck is a driver so gently used is acceptable. Please reply to this thread or p.m. Thanks!

Looking for a set of '29 Closed Cab Pickup ('28 - M30) seat springs to pick up at Hershey. Already upholstered (black) would be preferable but bare springs would work, too. My truck is a driver so gently used is acceptable. Thanks!

Maybe a longshot, but looking for a set of '29 Closed Cab Pickup ('28 - M30) seat springs to pick up at the Allentown Swap Meet on the 24th. Already upholstered would be preferable but bare springs would work, too. My truck is a driver so gently used is acceptable. Thanks!

Re: Alexander Is At The Early Ford V-8 Museum In Auburn, Indiana Understood. That was the context of the situation above and that is what I wanted to clear up.

Re: Alexander Is At The Early Ford V-8 Museum In Auburn, Indiana In this instance, said "armchair expert" is a respected individual with decades of hands-on Early Ford experience, an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject matter, and an actual car owner -- not some "Johnny come lately" with...

Add my vote for Bill's Auto Works. I've used him, approve of him, and recommend him to others.

Thanks for the input. I'm glad to hear the consistent praise for Brassworks. I'd like my thread to run a little longer hoping someone will have a shop in South-Central, PA (northern Maryland included) to recommend as a recore option, as well. It would be nice to keep the original unit with...

(Ugh, I see I botched my title and can't edit it. Obviously, that should be "shop suggestions". Hate when that happens!) Title says it all. I have a solid original unit that needs to be recored and am looking for suggestions from people with experience using a shop in this area that did the...

Looking for a decent running 1936 engine. If I can hear it run or you have good video of it before it was taken out of service, all the better. Recipient-car is an unrestored original, seldom used, but roadworthy. A good used engine of condition equivalent to that of the car it's going into...

Get an alignment. A competent and accommodating shop that can bend solid front axles for trucks can properly set the caster and camber on a Model A, which is all too often neglected.

I built my wheel spinner from an old engine stand. At first it was powered by a small gear reduction motor, but after it burned up and I needed to use it for a job, I found that I liked it better without. Now I just index it by hand and can start-and-stop it at will. When it was motorized it...

Check the internal clutch adjustment. There are three fingers on the clutch drum, each with an adjusting screw, and these often get neglected. All the external and band adjustments in the world won't compensate for it. If you're having to jack a wheel, you don't have a good neutral. When you...

Just what I was looking for. Thank you very much for your help!

There has to be one out there and I can't find it. When Model A front fenders were painted at the factory, they were dipped and hung. I'd like to see how they had them oriented when hanging. If anyone could provide a photo, link to a video, or whatever, I'd enjoy seeing it. Thanks!
