Looks like I did not post my message properly. I am reinstalling my front fenders and running boards. I have new fender welt and have the old welt for comparison. I know that the welt goes between the fender, splash apron and running board. Is there supposed to be welt between the running...

I am in no way putting my car in Fine Point judging - hence this question. When replacing the front running board brackets are the 'replacement bolts' a suitable substitute for riviets? I had to remove the brackets as they have suffered fatigue breaks at the top hole and were barely being...

This came across my Facebook page the other day and I had to share it here. Maybe the styling of the car would make this more appropriate for the HAMB ;) Coming from a family with a long history of playing with Legos - and now playing with bigger toys - I found this quite fun and...

I have gone through my SW horn, cleaning the contacts, replaced brushes, adjusted, oiled, etc. This past weekend we joined with 37 other pre-WWII vehicles for a car show at the Village of Winona (there were 19 Model A's) Everybody's Klaxon-type horns sounded very similar with the classic...

I was the highest bidder for an antique 'picnic' record player (Birch). From what I can tell these were popular into the 40‛s - So now, I'm looking for some period music in the form of 78’s to play while I'm hanging out at the car shows. I cranked it up today and put on a few of the disks I...

I was digging around the local hardware store and saw one of the digital laser measuring tools. They had several - ranging in accuracy and price. The +/- 1/16" device was on sale for $69. This got me to thinking that this might be a good way to measure toe-in. Has anybody done this with the...

I am not a purist, but I'd like to know/see how the lower seat cushion is installed in the 1931 Rumble Seat. I am not sure how it is anchored and what the method of 'securing' the lower cushion to prevent it from slipping around. Pictures of the lower seat cushion springs and the way the...

I purchased one of these flag holders a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the emblem was lost during an outing. Are they still around? http://autoflagholders.com/ I have tried to send e-mail to mjones, but have not heard back. I thought I'd ask on FordBarn. In the meantime, I'll dig...
