Hi guys. Long time, no post.... I have a 1939 Mercury with a reasonable body but otherwise completely "run down", it needs EVERYTHING done. I decided my best bet was to buy a reasonable sedan to use for parts, and I found a very good one which I am about to get. Basic question is: How much...

Hi guys! I am about to purchase a 1929 Woody, a 4 door station wagon, which is basically a very good older restoration, but for some reason I don't understand (and neither does the son of the owner) there is no rear seats for it, only the front one. I am not sure but I don't believe there is any...

Hi everybody, and merry Christmas. Santa brought me a one owner 1957 Thunderbird with about 40,000 original miles. A great original car who's biggest sin was that it had a color change, from yellow (Inca gold?) to a bright orange. It is very complete and still has it's original interior, in...

Hi guys: I just got a 1930 Ford A Standard roadster, to replace a 1930-31 that I have that had some adapted things, like juice brakes, 12 volts, and parts from different types and models and which I will now be selling. In other words, it is a sort of trade... I get a better car, still with...

Hi guys: I am looking for the following items to complete my set of 1936 Ford tools: - Tire iron. 68-17019. 12" long with square hole and one end curved into a flat end to remove hubcaps - Tire pump. I understand two models could have been used, B-17052-A1 y B-17052-A2... any of them would...

I have a couple of air pumps that need restoration, but they are mostly nice to start with, even with good wood handles and rods.... what I need is really the hose with the tire fitting or valve and the clips to tighten the hose to the pump and valve, and also the leather seal, but the vendors I...

Sorry for the rather simple question but I searched and browsed the forum with no luck... What is the correct type of fan belt used on 1922-23? While looking at Lang's catalog, I see the leather belts, I some 'endless belts that are made of neoprene impregnated polyester, dark brown, and also...

A friend of mine tells me my horn might not be correct... but I want to ask the experts. It does look different to what Macs has on their catalog as a Model T electric horn, but I have seen some at ebay that would seem to indicate mine may be correct... so, can anybody tell me if what I have is...

Hi: Today we checked compression on my 1923 model T. Pistons 1 and 2 showed 40 lbs both cold or hot, while pistons 3 and 4 showed 35 pounds cold and 40 hot. Is this normal? I live at an altitude of 1.5 miles, if that makes any difference. Thanks! Victor

I am trying to complete a set of tools (not necesarily with the absolutely correct marks but essentially the correct tools)... what you see in the pics is what I got right now, and an air pump, which is being restored right now and not in the pics. I know that I am missing at least the oiler...

Hi Guys, A friend of mine is offering me what he says is a 1931 Deluxe roadster. I am going to go and see it on monday, but it is about a 10 hour drive round trip, so I better know what to look for, and I have a few questions: First of all, the car was very poorly restored, but using good...

Hi: I just got a 1954 Mercury Sun Valley. A difficult project in the sense that I need to do it all over. Before starting, I want to check that the car corresponds to the papers I got for it, so I have a couple of questions: Where can I check on the car for numbers? I mean VIN or chassis...

Hi: I am new to the forum. I have a 1936 convertible sedan and need to locate a correct ignition lock cylinder and door lock, with HURD keys, preferably a set. Anybody out there that might have them, either as a set or separate? Thanks, Victor
