Hi folks, Converting my '38 to open drive as going the 5-speed route. Just pulled my torque-tube forward expecting to find a coupler to split it from the pinion, but have found this... ...no coupler and a one-piece shaft. I've seen these on Model A's but not V8s before. Anyone else come...

Unboxed the electric wiper kit for my '38 at 3pm, 4 hours later I have twin-speed wipers. What a great set-up. Simplicity itself, and worked perfectly first time. If you're pondering getting a kit from these guys, buy with confidence.

Guys, The wiring harness on my '38 Deluxe at the bottom of my steering has become frayed and brittle so needs changing. Some years ago I bought a new one for a model A and it was very poor quality. Does anyone make a good quality replacement for a '38 or should I attempt (if possible) to...

Morning guys, quick question. Is it possible to remove the clutch and brake pedal assembly from a '38 with the engine and box in situ? If so, what's the secret? Thanks in advance.

I'm fitting F100 brakes to the front of my '38 and I need a pair of adapters to run the wide 5 wheels. Does anyone have a pair - such as those made by Dick Spadaro - with 5.5" pcd to wide 5 please? Cheers. Darren

’28 Phaeton body of Australian origin, imported from California (bought from Coop via the HAMB) in 2011 and restored. The body sits on top of a ’31 Model A chassis. The phaeton easily seats five and makes a great family rod. French military flathead V8 with 4” crank, 40,000 miles on military...

Hi guys, Just in the process of repairing and making good my roof irons and have a quick question. When the irons are folded down, how close to the body should they be when at rest? The main bow folds straight back on its pivot, but when the rest folds down, it wants to make contact with the...

Hey guys, Just about to start repairing an old set of irons for my '28 tub that came with a big pile of bits. Before I get too far in to it, can anyone tell me what the difference is between the earlier and later irons? I don't want to spend a few days on these to find they're the wrong ones...

Hi folks, Bit confused over Model A blues. Which Blue is the main body color here? Duchess?

...are required for my '28 phaeton. Seems to be a bit of shortage at the moment and I could do with a pair. Can anybody help me out? I'm in England but have contacts in CA if you didn't want to ship 'em out. Thanks in advance. Darren

Guys, Anyone got any original phaeton door latches that they're willing to part with? I've read that the new repros aren't all that, so I'd like to rebuild some originals, though my project has nothing at the moment. Appreciate you looking. Darren info@flatheadmeltdown.com

Hey guys, Season's greetings to you all. I'm soon to be collecting a '29 phaeton body of Australian origin. The wooden subrails are long gone and the body is coming with Brookville replacement 'rails. I've only had a '31 coupe and a '30 tudor beforehand, and I never had to work on the...

Hey folks, bit of a daft question here. Just bought a pair of the new 'Lincoln'-style brake drums to use with '40-'42 rear hubs, but I'm unsure which wheel studs I should be using. Looking at the Macs website, it lists a few different sizes. There's one with a .56" shoulder by 1.38" length...
