Like the title says. I have called left a message or 2 and emailed with no response. I noticed the other day that they took a couple of items off their website within the last month or so. That seems to indicate the business is still somewhat, anyway, active.. my last call was Wednesday maybe...

I am having trouble with mounting the trunk striker on my tudor. The car was bought in pieces. I have the Drake striker. The mounting holes do not align with the holes on the trunk. Before I grind the brace in the trunk or make a new brace am I missing a part? Does the striker mount to a missing...

Having trouble with the trunk latch on a 1939 Fird Tudor. The 2 mounting holes on the lip, where the latch protrudes, do not line up. It looks like the area shown in the pic should maybe be flat. The area by the white line looks like it has to be closer to level with the area by the red line...

Does anyone have or can take a picture of the opening in the interior where the regulator stop screw is in view. I had someone put my windows in and the regulator pin comes out of the channel. I know the stop screw SHOULD be accessible through that hole. My project came with no windows so we...

I asked this on another forum if you saw it there Apologies. Does anyone know the measurements of the front side door windows, 1939 Ford Tudor. I have a set of new windows that came with my project. I was asking about mounting the lift/channel to the glass. I was sent a picture from Nu Relics...

What torque value for the 6 bolts that attach the trans mount to the trans, 1939 Ford. Or just tighten them real good. I looked up torque values for 3/8" bolts. It varies from 20 to 30 ft lbs depending on grade. No idea of grade of these bolts. I'm usually guilty of overthinking and that is...

Does anyone put a SMALL bead of something like 3M Bedding in the groove where the gasket locks into?

My '39 Ford Tudor project came with new repro glass channels/lifts. They don't fit very well. The channel where they attach to the regulator is poorly shaped. In fact CW Moss states online that only one company makes them and they are not an exact fit and need tweaking. I found some NOS ones...

I bought a project that had all the window felt removed. The project came with the Vintique kit for all windows. Most of the kit is obvious. Where does the roll go that is on the picture? Thanks

Any problem drilling through the trans mount hole and removing/drilling out that apparently spot welded doubler on the bellhousing on a 1949-53 Merc? The engine steady rod mounts through that hole. 8CM in a '39 Ford. On the '39 Ford that is a through hole. On the 8CM it is threaded and bottoms...

My project '39 Tudor came with new floor and the front seat not installed. I know placement is somewhat discretionary but as a start what is the stock location. Maybe from the bottom of the toe board to front mounting bolt. The new floor is flat as the stock stamped mount is not there and not...

Another newbie question. The bosses where the hinge attaches to the hood are stripped. T-nuts were suggested as a repair. A couple of questions if you have done this. How did you remove the stripped boss? It doesn't really look like a spot weld like for body panels. The 'spots' look too...

I need to straighten the hood hinge mounts on my '39 Ford. I posted a question on removing the brace/mount. Now I have a question on how the hinge mounts should be placed. I've seen where on '39 Deluxe/'40 Standard the hinge plates should be almost flat against the hood. That doesn't look...

I need to remove the hood cross brace/hinge mount '39 Ford Deluxe. I plan on unfolding the rear edge and removing the spot welds to remove. With some measurements. I have seen some say cut it out and weld it back. Opinions? The hood hinge mounts are bent and the attachments are stripped. I tried...

0I couldn't get a pic in PM. Here is the part I'm talking about.

I'm looking for the hinge mounts, not hinges. I need the cross brace, above paint stirrer in pic, and the 2 mounts connected to it. The mounts on mine are bent and stripped. Preferably still in one piece. I found a whole hood but trying to make shipping reasonable. Thanks

Can a '40 Standard hood be used on a '39 DeLuxe? Any differences in trim or mounting. I think the latches are different. The hinge mounts on mine are bent and I'm not having success straightening them. Thanks.

Are the cowl vent pivots the same in the '39 and '40 Fords? Drake sells a hardware kit to "rebuild" the cowl vent mechanism. I can see from their instructions that the handle mechanism is different but the piviot area looks the same. It's hard to tell sizes from a drawing but they look the...

Looking for a passenger side rear window regulator.

I bought the car as a project I don't have any experience banjo rears,. By looking at the axle/housing end it looked like there should be a seal there. So I searched about an outer seal, where the axle comes out of the housing, for a banjo rear. Apparently there isn't one originally but some...
