I want to remove the corn head grease from the steering box on my '34. Is there a way to remove it without removing the steering box?

1934 Cabriolet. I am in the process of installing one of Dan Brusegard's upper steering shaft bearing kits. I'm at the point of having to remove the original (I assume) rubber grommet in the upper end of the steering column. I tried inserting long screws into the grommet and pulling but this...

I need to remove the steering wheel on my '34 to replace the bushing in the steering column with an upgrade bearing. Before I can remove the wheel I need to remove the lights and horn button assembly and in order to remove that I need to remove the tab at the bottom of the control rod. See...

I have a '50 or '51 Ford Flathead engine that I suspect came out of a military vehicle because it has a tag on it stating that it was rebuilt at Fort something ( I don't remember for sure). My question is are Military engines different from passenger car engines, and if so, in what way are...

I haven't driven my '34 for over a year but when I did today the steering was very stiff. It's never been good but this is worse(or maybe It's because I'm a year older). The steering box has been filled with John Deere corn-head grease (or some name like that). When i last worked on the car I...

I am looking to possibly purchase a '31 A Roadster Pickup but I find that the gap between the front of the door opening and the front of the seat is so tight that I have a very difficult time getting into the vehicle. I have been told that this is a known issue with those vehicles. My question...

All I wanted to do is install a pair of Robert Shewman's thermostats. Easy job. Right? well not if you can't remove the upper end of the hose from the radiator. It seems that I need to remove the entire hose but the bottom end is stuck to the water pump. Any ideas other than cutting the hoses...

I have purchased the brake upgrade kit for my '34 from Flathead Ted and I need some decent instructions on how to install the kit. Instructions were supplied with the kit but the pictures are not clear and the instructions aren't either. It seems that the instructions would be OK for someone...

I'm dropping almost 2 volts - 6 volt system - across my ignition switch. I'm assuming oxidized contacts and have ordered a new ignition switch body from C&G. I'm assuming the new switch body will cure my problem but I would like to hear other possible issues. Bill

My '34 is difficult to turn when not moving or moving slowly. I put a number of layers of polyethylene plastic sheeting under the front wheels and the steering effort is relatively easy so I'm assuming that the issue is the friction between the tires and the pavement. I have original type bias...

The floor mat in my rumble seat slides forward and invariably ends up under the front seat. What is the school, or other, solution for attaching the floor mat to the floor in the rumble seat? Thanks

The rumble seat side panel on the RH side of my '34 has the opening and flap for, I assume, the tool kit and the panel on the LH side has an odd shaped 4 sided opening with a rubber like material attached behind it. What is the opening on the LH side for and what is the purpose of the rubber...

I want to clean the fabric upholstery in my '34. Any suggestions?

Thanks to those who helped with my window questions I think I have my window issues fixed. Now I have a couple of more questions: What is the recommended lubricant for the window mechanism and the door glass run channels? What is required to replace the rubber door check strap? Thanks, Bill

I am working on the door windows on my '34 Cabriolet and I need to remove the windows. I have been told on this site that the key to removing the windows is to first remove the door window stops. I have looked extensively and cannot locate the window stops. So if anyone here knows where the...

Is there a source yet for a 34 behind the cowl lamp mounted outside mirror?

The door windows on my '34 Cabriolet roll up and down smoothly but they need to be adjusted to set at the proper angle when down and up and the front of one of the windows needs to be moved out a bit. My experience with other cars is that the window adjustments are different for each car...

I noticed a while back that my local AAA office had a plastic replica battery box in their office promoting something - not sure what. Anyway, it seemed to me that this plastic box just might hold my 6V Optma battery. Far from looking original but at least a black box. I told the folks at AAA...

I am looking for a LH (or a pair RH & LH) outside rear view mirror for a 1934 Ford Cabriolet.

Now that I'm able to actually drive my '34 Cabriolet I find that I really miss not having outside rear view mirrors. I'd love to have suggestions/photos showing how others have attached these mirrors. Thanks, Bill
