    Seat tracks for late 31 coupe

    Looking for a diagram or drawing that shows how the track runners for a late 31 coupe fit together. A member of my club purchased this car a few weeks ago and the seat was just sitting on the floor of the coupe unattached. There is a part of the track that is riveted to the floor, but the part...

    Radiator fill question

    I recently purchased a very nice Brassworks radiator. My old radiator had no baffle in the filler neck, so I could plainly see where I wanted to fill the level with coolant. I would fill it to just a little over the tops of the tubes because if I filled it more than that, it would all blow out...

    Roof trim on a 29 Tudor

    This is a question that I have not gotten many concrete answers on so I keep asking around. I have put new top material on the 29 Tudor and stretched it nice and tight. Next step is the front and rear trim and the rain drip rails (gutters) on the side. For the trim, I have new steel 2-piece...

    Not model A related (entirely) Kindig-it-Design

    I am on vacation visiting family in Salt Lake City. I have watched Bitchin' Rides occasionally on Motor Trend TV, and I did the one-hour tour of Kindig's shop today. Wow, it really must be nice to have all the tools and toys at your disposal. What a shop and wow, the work quality is superb...

    How embarrassing!

    I know I'm not the first.... I was on my way home from our monthly club meeting tonight when the darned thing just died on my way around a corner. Tried to pop the clutch while it was still moving and still no start. Hmm. Cranked and cranked, wiggled the key switch, and still nothing. Hmmm...

    Model A's in the movies

    What are good movies to see that feature our favorite car? Gangster movies? Other? I saw one last night that featured a computer animated sequence that was pretty well done as far as that scene. King Kong from 2005. The movie itself was not great, but the downtown New York scene with the...

    Give me a brake!

    Woo Hoo! It's been over a month and now I have some decent brakes. It was bad. Befoer, I felt like Fred Flintstone like I needed to take out the floor boards and use my feet to stop. I was shifting down and coasting to each stop sign just to avoid using them. Some shoes were not even...

    Brake life?

    How long (in terms of miles) should one expect new brakes with new woven/riveted pads + new cast iron drums to last? Also assuming correct installation and smoothing out the roller track, etc. Thanks,

    Fords and flood

    The town I live in, Walla Walla, WA had a big flood in 1931. I have gone through a web site and taken some of the photos of cars in the flood. Here are some of those photos. The web site is hosted by a local historian named Joe Drazan and that web site is...

    What is the purpose of armored ignition wire?

    First of all, my newly acquired 29 does not have an armored ignition cable. Wire goes right from the ignition switch to the distributor as a regular wire. Since the high-voltage secondary winding off the coil is what would cause radio interference and it is not shielded, and probably not...
