I thought I saw somewhere a place where you could buy ford colors in a rattle can. Went through Synder's and Mac's but didn't see it. Anyone know where to buy it ? Also where to find a good color chip guide so as to get the right color for my 1929 coupe. It's a dark green. Thanks !

I have a 1929 Coupe that I am thinking of converting to a Victoria, Phantom or Roadster with a body swap. If I do find a body for a reasonable price, could I use my existing cowl, gas tank, windshield assembly and just attach the balance of the body? If so, does anyone know of one for sale ...

Wow , What a long, cold, hard winter. Time to start working on the old 1929 "A" again. First up is a new water pump. Bought the Leakless A-8503-A from Synder's and I have a few questions. I think the radiator is gunked up pretty good so I'll want to clean it out before I install the new...

Well, winter is here and its time to start a few restoration projects. First I'm going to attack the windshield. I did manage to get it off my 1929 coupe but I'm having a very hard time getting the old glass out. I cant even get the frame apart, as the horizontal screws at the top (2 per...

Well it looks as though I'll be needing a few good videos/U tube for clutch replacement and Trans. rebuild on my '29 Coupe. Suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks

Looking for some hints as to why my 29 Coupe has a bad 2nd gear whine. First gear is a little noisy and third gear settles right down with very little noise if any at all. 2nd gear is worse when you back off the gas. I'm thinking its just a bad gear in the trans. but I'd like to rule out any...

At the risk of sounding like a cheap skate, I was wondering if anyone knows of or has themselves reproduced the corner pieces of the Model A tack rail wood set ? Both suppliers sell the five pc kit but wow its 264 dollars. Seems like a good wood worker could make those corners. Obviously I...

Please excuse my ignorance (new to Model A's) but I'd like to know what the choke rod rotation feature is all about. Does this change the rich mixture setting ? My car started running a little rough, so just for grins I rotated the knob from the 9 o'clock position to the 6 o'chock position and...

Got a new Air Maze for my '29 Coupe, as the barn find came with no air cleaner. Wondering what to oil the screen with. Was thinking just to use 30wt. motor oil. Would that work OK ? Thanks in advance !

On my barn find 1929 coupe, the water pump makes a load knocking sound and the shaft moves in and out (about 1/2 inch) as this sound happens. Amazing is that it doesn't leak. I was thinking on just buying a new "leakless" one but I'd rather not spending the buck and a quarter if I don't have...

Have nice Firewall with attached Cowl Panels in great shape ( no rust or holes) for 1929 Coupe (may fit others). Also fitted with subrail extensions (need some work).. $250 Call Dennis in Michigan 248-230-0554

Trying find out the original color of my 1929 Coupe. The "VIN" number is A548085. The dash panel and door inners are a sea green type color. Indications the Trans. bell housing was the same color. However, the motor side of firewall is a navy blue like color. No help with the body. It...

Wanted a good used 21 inch tire I could use for a spare for my 29 Coupe. Any good usable condition OK. Just looking for something reasonable Contact Dennis 248-230-0554. Thanks

My 1929 coupe top is a train wreck. A loose creaky hodge podge of sheet metal, wood and nails. I plan to do a backyard repair and I was wondering if anyone knew of a body filler that when cured was flexible and could be "finished". ( hard bondo type filler would probably crack when I hit the...

My barn find 1929 Coupe has a strange issue. The amp meter seems to run "backward". With engine off, and key off, if you pull the lights on, it reads +10 amps. Engine running reads -5 to -10 amps. The gauge looks like a new replacement, so my guess is someone put it in backwards or set it...

My old barn find 1929 coupe probably needs rear end fluid. Could I use the 85 - 140 wt. I have laying around or do I need some thing special. Am I to understand the same stuff goes in the transmission ? Also I'm going to be replacing the water pump with the more expensive non-lub model...

Was checking out my new purchase 1929 coupe and found several problems. Jacked up the rear end and ran the car in gear to check thinks out and found the L.R. brake drum is rubbing into the brake shield to the point where part of the brake shield is actually worn away. Thought some thing was...
