I'm dealing with an issue with my 68-C where I'm in need of reliable comps and/or an estimate of the general value of 68-Cs these days. If anyone has that kind of information and would be willing to share it, I would be grateful. If you prefer to share it privately, that is fine and I...

Good afternoon everyone, This weekend a neighbor accidently backed her car through our garage door and hit my 68-C Cabriolet. The car is (or was) in beautiful condition. I've never had to worry about appraisals or involving insurance, or whether I need to get an estimate from a restorer...

Picked up a new gasket kit from snyders (http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/gasket-set-2006). Wondering whether the exhaust/intake manifold gasket needs silicone or is it ready to go just the way it is?

This is a complete shot in the dark, but I don't know of a better place to start looking. The car was purchased from a gentleman in Florida who had some connection with Callaway Gardens, I believe. My dad bought it in 1996 or 7 (I'm 90% sure it was 1997). The car is a yellow/brown/black '31...

This is a task I've never tackled before, but since the shoes are in good condition, I don't see any reason to completely replace them. What are some MUSTS when replacing woven brake linings? My research has turned up the following: punch out the old rivets, remove the linings, replace with...

While I've got the head off and the car in the middle of some repairs, I want to also give a really good degreasing to clean it up and also help to identify if/where there are any oil leaks. Questions are as follows: (1) What is a good general purpose degreaser? Most of the gunk seems to be...

The title may sound a bit weird - basically what I'm trying to learn is whether it's safe to use WD-40 in the heads/cylinders as a medium for breaking off and suspending stuck on funk in the cylinder heads so I can then suck it out with a vac. Whether it's very effective is not so much the...

I currently have a '31 Cabriolet with an original motor in excellent condition. It has been that way since I got it over a decade ago, and as such I have had very little experience with an engine rebuild, and I am absolutely not going to upset the apple cart by attempting to poke around in my...

So I am on the verge of completely replacing the wiring in our '31 Cabriolet (with cowls). I found a diagram with all of the wiring information (colors, etc) BUT no information on lengths. While I could pull out all the wiring and measure and order, that would mean a couple of weeks (at best)...

The link is to an image of a '30 with some sort of fuse on the starter motor. http://www.wallpaperup.com/141958/1930_Ford_Model-A_5-window_Coupe_45B_retro_engine_r.html My question is what does this fuse do? My hope is that it cuts out the starter in the event that the starter gets stuck...

The top on our '31 Cabriolet (68-C) has finally given up the ghost and will need replacing. I am wondering if anyone has or can direct me to the best place to find correct top materials? I will also be in need of a front cross member, or else information on what kind of wood was originally...

I'll see if I can describe "sticky ignition" the best I can. First off, car is a '31 Cabriolet all original engine, etc., etc., etc. Just so we're clear on what hardware we're working with here. When I depress the starter button on the floor the engine turns over fine enough. It may be...
