Hi all, My uncle passed away and left behind a 32 Ford Cabriolet, that he had with a gentleman doing some work on it. The gentleman had some medical problems, so I picked the car up from him to see if I could finish it myself. Disclaimer, I know very little about what’s been done to the car...

Hi All, I recently inherited a '32 Cabriolet with its original flathead V8 from my Uncle, who had been having various kinds of work done on the car over the years. It's not entirely clear what's been done, as this has been going on for a long time and it's gone through several people working...

Looking for an ignition cylinder and key for a 1940 Ford Convertible. Original or reproduction, doesn't matter, as long as it works.

Hi All, My uncle recently passed away, and his estate included a 1940 Ford convertible. We weren't able to find the key to the car and needed to move it, so I pulled the ignition cylinder out. In the chaos of getting the estate settled, I lost the cylinder. I've looked all over online and...

Hi All, I'm working on getting my '47 Ford going after it's been sitting for a long time. Part of that is going to be installing a new battery. It previously had a 6v Optima red top, which worked fine, but the prices of these batteries is surprising me. Are there any other options you...

Hi All, I'm hoping you can help me figure this out on short notice. My father passed away this past Sunday. He was a Ford guy his whole life, and is the reason I love old cars. We even worked together for a few years, buying/repairing/selling old cars, mostly Fords from the teens to the...

Hi all, I recently took a tour of a company here in Chicago that has a 3-D printing division. They're able to do a lot with 3-D printing these days, especially with more rigid, steel-like materials. Nothing that could support suspension or drivetrain, but door handles, latches, etc. I had...

Hi All, I've got an engine that looks to have come out of a '31 AA. There's a second number stamped upside-down on the pad: 21130. I've never seen this before, can anyone shed some light? The engine number decodes to a late 1931, so it would surprise me if that second number was a 1930...

Hi all, Can anyone direct me to a good source for a carpet set for a 34 Ford 5-window coupe? On a related note, I've found sets for the 3-window coupe under the hot rod sections on some sites, anyone know for sure if those will work on the 5-window? Thanks, Nick

Hi all, I just put a brand new clutch, pressure plate, TO bearing, and pilot bearing in my '39 ford (it has a 49 flathead so I used the truck clutch). Started the engine up and pressed in the clutch pedal, and there's a really bad screech coming from the trans. I pulled the plate off to look...

Hi all, Starting in again on an old project - 1941 Ford 2dr Sedan mild custom. I'd heard that the 46-48 dash is pretty much a drop-in on the 41. Can I use any dash out of those years? I saw one on eBay that was described as fitting a convertible or wagon, are those different? My thinking...

Specifically for the 49-53 V8. The Dennis Carpenter kit seems to be priced well, but I think I've bought that kit for other projects and been disappointed by the quality of some of the gaskets. Is there one place that has a full set that's good quality? Thanks, Nick

Hi all, I just picked up a 1939 Ford Convertible Coupe that needs a paint job. I'd like to get it done in Jefferson Blue. Does anyone have a modern paint code I can give my painter so he can mix the correct color? Here's the car. Builder did a really nice job on everything but the paint -...

Hi all, Helping my father out with his '54 Merc. Mechanical fuel pump had been bypassed by a previous owner, and an electronic had been put in pretty ugly. I pulled the bad pump, which had a cracked actuator arm. Ordered a new one from Kanter but got a completely different pump (picture...

Hi all, I have an opportunity to buy a Columbia rear end from a gentleman in my area who is clearing out his garage. I didn't remember to ask what year it's from, but it's complete and includes the controls. He says it's been bullet-proofed. Can anyone tell me what to look for when...

Hi all, Just got our '29 Roadster Pickup running after a complete engine rebuild. Runs great, but when I try to put her into gear, it grinds like the clutch isn't engaged. I put in a new clutch when I did the engine work, but I'm not sure how to adjust the pedal. I see how to do the...
