I'm still looking for a decent ORIGINAL set of chrome garnish moldings for my 1940 Ford 2-door sedan. Yes, I could get mine chromed, but I'm hoping to find an old set that isn't perfect. I need everything (windshield, doors, quarter windows and rear) so hopefully someone has a set stashed...

I''d like to find a decent, working Southwind heater for my 40 Ford Tudor. I know they made a model that has stainless trim down the center that resembles the hood ornament on a 40 Ford.....I'm not sure exactly what model heater that is (781?) but that's the one I'd like to find. There was a...

I'm installing new pistons in my model B engine and am wondering if there is a brand that is higher quality that I should purchase? I've heard that some manufacturers have gone to lower quality materials and outsourced to India but I dont know which. If anyone has a suggestion I'd appreciate...

My 1940 Tudor is a blast to drive, but the brakes are driving me crazy. The brakes are great....as long as you pump the pedal 1 time. The first press of the pedal is soft, but the second and every consecutive pump after that is rock solid. Everything is new including master cylinder, wheel...

I'm restoring my 1934 commercial headlights and have a problem. The spring clip on one of the main bulb sockets popped off and I can not get it reattached. The fiber board in the socket is old (obviously) and it no longer retains the spring clip when you push it into the reflector. After some...

I'm getting new upholstery in a couple weeks and would like to put an armrest on my passenger door. Anyone have a front passenger armrest they aren't using? I need to match my driver's door so if you have a pair I'd consider buying both just to make sure. Thanks Aaron

I've got a flathead Ford engine that is taking up space and I'd like to sell. It is an 8BA block (I think....doesn't have the "usual" markings) and is in VERY good shape. The pistons are STD and I don't feel a ridge at the top of the cylinders. The main and rod bearings are also standard size...

I'd like to find a 1930 or 31 roadster to work on. I'm hoping to find a mostly complete car that doesn't run. My budget isn't huge so I know I can't afford a restored car, but I hoping I can find a decent complete car that is in need of some (or a lot of) work. Closer to the Pacific Northwest...

My 31 has difficulty starting when it gets cold so I started looking around to see if there is anything I can do. I still run the 6v system, but I have upgraded to a Pertronix in a vintage Mallory Dual-Point distributor. After some research I've come to the conclusion that an 8v battery is the...

I have a nice 8BA block that a gentleman is looking to purchase and I'm trying to figure out what size the main and rod bearings are. I would rather not completely tear the engine down (it is currently a short block) so I pulled the front main cap and #2 rod cap. Both bearing surfaces look good...

Complete rearend with brakes out of a 1942-46 1/2 ton pickup. I haven't taken it apart but it turns smooth and is complete. I have two of these open drive banjos and don't need both. Asking $350 obo. I can pull apart and inspect if interested.

These came on my 40 Tudor and are basically new. They have less than 50 miles on them and in fact still have most of the casting "nubs" on the tread surface. I am going with 7.50x16s so I do not need these. They are Firestone nonscript 3" white wall bias ply tires from Coker. Asking $300 for the...

SOLD...... I have had this distributor for 15 years with plans of building a flathead engine, but when I built my engine I chose an early crab-style distributor and now don't have a use for this. It's in very good original condition with the rare bakelite cap. There is no damage to the cap...

I'm installing the new glass in my 1940 Tudor and would like to apply a fresh dab of grease to the regulators and tracks. I have always wondered what the "dry" grease is that manufacturers apply to parts like this. It doesn't smell, doesn't melt in the heat, and maintains consistency for...

Apparently the only way to get a new rubber gasket for the roof mount factory radio antenna on my 1940 sedan deluxe is to buy the entire radio antenna unit. I guess you pay $80 for the gasket and get the antenna assembly for free?? Anyway, all I need is the gasket. Any chance someone has one...

I would like to find a usable stock choke rod for my 1940 Ford Deluxe. I have the knob....I just need the rod. I know I can buy new but it appears to only come as a pair (throttle and choke) and I do not need the throttle. I guess if someone needs a throttle rod and not a choke rod we could...

I'm about to get my 40 sedan on the road and I've been staring at that hole in the center of the firewall trying to figure out what to do. Yeah, it would be easy to make a little plate that blocks it off, but that just seems too easy....not to mention the fact that its nearly impossible to find...

I would like to find a firewall wire harness cover for my 1940 Ford sedan. Its the triangular cover that screws/bolts to the firewall right above the steering column to cover the wiring harness junction where it splits 2 ways. If someone knows of a place that reproduces them that would be fine...

I'd like to find chrome garnish moldings for my 1940 Ford Tudor. Perfection isn't required, and actually I'd prefer older ones that aren't perfect. I've got nice original moldings to trade.....just in case have a set of shiny chrome ones that are hurting your eyes.

I'm wondering if anyone would happen to know if stock throttle and choke rods will work with a dual carb intake? My sedan has an Edmunds dual carb intake with the generator in the stock location, so I'm assuming the forward carb is basically the same location as the stock single carb. My car...
