I have a crack in the left front fender of my 1930 Model A coupe. I considered repairing the crack, but obviously there has been some rather extensive repair work already done previously to this part. Now I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a brand new steel fender, I will not...

I noticed a small crack in the front edge of the driver side Fender beginning in the front of my left front fender on my 1930 Model A. The crack is mostly in the bead at the front of the fender in the middle of the “eyebrow“. The crack has resulted in the arch of the fender “peaking” like a...

I have a 1932 hood on my 1930 Coupe. The rear hood retainer is supposed to be held in place with 10-32x 1.5" screws. The holes are there in the cowl cover and fire wall but there are no nuts anywhere underneath to tighten the screws so the screws just hang there loose and only prevent the...

I noticed that the passenger side front bumper brace on my 1930 coupe appears bent bringing that side of the bumper 2” closer to the front tire than the driver’s side. I assume that is not normal. Has anyone straightened out one of these braces? If so, how? The brace just appears to be curved...

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to minimize or prevent paint "stars" caused by stones being cast off tires onto the underside of the fenders. I thought about spray-on rubberized undercoating. I thought perhaps a 1/4 inch thick coating of that stuff might work (kidding)...

I need to remove the window regulator on the driver side of my 1930 Coupe with three screw mounting. The window glass drops an inch or so when rolled up completely. Seems like the regulator may need new springs. Otherwise it raises and lowers properly. I already have the trim panel removed...
