First I would like to say I own a current copy of the Judging Guide as well as The Ed Francis/ Les Henry/ George DeAngelis book. I can’t find all the answers. This is my son’s car and he asked me to tear into it in my spare retiree time. I ended up stripping the chassis and removing the body. I...

If a Model A was produced with a side mount spare, would it have been shipped with a full rear bumper or the standard split bars? My car is a '31 SW Town Sedan and I was questioned about this. My Judging Standards are on my desk 16 miles away.

My enclosed trailer was stolen June 15 evening in the city of Livonia. I have clear video of the three people and their pickup. They managed to unlock and steal it in less than five minutes. I have provided a copy of the video to the police. The trailer was empty except for the ramps and...

It appears my '41 Sedan came to me with the wrong radiator. The cap is on the side and the overflow tube is in the middle of the tank. Other than the placement of the cap, are there other differences between the 40 & 41 radiators in terms of size or cooling capacity? The previous owner...

Hi, this is my first post on Early V8 and I hope this doesn't sound like a what kind of oil do I use in my Model A? question. As of this weekend, I am a proud V8 owner once again. I now own a '41 Super Deluxe Fordor. It runs but there's a few silly things like horn, gauges, and charging...

I got my new Stipe shocks yesterday and I invited my kid to my house for dinner so I could give him my old set of shocks and let him drool over the new ones. The used ones he's getting are 30+ year old reproductions that are oil filled and pre-date the M&S non-refillable ones. This is the...

We're sizing up my kid's 28 Sport Coupe. I have to rivet in a new subrail extension by the front floorboard and at the same time I am noticing one cowl side has extensive rust ranging from perforations to missing metal. So my question is Which way is better? Full cowl panel replacement or a...

Sorry, I don't have a camera today. Last night my friend and my kid showed up at my shop with the front half of a frame and a front axle. The axle is early, but it's been fiddled with over time. The frame half is what intrigues me. My friend purchased it for the early crossmember with...

This is in regards to my late '31 Murray bodied SW Town Sedan: If I read the JS correctly, my steel roof mouldings going around the back 3/4 perimeter of the roof material get painted black while the fold-over aluminum roof moulding over the windshield header gets painted Copra Drab (my upper...
