I have a 39 Standard Sedan Delivery that I've had for 20 years but never completed. I have a Maryland title in my name but I've since moved to PA. As I build the car I decided to get a PA title. However, PA doesn't recognize my MD title and they want to see the serial number on the frame...

I'm looking for a picture of where/how the inner fenders are bolted to the frame of a 38 Deluxe/39 Standard. I've had this 39 Sedan delivery for 20 years and I'm finally starting to put it together. Thanks, Bob

A friend showed me a box containing boxes of Piston Expanders for early Fords. The different boxes were for 1940's 6 cylinders; V8 60's and 85 HP engines. I've never seen these before but suspect that they fit over the piston wrist pins to"cure" wrist pin slap. A search here didn't turn up any...

I'm helping a friend rewire portions of his 39 Deluxe Sedan. He bought a NOS 91A-14401 harness but the diagram was not included. Does anyone have a copy of the harness diagram that they could post or PM me? His old harness was a combination of frayed original and after market jungle of wires...

I was putting the 4 piece hood on my 35 today and found these in the bag titled hood parts. I probably put them in the bag in the late 90's and don't remember where they go. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks, Bob

My 35 Fordor has an aftermarket frame. I'd like to punch the production number into the frame. Does anyone know what size the number punch should be? Thanks, Bob

Is there a rubber seal for the rear window of a 35 Fordor? Or do I just put rubber U channel around the glass and hold it in place with the inside molding? Thanks, Bob

The quarter windows on the 35 Fordor slide back a few inches. I haven't been able to find rubber seals for mine. I bought 1936 quarter windows that pivot but I'd really like to keep the stock sliding mechanism. I've thought about using the 36 rubber but I'd have to cut a slot in it for the...

I just noticed that the Shoebox Ford site is gone. That's too bad since there was a lot of good info on there for shoebox owners. I'm also surprised that the site stayed available for so long after Chris left.

When I wind the window regulator for the drivers door of my 1935 Fordor down, it, skips and then the crank wants to unwind. It looks like I need to buy a window regulator repair kit but I'm concerned about the 3 rivets that hold the regulator in place. If I drill out the rivets and...

Today I decided to put the new glass in the rear doors of my 35 fordor only to see that it's not going to be as easy as I hoped. The doors have new felt channels. I tried putting the glass in the door but because of the shape of the door, I couldn't get the glass horizontal. The only thing...

I'm putting my windows in my 35 Fordor and was confused as to the location to install the window regulator stud. I ran a search and found a picture that showed exactly where its mounted (Below). The question I have is that the mounting hole on the repo glass channel is much smaller than the...

I have a 35 Fordor Humpback and am missing part of the trunk lid support. The piece that mounts to the lid is there but the piece that mounts to the body has been broken. Can someone take a picture of the complete support assembly and measure the length of the piece that I'm missing? Thanks, Bob

Not sure what I was thinking. Was not a problem.

After 10 years, I'm finally putting my 35 Fordor back together. Today I installed the window mechanisms and door latches. In the bottom of my parts box were 2 thin rods and 2 brackets with springs. Picture below. I can't remember where these go or what they're for. I suspect that they work...

My 49 Coupe had the wrong seats when i bought the car. They were just sitting in the car. I have the front seat from a 2 door and the matching rear seat cushion but not the rear seat backrest. The problem is that I don't know what car they fit. Last year I asked if anyone on the barn...

I've been trying to upholster the seats of my 1935 Fordor. The kit came from Cartouche and it seems to be a very nice quality. This is my first attempt at upholstery and that may be my problem. The rear seats and the front seat cushion went together very well. My issue is the front seat...

While attempting to install new upholstery in my 35 Fordor, I noticed that the seat adjusting rods were missing. I ran a search on the barn and found that one of the members recommended using 3/16 steel rod. I picked two up yesterday and started to measure for the correct length and when...

I received my trunk panel kit today from MACs. The generic instructions are for 1932-48 and show that there are 3 or 4 panels. Well, I received 5 panels. I guess more is better. I think that I've figured out where they go but it looks like one panel covers the floor and has a flexible strip...
