    Remove Gauge Cluster from Dashboard on '39 Convertible

    I want to remove this gauge cluster from the dash board in order to install Runtz Resisters since I have 12 volt installed rather than 6 volt and my gauges do not work except for Temp gauge which is a mercury filled thermometer. Any help or advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Changing from Positive Ground to Negative Ground on 1939 Ford

    My 1939 Ford had already been converted to 12 Volts but it was left as a Positive Ground. Why is anybody's guess. The generator has been replaced with a rebuilt generator and she starts and runs just fine with no problems. This is a fairly simple process which I may have over...

    1939 Convertible Top Issue: Need advice

    The Top on my '39 Convertible is probably an aftermarket product as it is fairly good shape. The header bar is solid wood and will not go forward far enough to match up the indentation or groove in the bottom of the wood header with the raised ridge which it fits into on the windshield. It is...

    1939 Will Not Start

    Turns over fine but will not start. This after putting 1,100 miles on it since August 8, 2021 or 19 months. It quit once on me after turning a corner and I got a tow home. Tried it the next day and it started up with only 7 cylinders as I was testing for spark. That was about one month ago...

    Oil leak from Pan ONLY when running

    There is a cotter pin coming out of the very rear bottom of the oil pan that is bent so that it will not exit the hole but it does spin like a propeller. Had the oil changed today on a lift and my mechanic said it was dripping oil from that hole only when it was running. It is a 39 Ford Deluxe...

    Gauges about to fall out?????

    My gauges look to me that they are about to leave their assigned spot and end up on the deck. Any suggestions? None of them work except for the Temp gauge. That may be the only thing holding it in there!

    Bought a third brake light from Summit Racing, the kind that attaches to the license plate. Of course no instructions came with it, not even what the Red, White and Black wires are for. One connects to Brake Light, another connects to Turn Signal and the third is ?????? I have asked Summit...

    Key needed for 39 Ford

    I took my Ford to a locksmith and he had one of those little picks that criminals use to pick locks and he felt around in there and said that there were no "guts" inside the lock. I am wondering if I couldn't use a drill and drill out the steel plug that holds the lock cylinder in place like...

    Rear Shock and Anti-Sway Kit HR-18000-K&BD 1935-40 Car

    Bought this kit from Bob Drake and see no problem in connecting up the shocks themselves to the shock mounts on the wheels and the shock mount pegs on the Frame. That part looks relatively easy since I have already installed the shock mounts (Step-2-1 &2-2) on both wheels. All is left to do...

    UPDATE to my 1939Ford Accelerator Installation

    My rubber band idea failed so I then attempted to use wire instead. The first attempt with wire worked but then failed because the wire was too stiff but with smaller diameter wire it is working just fine. The accelerator pedal is a metal door hinge covered in plastic. The heat coming thru...

    My bench seat is caddywhampuss or crooked

    The bench seat with separate folding backs is not in a straight line from side to side in my convertible. Like this when I got it. The drivers side is pushed back a little further than the passenger's side by maybe 2 inches giving the driver slightly longer leg room than the passenger...
