I have a 1928 Special Coupe that has a T-handle (w/round stop/medallion) on the trunk. I've read on this site that this is correct for this year. However, I have never seen a new replacement like this for sale... just the single handle. But, on ebay, there are some T-handles that profess to be...

Hey Model A'ers, Is there any practical way to modify the seat on subject vehicle so it will go further back. Really don't care if its adjustable or not... however, a couple more inches would be rather helpful. Willing to modify riser, seat frame and package tray, as long I am not destroying...

I have some general question about the roadsters: . Did all of them just come with the rumble seat? . If so, can they be easily converted to a trunk? . Are the doors the same width as the coupes and do they offer the same amount of leg room? . If so, does the top consume the area...

Was a 1 ton model made in early 1928? If so, what is the difference between it and a 1 1/2 ton? Was it just dual wheels and heavier springs or what? I have tried to reference the 1928 AAs and just can't turn up that much. Also, would the clutch be multi-disc and would the 2-speed...

I have seven original shocks that I am trying to disassemble so I determine if they are good or not... or rebuildable. Unbelieveably, I have managed to get all the valves out by heating/quenching them with my small MAP torch. Since, I have had them soaking in acetone and ATF, etc. However, 4...

Although it may sound stupid to ask these questions but I'm going to let them fly anyway... When I turn the shaft on a good shock with my crescent wrench or such, how should it perform? How much pressure should it take to turn it? I don't need specifics for now, just something a country boy...

I have 3 of the 4 original shocks for my 28 coupe. According to the judging standards, they are all of the 2nd ones used from Feb 28 - July 28. They are the ones with the long pointer. The 3 are in very descent condition... I have cleaned them and one arm moves freely.. the other two are...

The curved panels above the doors of my 1928 Special Coupe has pitting and a couple of rusted through holes in it... on both sides, otherwise, they are quite sturdy. The curved panels above the quarter windows, although rusted, are still strong and can certainly be saved for many years to...

Been trying for a couple of hours to remove the driver's side door latch on my 28 coupe... I have removed all screws, etc. I just can't get the latch to come out of the door. The inside latch ear that the interior rod depresses against just won't slip out... its hanging on the edge of the...

Is the adhesive sent with my kit needed for the side felts or just for the top? Will the side felts stay in position without it? SALTMAN

Just tried to mount a new set of front bumper arms for my 28 Coupe. After installation, I discovered that the right arm is not only about 2 1/2" bent too far out but, the front holes are too small for the front clamps. I have measured the bend of the arm with regard to my frame, the bumper and...

I see NO way to get the door side window out of my 28 coupe just happens to be the passenger). I have removed the upper trim and sweep, regulator and all window felt channel. Nothing left but door and window with lower metal channel still attached (which does not seem to make any difference)...

:confused: How are the side windows removed from the stated car? I have the regulator out and also the window channel seals. It doesn't want to come out of the top or bottom. Do I need to remove the lower, metal glass channel? If so, where do I go from there? Which way does it come out...

Only after ruining a set of these bumpers, did I checkin in at Fordbarn to see if I could find some enlightening advice on how to install them. But, about all I found were the same problems that I have encountered. In my opinion, at this point, is that the things just don't fit as they...

I just received a vintage turn signal unit. And, after hooking it up, all can get is a dim glow from the lights and NO blinking. I removed the indicator bulb and its a GE #53 which, research indicates that it is a 12V bulb. Upon inspection, the power supply wire HAS to go thru this bulb to...

I have 16", 1935 spoked wheels on my '28 Coupe. They came with the car when I bought it. And although my initial intention was to replace them, after some time, I began to like them... and still do. BUT, now that I have got the car running so well and want to drive it more and more, I fear that...

Does anyone out there have any good pics of how the early accelerator spring should be mounted on the throttle control assembly? I am trying to mount the correct June 29 - April 29 type, according to the judging standards, on my Nov 28 Coupe. And, the spring that I got with it (although 'used'...

I have a seven tooth box on my '28 coupe. The steering has more than 5" of play in it. And although I am capable of driving it safely, just having to be minful of it and on top of it at all times is a bit of work and certainly tends to take the pleasure out of driving it. Considering this, I...

:confused: Having problems with my 'standard' light switch on my '28... Would someone please refresh my memory on what position the switch 'lever' should be in to perform the lighing function(s). Sounds dumb but please respond! Thanks Always... SALTMAN Since I purchased the new wiring harness...

* I have new plywood floors for my '28 Coupe and they fit great. I still have all the original boards and iron supports (although rotted and rusted). However, although I know I don't need the outer floor iron supports for the lower section, do I still need the inner irons to suppot the...
