Rebuilt my front end because it steered bad. Sort of a binding situation. New kingpins, one had been installed without reaming the bushings (hence the binding) all back together and worse than ever. Takes quite a bit of effort to turn the wheel. Checked to see if the weight of the car is on the...

In Vermont we have an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Well, I fixed it. The wiring in my 29 coupe looked tired and ratty. got a new harness from Snyder's and installed it. Horn won't stop blowing. Blows even louder when I jiggle the harness at the bottom of the steering column...

When I bought my 29 coupe I knew the seats would have to be replaced. Ratty looking, mouse infested, etc. WE took them out, removed all of the cloth and padding and recently set about redoing them.I watched several utube videos and thought I had a handle on the job. Wrong. Hognosed on the...

Working to reupholster the seat and seat back on my 29 coupe and wondering about the correct height for the front edge of the seat. Have put a new cover, padding etc on the springs and wooden frame and height is now roughly 7". I compressed the springs as best I could while putting on the...
