    I have been looking all over the internet and cannot find this to make new kick panels for my 1929 coupe. Is it even available? I also looked thru my parts catalogues.

    Electric wiper installation 29 coupe

    I'm installing my restored Heinz wiper and it seems to close to the windshield as the wiper blade binds up against the wiper housing. It seems like the wiper is sagging down. Also, in running the wiring I do not see a hole where the wiring can drop down and connect to the wiper connector. Thanks

    29 steering column support

    I saw on an earlier post the use of a modified 30-31 support on a 29 steering column. Any other ideas as to how to support the 29 column to keep it from cracking the solder on the lower support.

    Late 31 carb

    I have a 29 coupe with a late 31 carb on it. The gas line goes directly into the carb with no side bowl filter. I do have the glass sediment bowl on the firewall. This was the setup on the car when I bought it in 1959. Is there any advantage or disadvantage to this set up? Thx

    Original Firestone gum tires

    Is there a market for these? I have two that I pulled off of my 29 std coupe a few years back. They had actually come off of a homemade trailer some years before that. The tread is good and the red label is still there. They are 21 inch.

    Late 29 std coupe

    How many of you have a late 29 std coupe? I don't see any restored ones shown in the magazines after the meets and when I ask specific detail questions here on that model it is sometimes hard to get answers. I know it is the poor mans model and many were turned into hot rods but there have to be...

    Oil retainer tube

    Installed an oil retainer tube on my 2 sector steering box and when I reinstalled the light switch connector block the light switch was very touchy as well as the horn. Does this mean that it may be shorting out or not making a good connection? There is only one way that it can fit into the...

    2 tooth sector steering

    Notice it was low on oil last week so added some and it looks like most of it drained out!? It has been steering fine. Can I just replace the gasket behind the endplate and can it be done in the car? I only added enough so that I could see it about 3/4 on an inch below the plug? Used the 600...

    Shock fluid

    Just installing my rebuilt shocks. Had them rebuilt 2 yrs ago and they have been sitting in the box. I assume the fluid is still okay since they do not leak and have not had the plug off. The arms moved fine when I installed the links.

    I am installing my restored wiper and connecting to a 12V system. What is the best reducer to use from the vendors. I see there is a rectangular one and a circular one. Do I mount it up by the wiper or on the inside fire wall?
