I'm piecing together a '29 business coupe. It's all from parts, so i'm not overly concerned about it being totally right. I picked up a pair of super-clean doors. They appear to be original paint (tired, but still...? If i wipe thinner on them, they are a really dark blue, with a black beltline...

I'm slowly collecting parts. If i can find some springs, my car might roll. Shipping is no picnic, so i'm hoping to find some locally. Thanks

Very clean dash support. As pictured. I'll split the shipping.

These are really nice, apart from the fact they've been cut at the dash rail. I don't know what repair panels cost, but these would be great for fixing rot. We can split the shipping if you're not in the area. Near Pittsburgh.

I'm new to model T's. The motor i bought came mounted on a small wooden cart. I recently overhauled a model A engine, which i had hanging on one of those water-inlet brackets that Snyders sells. Is it safe to hang this T motor with the hogshead and everything together? It seems like a lot of...

Hi. I bought this car in pieces. It looks like i'm missing the 2-piece clamshell part that connects the torque tube to the u-joint housing. I have all the other parts. If you have a spare, let me know. Thanks

I'm working on my gearbox. It's almost together, but i'm not excited about the throwout bearing i got from snyders. It seems to have more play in it than the old one i removed. The Andrews book gives a Bower 2065 recommendation, which i can get on amazon. Is there a timkin or other brand that i...

Hi. I'm slowly assembling a business coupe from parts. Soon, i'll need to figure out the top. I have all the brackets (i believe) but no wood. The kits available are not currently in the budget. If any of you are working on something similar, and can post photos of what i'm missing, that would...

Hi. Yesterday, i opened up my transmission to check and clean everything, before putting it in the car. I'm new to these cars, and the one i'm working on is built from spares. For the most part, everything looks pretty good. The only damage, and i think it's significant, is on the center gear in...

Hopefully this will not cause a problem. I'm completely new to these cars. I have limited experience with model A's. Are there a couple books to get? With the model A, I bought the Andrews books. Is there something similar for T's that everyone buys?

Hi. So far, every attempt to drive out my spring perches has failed. I could actually build up a new front end, if I could find another wishbone. Loose, with a good ball please. Thanks very much.

Hi. I have a 2-tooth steering box with a damaged steering shaft. There are no threads above the steering wheel taper. Can I use the inner column from a 7-tooth box to replace mine? I'm guessing the worm is a separate part, pressed on. I've searched a bunch of parts catalogs, and can't figure out...

Hi. I'm piecing together a '29 sport coupe. This has never been a complete car. This is also my first model A. I have the Andrews books, but can't find an answer to this question. The subrail extensions look like they should overlap the body subrails, judging by the corresponding carriage bolt...

Pair of workable doors. Just the shells, no glass or latches. Includes a pair of caps and 1 garnish. If another turns up, I'll throw that in. One is a little crusty around the window frame, but they pretty straight. Both will need some attention on the lower skin, but the bottoms are solid. One...

Hi. I've searched here, and asked a bunch of Ford guys about this. There are two camps, evenly split. Is this bracket (shown in photo) always in the same location? 28/29 vs 30/31 It's the mounting point for the cowl. I have a frame ('30) and a coupe body ('29) that I'm working with. If the...

Hi. I'd like to find a good, original tie rod. I have ends. Mine looks to have been bent, straightened, and then cracked and welded. If you have something better, please let me know. Thanks

Hi. I'm totally new to Model T's. I've recently picked up some stray chassis parts for a model T. I've got a nice front axle, with spring perches and a wishbone. (The type that mounts underneath, on the perch bolts) I understand the later spindles are lower. If I can find enough parts, it'll be...

So, I'm new to Model A's. I bought an A motor at a yard sale 15 months ago. I met a bunch of local guys, bought lots of spare parts, and I'm building a car. I'm not an expert, but I've managed to learn enough about A's to pull it off (I think...) Saturday, an inexpensive T motor showed up on...

I'm piecing together a sport coupe. My subrails were torch cut in the front, so I need to make some repairs. If you have one of these cars, can you measure the door opening? Distance between the A and B pillars. At the sill, and maybe at the latch? Thanks

Hi. I'm slowly reviving a '29 business coupe. While prepping the frame for paint, I noticed that both the front and rear crossmembers are bolted in. They're not new, but they have been swapped. I could replace them with grade 8's, or maybe figure out rivets. I don't need it to be perfectly...
