    Suitcase full of tools

    My father left a suitcase at our family cottage marked "Model A Ford Parts & Tools". Along with a bunch of Front Brake actuator parts, these tools were in the case. I'm only "Les Andrews Handbook" tough when it comes to mechanics so I'm not sure what all these tools are. My sense would be that...

    Any advice on first Parade?

    So I am getting ready for my first parade this Saturday. Have the kids riding with me in the '29 Tudor. I'm a little nervous about clutching and braking uphill and downhill at 2-5mph for 1.5 miles. I have had the car for a year but have never driven it like this. Any advice from the seasoned...

    Looking for some recommendations on the best LED turn signal/brake light system to put on my 29 Tudor. I will not be using it as a daily driver, but plan on using it frequently. I would like a complete system that works off the +Gnd 6V if possible. Thanks to all and God Bless America!!

    Btt ??

    What the heck does "Btt" mean. I see it a lot in The Swap Meet and a few times in some threads. I feel like a fool, but just can't figure out what it means and I lost my acronym dictionary.

    Pain in the Rear Hub!

    Does anyone have a step-by-step on rear hub removal? Never done it before and I need to replace a stud. I have the hub remover and loosened the brake adjuster but the linings seem to be hanging up and I dont want to force anything. You folks have been a tremendous help throughout.

    Double clutching..lets hear about it

    I was just reading a thread from Banky, who is kinda new like me. I would love to hear about some technique on downshifting for next spring (she's hibernating) when I take the 29 Tudor back out. I tried 2ble clutching to downshift a couple times this summer, but my teeth made just as much...

    Does anyone know of a good tutorial that shows how to upholster the rear seat backrest in a 29 Tudor? I have done all the rest of the upholstery and its coming along rather nicely but the backrest is a little baffling. The instructions supplied by Lebaron Bonney are pretty vague.

    Top Trim Question?

    OK. Putting the new top on the 29 Tudor. I have just about everything prepped. I ordered the rain gutters from Snyders. Following directions, I put wax paper between the base and the gutter and snapped it together in order to bend it to the contour on the back. Slowly got a good match on the...
