I am about to start on the upholstery for my early '31 roadster and am not sure exactly how the package tray should look when it is done. There were no original parts left to go by so if anyone has a picture of the back rest and package tray already upholstered it would be a great help. I hate...

'31 Roadster dash rail UPDATE I'm now getting down to interior components on my '31 roadster build and need to replace the old dash rail. My old one was largely built up with body filler some 30 years ago and now the filler is cracked and flaking and the underlying metal of the dash rail is...

I took the transmission out of the roadster over the weekend and when I removed the pressure plate and clutch I found that water had gotten into the clutch housing during the 25 plus years the car had sat in storage. Although the pressure plate is ruined and will need replacing along with the...
