I have a 28 special coupe that I painted several years ago. I store it in a garage with several flannel sheets over the car. Anyway, a squirrel got into the garage and tried to climb up on the car via the flannel sheet on the front fender. The sharp claws on the squirrel made s couple fine...

I know I have some rust and rust particles in the gas tank of my 29 phaeton. I bought a "cleanable" fuel filter shown in the attached picture I want to install. I am temporarily using gasoline resistant rubber hose in place of the steel or copper line from the sediment bowl to the carb. The...

I want to confirm the size and length of the screws used on the rear window frame of open vehicles - namely a 1929 phaeton. I believe they are 5-40 3/8" long. If the screws are too long, they could damage the other side of the frame. If someone could confirm the size or correct me, I...

I am trying to complete the restoration of a 7 tooth steering column. I am using a 7 tooth steering shaft with a retainer tube attached. As I screwed the retainer tube in, it seemed to not bottom out. The threads on the bearing assembly (plug) started to show. Can someone tell me if the...

I have several gas valves that I would like to test before I install one of them on the gas tank of the car I am restoring. I have tried to use low pressure air (maybe 4 or 5 lbs) with a coupling I made that attaches to the gas tank side of the valve. I put the valve with the air hose attached...

I am restoring a 29 CCPU cab. The passenger side door fits pretty well. However the drivers side door has a large gap between the body and the door lip (flange) - nearly a 1/2" in the lower portion of the door. I don't know if the door can be twisted a little to align it better. Has...

I know I have some rust particles in the gas tank of my 29 phaeton that I am restoring. I am thinking about installing an inline gas filter between the sediment bowl and the carburetor. Has anyone had good luck doing this and are there any drawbacks doing this? Rusty Nelson

This may have been covered before, but I don't know. The gas tank in the car I am restoring, a 29 phaeton, has been empty for a long time. The gas tank is in the car and painted. When I removed the shutoff valve on the bottom of the tank, there was some rust dust on the top of the valve that...

I beadblasted the parts for the radius wishbone ball retainer cups. Should they be painted black or left unpainted. It seems like they should be painted to prevent rusting. Rusty Nelson

I am getting ready to install the radiator splash apron on my car. I checked Mick Isbell's Std Hwd booklet and it says the screws have a French head. I don't know what a French head is. I though the screws were oval head and nickel plated. Can some one enlighten me to what the difference...

I have several nickel plated items like instrument panels and gear shift levers used on 28/29 vehicles. Currently they are bright nickel finished. I would like to give the parts a "brushed" finish like original. I sure don't want to ruin them attempting to "brush" finish them in a clueless...

For sale, Snyder’s reproduction 28-29 coupe backrest springs. The springs have never been used. I decided, being, 6’ 4” tall, I needed more leg room, so I bought a set of spring from Snyder’s (they make all replacement springs) that were 2” thinner for my 28 coupe. The springs are standard...

I have a question about open vehicle seat cushions. Why do the cushions have a "dip" about a third of the way back from the front? Closed car don't have this "dip". Is it somehow to divert water off the cushion. I don't see how that would work very well. I am attaching a picture of an...
