    Looking for 1951 shoebox vendors

    Hello! I’m looking for recommendations on what parts suppliers I should be shopping from and which to stay away from if any. I just took on a project for a relative and I’m not familiar with this model and its aftermarket support. I’m hoping to find a business in or close to Texas that I can...

    Ford tractor engine ?'s

    I found a '52 8N for sale. It looks pretty good but the owner says there's water in the oil. My question is I have a spare engine for my Tudor that's running pretty good, so could I swap my model A engine for the tractor engine? I read they are the same but will mine have all the same mounting...

    Finally posting pictures of my "Finished" Tudor

    I'd also like to give credit where credit is due. A fellow Barner I consider my Model A mentor Jay Pearcy. He has been a great friend and I love to pick his brain. Now he lives quite a distance from me and the Barn here is just a click away so tons of credit to you Barners as well. I know some...

    Pictures of my dash Hydro dipped in woodgrain

    I thought I'd share pictures of what a dash hydro dipped looks like for the folks that want woodgrain but are not sure how to paint it themselves. I was hoping for a more burgundy wood color but I think it came out great and I'm happy with it.

    Headlight/tail light problems

    I'm not getting any lights working front or back and I'm thinking it may be a ground issue due to the powder coated frame and freshly painted fenders and parts. So what's a good way to isolate the ground issue? I have power at the wires coming out the light switch housing and I'm grounding the...

    Tinted glass options

    I'm going to be ordering new glass pretty soon so I ordered tinted glass samples. Green,gray, and brown samples. I'm leaning towards non tinted or green tinted glass. My question is will the green tint reduce glares significantly over non tinted?

    Installing rear bumper brackets

    Can the rear bumper brackets be installed with the body on the frame? I will be mating the body and chassis together soon and can't remember if there's enough clearance to install bracket bolts to fasten it down with the body on. Thanks

    Ground ?'s for driving a rolling chassis

    Everything is pretty much ready to fire up on my rolling chassis. I need to drive it out of the garage so I can get the body painted. My question is does the terminal box need to be grounded? Right now the ignition coil, terminal box and instrument panel are mounted to a block of wood. I'm...

    2 questions on axle and king pin rod

    Is there a front or back to the front axle? My King pin locking key will only go in from the back but the nut is supposed to be on the backside. Second question. Looking from the front, is the King pin actuating rod supposed to be angled out when installed? I tightened the actuating wedge as...

    How common is glazing on non woven brake shoes?

    I recently sent out to have my shoes re-lined and i unexpectedly received the non woven type shoes. When I took the shoes to get arched the guy at the counter told me to expect the drum and shoe to glaze. Has anyone experienced this with this type of shoe ?

    Value of my possibly rare perches?

    I recently removed my front perches due to them not having a shock ball mount cast into them. Coincidentally while skimming thru the judging standards it says only the first 200 models came with these shock less type perches. So if they are somewhat rare, what would be a fair price to ask for these?

    Front spring decisions

    I'm not sure what's the best route to go here. When I removed my front spring I noticed it had 13 leaves. So assuming they added those extra 3 due to a sagging spring, I took my set to a shop to have them re-arched to factory specs. The guy called and said when he compressed the 10 together they...

    Are all 30-31 front fenders the same?

    I have 2 fenders that I've been doing the bodywork on and just realized the mounting flange that mates with the splash aprons are different. One is slim with no mounting holes drilled and the other has wider mounting flange with holes drilled for mounting to apron. I'm putting them on a 31 Tudor...

    Which bolts for Top Wood ?

    I'm installing my top wood kit and although there were no instructions on what bolts and screws goes where I pretty much figured out where almost all of them go. There are a few places I am still unsure of exactly which bolts goes where. Is there a illustration in a catalog or in one of the...
