Wanted: original one piece running boards and splash apron for 1930 coupe.

I am starting a ground up restoration for my 30 coupe. After having the body media blasted I was surprised at all the damage that was Suddenly visible. There was the usual rust through, cracked fenders and miscellaneous dings etc. the big surprise though was a weld seam on both quarter...

I recently obtained a nice Autolite heater I am considering installing on my 30 coupe. It has an intake manifold attached but it does not have a port for a vacuum line. I have been told that a stock Ford intake manifold will not fit the Autolite exhaust manifold which requires a special intake...

I am looking for an original Ford taillight bracket for the right side for a 1930 coupe. The repros do not impress. I am willing to pay freight from a RHD country.

My 30 coupe will need patchwork at the usual locations prone to rust as well as sub rails for the rear of the car. I have read numerous comments about patch panels not fitting correctly and am wondering if some are better than others. I have not seen many comments on reproduction sub rails...

My 30 coupe was partially converted from a trunk to a rumble seat by a previous owner years ago. A new lid was installed but not the seat or the step plates. I am trying to restore the car and would like to convert it back to a trunk. The rumble lid has a repair to the inner panel at the...

I dont know much about repro hoods and I am trying to determine if I have bought one without realizing it. I recently acquired what I thought was a used original. After placing it on the car the top panels seem stiff and don"t conform to the firewall as well as the original. It seems to be...

Need hood for 30 coupe. Must be original (not repro) in good shape, panels straight, hinge eyelets in tact, no significant pitting

I ran across this picture on the internet. Is the color combination correct? Do they appear to be true Ford colors? Thanks

I need the top left (drivers side) hood panel for a 30 coupe. I believe all 30-31 hoods are the same. Two of the hinge eyes have completely separated from the hood. One is the small one closest to the cowl. The other is the next one in line. It's still on the hinge rod and I could possibly...

I recently acquired a 1930 radiator that looks to be in fairly good condition at least visually. I took it to a radiator shop to have it checked and to determine what else might need to be done. I was told that all that could be done would be some sort of flushing process - that boiling out a...

I have been told by DMV officials I will have to show proof of my VIN to transfer title. The motor was swapped out years ago so the numbers on it don't help. It looks like I'm going to have to raise the body and hopefully find a readable number on the frame. Unfortunately the garage roof does...

There are several holes in the firewall of my 30 coupe including the typical manifold heater hole. I do not have adequate bodyworking skills to do a good job so the work will have to be done by professionals. The firewall is otherwise straight and in good shape. I will be taking the body off...

I found this intake manifold in a box of old parts. It looks like a model A intake except the top is squared off. Can someone tell me what I have?

I am about to begin restoring the headlights on my 30 coupe. I have read posts recommending resilvering the original reflectors while I have been advised by others to use repros. I do plan to use halogen bulbs. Does a halogen bulb work OK with silvered reflectors? I'm wondering if the higher...

This is my first post. I am considering restoring my 30 coupe that was my daily driver back in high school and college. It's been sitting in a corner of the garage and sadly neglected for years but I couldn't bare to part with it so I just kept it even though it wasn't being driven. It's not...
