    Broken Manifold Bolt

    Now I'm in real trouble. Installing a new manifold gasket, I turned one of the brass nuts to remove and the stud twisted off about an eighth inch inside the block. Never a good thing but I thought I could center punch, drill and extract it. I had no luck with punching and good quality sharp new...

    Sedan Door Handles

    Good Morning to all. Calling on all the sedan door handle experts as this is a study for sure. I have a 1930 Murray Standard 3 Window and am thinking it should be with the thinner straighter pot metal solid type.

    Top Moulding

    Say, would anyone know what is the best top moulding trim to use around the vinal top of a 1930 Murray bodied sedan? All I see is what I got from Snyder's a few years ago which is aluminum with a split down the middle that you are to beat closed after nailing it down. It was a hard material that...
