Currently working on a 1930 Tudor. What is used in the two holes circled in the photo? The driver's side has a material in those holes, but I can't determine what it is.

I'm currently working on a pair of front seats for a 1930 Tudor. It's obvious the seats have been either reupholstered or repaired in the past 96 years, due to finding staples and two different sizes of finishing nails, along with more tacks than necessary anchoring the fabric. On both bottom...

I'm finally getting some time to install the top wood in my 30 Tudor. In Les Andrews book on page 3-61 he lists a #10 lock washer used for the bow support rail, but on page 3-79 he states to install with 1/4 flat washer. Which is it?

If you stream your TV programs and use Pluto the Henry Ford biography is on with interesting footage.

While looking through the local Craigslist want ads I ran across an ad from a man looking for his dad's 30 Model A Tudor. Car was sold by a family member without his knowledge two years ago and he would like to locate it. Car was sold in Racine WI and is believed to have been purchased by...

Can anyone id these shocks and tell me what car they would be for? A Google search for Houdaille shocks showed the body style, but I haven't found any photos that match the levers with multiple bends. The set on the right appear to be a left and right and the other set I believe are both rights...

With any luck I will soon be installing a new roof and upholstery kit in my 30 Tudor. I would like to purchase a pneumatic staple gun and looking for some advice, such as crown width, staple length range, staple gauge, etc. Although I'm not working on an unlimited budget, I'm not trying to go...

I currently have the gas tank on my 30 Tudor empty to replace the gas gauge float and install a filter on the shut off valve. Since it won't be driven anymore this year, would it be better to leave the tank empty until next spring or replace the gauge and install the filter and top off the tank?

I did a search about fuel valves and found a lot of posts about rebuilding or alternative valves, but not about installing them. My questions is should some type of sealant be used on the threads that screw into the bottom of the tank? Thanks

I've recently received The Tudor Book from M.A.F.C.A., which I am thoroughly enjoying. According to a chart in the book, a 1930 Standard Tudor with brown check upholstery should have light buff colored garnish mouldings. With all of the cars I've seen at shows or in magazines, I don't recall...

I purchased the hardware necessary to replace the top wood in my 1930 Tudor per the list on page 3-61 of Les Andrew's Vol II book. For the bow support rails the list shows the following: 10-32 x 1 1/2 Machine Screw #10 Lock Washer 10-32 Nut On page 3-79, the instructions mention using a 1/4...

I have been unable to get the rear support wood behind the brackets in each corner. The fit across the back is great and follows the contours of the roof opening. In looking at the original piece of wood I can see the wood is indented or recessed a slight amount in the area of the bracket...

While replacing the rear header on my 1930 Tudor, the right side corner bracket that attaches to the rear roof panel came off. It was held to the roof panel by one rivet that appears to have the "waffle" pattern on the end. Considering the small amount of room, how was this rivet set? Since...

Since it's not practical to work in the garage now, I decided to bring one of the front seats from my 1930 Tudor in to remove the old upholstery and get everything prepared to install the new. When I removed the old covering I found the bottom cushion springs were covered in a wire mesh...

I'm getting ready to place an order which includes a head nut torque wrench adapter and was wondering if there is any difference in the ones sold by the various vendors.

The turnout was great and the weather was beautiful. Here's some of the photos I took. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjzRHNny

I usually don't order catalogs and just look online for things, but recently decided to get a Snyder's catalog because I've never had one before. I see they're offering pre-bent rain gutters for a Tudor which I haven't seen before. Has anyone tried these yet? I've read enough posts describing...

I'm considering joining MARC or MAFCA. I say "or" because there is only so much money to go around for things like membership dues, and already belonging to several different organizations, the dues start to add up. Is there a benefit to belonging to one over the other? If anyone cares to...
