Looking for a source of hardened axle nuts for a 1940 rear axle. I was installing the rear driver's side hub when I went to torque the axle nut to 200 ft/lbs. the nut stripped. I only got to 175 ft/lbs when the nut began to turn. These are brand new nuts from one of the vendors many of us use...

Hi, I've got a question about my 40 ford rear axle assembly. It has a bar connected to a bracket welded to the passenger axle housing. Am I correct in assuming that it is a form of panhard bar?

Is Howells the only supplier of 30-31 full size coupe door skins? If anyone has used one supplied by Howells did it have the proper bead width at the bottom and was it contoured to fit? I know that most panels need some tweaking to fit but I don't have an English wheel and would like the panel...

Does anyone know if any of the vendors sell a Coupe rear lower trunk panel with the correct arch built in? I've looked for an original but so far no luck. On a 30-31 coupe this panel is taller in the middle by about a 1/4" compared to the ends. I believe most of the reproduction panels are...
