I have been under the hood so much lately on my 46 business coupe that I havn't had a need to go in the trunk. Well I finally got it running good enough to take it to car nite. I tried to open the trunk to check on my folding chair supply and it wouldn't open Anyone have any suggestions? the...

I would love to have a touch more leg room in my 29 roadster. Is it a big project to move the seat frame and riser back a couple of inches? I see machine screws around the base of the seat frame, is that all that is holding it in place, or is it spot welded also? I am sure that thus has been...

My 46 ford flathead v8 has a faint misfire at 40 to 50 miles an hour obviously this is at a very low throttle setting. The misfire goes away if I pull the choke out about one third. My motor is quite sound, has a Bubba's distributor, a Charlie NY carburetor and fuel pump, fresh plugs and wires...

I recently put a new aluminum radiator in my 46 coupe. I had been driving it with this radiator for the last five years. Unfortunately it was starting to get a little green around the top tank. The core looks pretty decent and doesn't look like it has tangoed with the fan like a lot I have seen...

The speedometer in my 46 started howling today. Is there an easy shot of lubricant fix up, or do I have to climb under there and take it out and send it off? Thanks guys. Rich

I am looking for a nice 30-31 cowl, would prefer one with windshield posts. Tank is not needed as I already have one. I bought a running chassis that came out from under a hot rod project, and want to turn it into farm truck of sorts. Thanks Rich

My 29 pickup didn't have a visor on it when I got it. It did have a repop frame and a slab of vinyl that matched the top. There are instructions that tell you to slather the vinyl up with contact cement and wrap it around the visor frame. My question, is that the way Henry did it? I want to be...

Is there a way to make a stock model A speedometer work with an s- 10, 5 speed transmission? Thanks Rich

I need a pair of fender skirts for my 46 business coupe. They don't have to be old and expensive, just something that fits. I have looked on line and see some that fit just about anything with four wheels on it, I don't think that is what I am looking for. Let me know what you have, Thanks Rich

I am looking for a halibrand V8 center section. I would prefer a used up or broken one as it will become a wall hanger. Someone must have one they need a new home for! Thanks Rich

There is a supposed 32 ford for sale on craigslist that the seller says is a factory built early 32 with a model A body. He says that ford did not have the 32 bodies ready in time, so early 32's were built with A bodies. I never heard that story. The car is on Treasure Coast Florida Craigslist...

Looking for a somewhat decent used 30-31 radiator. If it were somewhere close, that would be great. If it were far away, packaging would be crucial. Let me know what you have. Thanks Rich

I am looking for a ford rear end. I guess I could use anything from 37 to 41. I don't want something that has been out in the weather for the last 25 years with the torque tube pointing up. I am willing to drive a few hundred miles for a decent usable one. Let me know what you have, Thanks Rich

What is the best source for a new/rebuilt fuel pump, or possibly a good quality rebuild kit for mine. I drive my 46 quite a bit and find, as others have that a lot of the parts from our suppliers keep us running, but not for any real length of time! Thanks Rich

The first shot of this Model A was from a 1947 issue of Field and Stream, The second shot was taken in my driveway a couple of months ago. That is the famous Boo Lowery behind the wheel. Boo was at one time a big name on the silver screen being best known for his starring role in the Hollywood...

I just gave my 46 some ignition love. New wires, cap, rotor, resistor, and best of all a newly rebuilt distributor from Bubba's. My car runs the best that it ever has. Only problem is that it wont start when hot, did this before. lights right off after it cools down a bit. It has an original...

I recently installed an electric fuel pump in my 46, I wired it to a momentary toggle switch to be used as a primer or to overcome a vapor lock situation which is a frequent occurrence in this Florida heat. My car now runs too lean unless I run the fuel elec. pump thru the mechanical pump. If I...

I know this question has been up here before, but I just installed an electric fuel pump on my 46, I have it wired to a momentary toggle switch so I can use it as a prime pump or to overcome occasional vapor lock in the Florida heat. My car runs very lean thru the pump, much better with it...

I am treating my 46 to a new set of wires ,coil, cap and rotor etc. Mac's didn't have any condensers. Are 6 and 12 volt condensers different or they interchangeable? I have a handful of new condensers that someone gave me, I have no idea what they are for, or whether they are 6 or 12 volt. Do...

My 46 super deluxe business coupe is in need of some nicer quality exterior window trim. I also am looking for the stainless trim for the rear window. Thanks Rich
