    Tudor rear side window molding

    I want to take the molding off the rear side windows on my 29 Tudor to paint them. I removed the screws and took off the bottom piece, but can't figure out how the sides and top are mounted. They are firmly attached and I figure brute force will just ruin them. Is there a clip behind them...

    Electrical/Ground - Solved

    First of all, thanks for all the help and suggestions. The problem turned out to be in the cut off switch I have on the cable to the starter. Originally when I cleaned the ends I didn't think to disassemble the switch to clean the inside and the screw that cuts off the voltage. I did that...

    Emergency brake cross shaft

    Does anyone know of a source for an emergency brake cross shaft with levers? I am working on a 29 roadster that I got as a basket case and it didn’t have one. I can get a shaft at any of the parts dealers, but they all say the levers are not being reproduced. No luck at swap meets so far...

    '57 Custom instrument cluster removal

    I am having trouble with my speedometer and instrument cluster lights on a ‘57 Custom 300. I want to take the instrument cluster out to go over it. I removed the small plate above the steering column. I took the two screws out of the upper lip of the cluster trim. Gently prying with a...
