My 'hodgepodge' 29 standard coupe has both the original Model a grease fittings and the 'zerk' style. I got it this way. I bought the snyders kit to finish the job and replace them all but have a question. The front and rear spring shackles. The fittings appear to be press fit and the...

As I don't have full pics. I am going through the brackets removed from the old Top wood for my 29 standard coupe to start assembling the new top wood.. I've identified brackeets in the picture, bottom right are the rear for the topwood that connects the rear to the rib-rail. The bottom...

Today I finally figured out the 29 standard coupe body wood 'Jigsaw Puzzle' where everything goes. EXCEPT for the last 2 pieces. I've looked at photos, searched the service bulletin book to no avail. Where do they go? I'm hoping to get the wood finished this weekend. Thanks...

It's been several years since I visited this forum, since 2013 I believe. I had been restoring my wife's 29 standard coupe and flat out lost interest. Nothing was going my way and frustration set in so I walked away. I'd make it to the shop and could always find other things to do and avoid...

I have a PAIR of 18" Ford wire wheels. They are in decent shape, I had to straighten one of the rim edges with a torch but they are not pitted and maybe one or two of the wires need to be straightened but they should be great for your project. They should be worth $25 a piece but if...

This was part of a family members estate I'd like to find it a good home. It's in good shape. $10.00 SHIPPED to your door. Thanks

I have a set of 5 rims for a 29 model A ford. Been sitting here for the last 5 years. They need to be blasted but are in good condition. They are here in Winchester VA, Too costly to ship. I can help with delivery within a reasonable distance.

Before I started taking apart the insides of our 29 standard coupe I took lots of digital photos so I could get it back together. I've had a mishap with the photos and they are all gone. I've been doing searches on the site looking for any photos that would help me put things back together...

This is a hard request to make and I don't know if circumstances will permit it to happen. I've been working on restoring the familys '29 for years with the idea of giving my Father-in-law a ride in his restored car. Time and finances haven't allowed me to get the car completed for him. Tom...

After several months of no work on the car I'm getting back into the project. Left a job to take another that was to be a step up and they pulled the job at the new company before I even started. Was out of work for a few months and drifted between contract positions and now have finally found...

I took my 29 rear coupe fenders to Flop to work his magic. Back in the 50s when my Father-in-law had some body work done on the car the passenger side fender was replaced. During my work when the car was sandblasted it revealed what appeared to be a big bottom patch job on the passenger side...

Now that I have the engine running in the chassis I'm following my instructions for engine breakin. I'm running it at 15 minute intervals and letting it cool down and repeating this process for two hours running time. Then onto 30 minute intervals for the 3rd hour according to the...

I've been working on this A for several years. i work on it when I can, only a few hours a month and its always hard to find the time to work on it. My Father in Law has Alzheimers but it has been a very slow progression and has been slowed even further with drugs. He has his good and bad...

I'm missing something. New gas line from bowl to carb New fuel line. New fittings and ferrules (bought 1/4 ferrules from Lowes) Rebuilt carb from Snyders Fuel still leaks at carb end, Not a drip but you can touch the line and get gas on your fingers. I bent the steel line, slipped on...

I'm moving onto starting the repair of the section of the front rail and cowl of my 29 standard coupe. I'll have to make the front rail section myself and have purchased the cowl and firewall support. If anyone could provide a repaired or stock photo of the section I've posted here so I can...

After getting the body back from the blaster I have found pinholes at the rear quarter panels right next to the 'T" strips. I'd like to remove the "T" strips to get at the holes without having to take the entire quarterpanel off. I think I can repair it this way. Can they be removed without...

I don't know if this is appropriate to post this not just Model A related. If it is inappropriate then the moderators can intervene. This was in the local Winchester Star today. http://www.winchesterstar.com/articles/view/390228 Maybe some on this list knew or knew of him or his shops work...

I'm far from being at this point to even think about interiors but was looking around tonight at where I will eventually need to be. The Interior. Has anyone approached their interior with a 'Kit'? Nothing was salvageable from the teardown. What wasn't mouse 'et' was either moldy, stained...

Neither are fairing well these days. (So much for my new years resolution to purge the 4 letter ones..) Trying to finish getting the door hardware off and the rest of the removal for sending the body to the media blaster. I've tried heat, penetrating oil, a manual impact driver, E-Z outs...

The drivetrain is just about complete. I'm now moving on to the next phase, Body work. No budget to farm it out so I'll be undertaking it myself. I've welded in replacement panels when I was younger on my old GTO, Camaro, and Blazer, mostly 60s/70s stuff so I 'think' I could tackle what I...
