I ordered some running boards & covers some time ago. Come to find out, they are about 1/4 of an inch longer than my originals and the outer edge is 'way too long and has a lip on them. I've been trying to get them to the right dimension but it's a struggle. I got them from eBay from a "Moos", I...

I saw some Bob Drake running boards & they seemed really high priced. I found some on eBay & the covers that you can glue on. They are a bunch cheaper. Do any of you know if the glue on kind are okay? I know Drake has quality stuff. Thanks in advance, Rod

I have a 1939 standard sedan. My upholsterer said to get an Acme headliner. I see that Mac's has them but I can't determine which one I need by the website. So do I need to call them or is there a way to make sure I get the right one? Thanks in advance, Rod

I have a '39 Standard that I just bought a new Bob Drake hood orn/handle assembly for. The ornament doesn't stay tight against the stop when latched. I haven't driven it yet but I'm guessing this should rest tightly against the stop. I don't know if it's slack in the cam or a spring problem...

My hood ornament/handle doesn't stay against the stop built into the bottom part of the ornament. Is there a way to tighten up the spring in the mechanism that the square part of the handle goes through or do I need to shop for a new one? Thanks in advance, Rod

I just installed my Bob Drake hood orn/handle on my '39 Standard. It seems the boss on the handle needs some material removed so it will sit a little farther down in the ornament. I'm guessing about a 1/16 or so. Anyone had this occurrence? Thanks in advance, Rod

I've spotted a rear 1/4 window regulator for a '36-38. It looks like my '39. Will it fit? Thanks in advance, Rod.

I doubt that's what they're called, but my regulators(rear side)on a two door sedan, are really rusty & I'm not sure the parts that go in the channel are okay. I can get them in the channel but they seem to slip out. Maybe it's because I'm tilting the glass too much. I've been fighting this...

Can anyone tell me what to use in the channel behind the front door on my '39 that the windlace staples to? Mine is gone. It looks like a fiber sort of thing in a friend's '39 coupe. Thanks in advance, Rod

I need to install the rear window regulators in my '39 two door sedan. I'm dreading this as I've never done it before. The channel is already on the glass. Is it better to install the lower channel on the regulator & then lift the assembly into the opening? It pretty much looks like a two...

Anyone do business with Joe's? There are a bunch of parts listed on his website. I wondered if anyone on here has had experience with this vendor. Thanks in advance, Rod

Hi again, I posted a question about interior trim panels a few days ago. Thanks for all the replies. I've discovered that Mac's has these panels but I can't get a breakdown of exactly what this package consists of. Has anyone used Mac's for interior trim panels? I'm just about ready to order...

I'm sure this question has been posed before but I couldn't seem to find any information. I cut some interior trim panels out of 1/8" hardboard & I think it will work but I'd sure like to fine a little bit thinner stuff. I really don't want to pay the exorbitant prices I see for precut. Any...

I recently bought "front of the rear fender" patch panel for the right side of my car. After I already had it welded in I noticed it was short. I thought the difference was due to the damage on the old fender. I measured the other side and it measured 6 " from the running board mounting area...

I just installed the left door glass in my '39. It went pretty well. The right hand side is being real difficult. I started the left with the front down then rolled the regulator up "into" it an it seemed to fall into place. What am I doing wrong? Also, what is the placement of the stud on...

I recently replaced my tailpan on my '39 two door sedan. I drilled holes in the flange and plug welded it to the side panels. I didn't get enough heat on it in several places and am in the midst of re-doing it. Is this the correct procedure? Do I need to tack it on the outside where it joins...

I have a '39 two door sedan. When I was working on some interior stuff I happened to feel that I think is a run channel for the quarter window, the vertical piece of metal that the window runs up and down in. It appeared to be tack welded onto the body. This was a front one. I didn't really...

I just installed a windshield frame in my '39 two door. It came out of a different car. A friend of mine and I put it in and it fits very loosely at the ends and just doesn't seem to fit tightly at all anywhere. Do I need to loosen all the adjusting screws at the top when I put it in? The...

I have a '39 and am looking at a windshield seal on ebay. The package says "Vintique" and the seller says it's a Dennis Carpenter. Is this a good choice or do I need to get a Bob Drake seal? Thanks in advance, Rod

I jut got a windshield frame for my car and my glass guy says to wd40 it and use a rubber hammer very "gently". I drilled the screws out. It hasn't moved yet. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Rod
