It's time to get my old top irons re-chromed, which will require me to take them all apart. Does anyone have a source for all the various studs and rivets that the irons use?

Seems like one problem after another trying to get my '54 Mercury 256 Y Block to run smoothly. First it was the Holly teapot 4 barrel carburetor, so I replaced it with one of Sal's carbs. Next it was a fuel supply issue that turned out to be a mud wasp nest blocking the gas tank vent tube. Now...

Hi Folks. Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good quality fuel regulator with flare fitting for steel fuel lines? All the stuff I've found so far has rubber hose fittings.

Does anyone know the correct red color that is used on 1954 Mercury hubcaps? Photo for reference only. Thanks, John

Hi folks. I have a '54 Mercury Monterey, all stock, that I am having a fuel supply issue with. Under regular use, the car starts and runs fine on both cold and hot starts. But the longer the car sits between starts, the more I have to crank it to get gas to the carburetor. This car has a...

I've got a partial set of 2 side curtain rods for 1933 or 34 Roadsters or Phaetons. They will fit the back of the front doors, or the front of the back doors (on Phaetons). $100 or best offer.

Need a set of side curtain rods for a 33/34 Phaeton, or just the rear doors set of 4 rods.

I've got several 30's era Ford gauges. See the photos for details and let me know what you need. Price will depend on that. Thanks, John

I've got a 54 Mercury with original 256 Y block and auto ******. Car runs great at speed with good acceleration. My problem is when I'm at a complete stop, like at a light, then take off. The car stumbles badly (and sometimes stalls) until I get up to about 10-15 MPH, then it evens out and runs...

Old Model T gas tank. Looks to be from a Speedster, but not sure. Great shape for its age. Missing drain plug, but receiver is solid with good threads. 28 inches long by 10 3/4 inches in diameter. Located outside of Boone NC, or can bring it to Florida when we head back there in November.

Can anyone help ID this gas tank? It's 28 inches long and 10 3/4 inches in diameter. Thanks, John

For those of you who use Facebook, there is a new group called 1932-33-34 Henry Ford Steel that is dedicated to Henry-steel bodied cars of that era. Check it out if interested.

Can anyone share a photo of their Sun Valley trim piece like the one pictured here. The one on my car looks to be homemade, but I'm not sure. (The small trim piece that covers the 3-way joint at the back of the plexiglass roof panel.)

I'm thinking of getting my top irons restored (re-chromed). Has anyone done this recently? Other than removing the irons from the car and wood bows, does each piece have to come all apart? Any recommendations for vendors who do this sort of thing?

After turning off my '54 Mercury with mechanical fuel pump, gas slowing drains out of the glass bowl until it reaches the top level of the inlet port. Its an AC 4052 dual action pump - gas and vacuum. Is there supposed to be a check valve somewhere in the fuel supply line? I am running just a...

Inner fender brace for 35-36. Sandblasted and PORed. $20 + the ride.

Hey guys. I'm continuing to chase little gremlins out of a '54 Mercury I picked up a couple of years ago. This time its the tail lights. My tail lights do not turn on with the light switch, in either the parking lights position or the headlights position. The front parking and headlights work as...

My driver's side brake light has never worked in the few years I've owned this '54 Mercury. Today I had a chance to trace the fault back to the turn signal switch. With a jumper across the brake switch leads and the turn signal switch unscrewed from the steering column, I am able to get the...

Hi guys. My '34 developed a misfire yesterday when I was out for a 20 mile drive. It is noticeable at all speeds, under load and not. I checked all the plugs and none were fouled. It seems to be more noticeable on a cold start and less so when the motor warms up, but never goes away. I notice a...

Hey guys. I picked up a '54 Merc a couple years back and have been slowly fixing things as I have time to get to them. The latest project is to get the horns working. Based on advice I've read in a number of other horn threads on the barn, I started at the horns and worked my way back to the...
