I have been fighting a situation that causes my 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan to stall (as if running out of gas) and fails to start back up until it has completely cooled off. In the course of restoration a new tank was installed, new fuel pump was installed, new vented gas cap, new carburetor...

1935 Ford Convertible Sedan that is almost 100% original. It runs well and road worthy. It is currently registered and street legal. It was pictured in the 2004 Hop Up, 6th issue, page 65. It has a flathead V8 from a later year. From the head bolt pattern is is a 1938-1946 engine. I bought it...

What do you all recommend putting on wood wheels to help preserve them? I heard in the past, kerosene should be used. I was at Home Depot to get some and they now sell a "kerosene substitute" (for kerosene heaters). Reading the label made me think this might not be the right thing to put on the...

I removed all my fenders from my 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan months ago for some body work. Now I’m putting things back together and run into a problem. I took before pictures but I did not get a good one of the underside of my rear fenders. I have these brackets that should fit in the rear but...

I have what I believe is a 1938 flathead in a 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan. It used to start pretty reliably even if it sat for a couple of months but that has changed and I'm looking for suggestions for things to check. Here are the symptoms: It started up on Mother's Day and we took a ride...

Hey folks, I had my 35 out on the road last week and it was running fine though this was only the second time I had it out on the road for more than 20 miles. I was doing about 45 mph when it acted like it was running out of gas. The engine sputtered and quit. I was able to roll off the road...

I see Mac's has a halogen conversion kit for my 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan with a stock 6 volt setup. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit. Searching the forum I see comments like the halogenbulbs draw more current than the generator can supply. It also looks like if I...

I have a 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan that is in need of a top. I have the iron framework that appears intact. The prior owner appears to have restored the iron but I know I am missing pieces I have to find before I can have the canvas work done. I have been getting great information from...

I am working on my 35 convertible sedan top. The frame is intact as best as I can tell with the exception of the wood header that sits on the windshield. I found convertible top kits for the convertible sedan but they don't include the wood header. A local top shop can install the top but can't...

I recently learned that the 1935 Ford Convertible Sedan was the pace car for the 1935 Indy 500. Harry Mack was the driver of the pace car and Amelia Earhart was the Grand Marshall. I have found several pictures on the web but so far they are all black and white except for a model of the car...

I have ordered a set of horns from Ecklers. When they arrived the left one did not work the right one did. I returned the left one. A new left one arrived and it does not work either. Frustrating! I called Ecklers again and they said out of 15 shipped only 2 were returned (one was the first...

I bought two new horns and went to mount and wire them up and ran into a problem. On the new horns, one terminal is grounded to the horn body. So with the horn mounted on the fender, it is grounded. The brackets I have to mount the horn to the fender, do not have any insulation that would...
