I'm working on a 1929 roadster and I'm trying to get the doors to fit a little better than they do right now, see pictures. I know they weren't perfect from the factory but I would like them to fit a bit better even if they open and close decent at the moment. Should I shim the wood body...

The radiator cap on my 1930 A gets loose from engine vibrations/driving. There are no unnormal vibrations, the cap is just very easy to open by hand too, you barely have to touch it and it opens. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Radiator cap is a new one, same one that is sold through...

The Tillotson carb on my coupe is leaking fuel from the fuel inlet line. I tried a quick fix with some "thread tape" (don't know what it's called in English) but still leaking. Any better ideas out there to stop the leaking or would I be better of installing the Zenith that also came with the car?

Sold my '53 Customline and bought a 1930 Coupe, waiting for it to be shipped from California to Sweden. Running and driving car, I am very excited for it to arrive.

I'm having some issues with the throttle not returning to idle on my '53 Customline. As you can see in one of the pictures the spring is binding against the heater hose and I have a hard time believing this is the factory setup but can't really find out where it is supposed to be. Any help is...

I have some issues with the stock Holley/Ford 94 on my '53 Customline. When it sits for more than a day I need to prime it with some gas to start it, same thing when it has been driven a longer distance and is warmed up. This seems pretty strange to me since I'm running an electric fuel pump...

As I understand it, '52 and '53 engines in passenger cars were either a bronze color or red/orange, correct? In my '53 Customline I see traces of blue paint on the engine and the trans (Fordomatic) is definitely blue. Were there also blue engines in '53 or has somebody painted both the...

Some pictures of my Customline. Got it inspected and titled here in Sweden a few days ago and this evening I made the first longer testdrive, about 20 miles. It's running great, oil pressure is good and it doesn't overheat. Not bad I think for a car thats been sitting in a shed in California...

On my '53 Customline the RH turn signals work both front and back, but flashes very rapidly. On the LH the front lights up but doesn't flash and the rear don't work at all. RH brake light works and LH doesn't. All bulbs are ok and I have had the turn signal switch apart and cleaned it with no...

I'm getting ready to do an oil change in the trans in my '53 Customline. I will be using Type F fluid but how much of the stuff should I buy? Been searching but can't really find any information.

I'm going to need to replace the headlight wiring on my '53 Customline but can't find any stock looking replacement harnesses. Does anyone here know if the headlight wiring on a '51 Shoebox is the same? Reason for asking that is because I found stock looking wiring for 51's at Shoebox Central.

I'm currently in the process of putting together a 1928 Model A Phaeton powered by a 4 banger but I'm feeling the itch for a flathead V8 powered car too. I've been reading up on different models but all I've come up with so far is that I definetly want a closed car, don't need 2 open top cars...

Does anyone have a list that explains what all parts on this assembly diagram are called? My '28 phaeton is missing everything that has to do with the parking brake so some sort of list would help searching for parts.

Does anyone here know what's going on with The HAMB? Been down the last 3,5 days for me and it says "Will be back online late tonight".

Does the Model A use the same TO bearing as Model B and early V8? Been searching but can't really find a straight answer to my question.

I think I messed up when I refurbished my steering column by removing the hand control levers. Any good ideas out there on how to get them back in?

Some pictures of my Phaeton. Originally built in May '28 and now, 91 years later being built again. Factory colors were gunmetal blue and dark dawn grey, now it's mostly rust colored even if some spots still show original color. If someone has pictures of a Phaeton in those colors I would love...

As the title says, anyone that has information on how many 4 door Phaetons were made between 1928 and 1931? Curious as I recently bought a Phaeton made in may 1928. As seen in the pictures it needs some work before rolling on the streets again, last time was in 1939. :rolleyes:

New here on this forum and to Model A's. I'm 27 years old and live in Sweden. For the last 10 years I've been messing around with european cars from the 70's and 80's but always had an interest in the pre-WW2 stuff. So now that I finally have the finances and garage to make a dream come true...
