CSPIDY Please share rotowrench's post explaining the difference as I urgently need this information! Thanks

swoopNZ Excellent advice. Thanks

19Fordy; Thanks all good advice. Appreciate it very much.

deuce_roadster Thank you. You have shed light where it needed to be shed! Knowing what is behind there and knowing I will not have to put a wrench on it builds my confidence level up to a point where I now think I will give it a shot. I will get an assistant to help as I am only 18 years...

19Fordy Yes! Bought them from Joe's Antique awhile back. Just have not installed them yet. Don't feel confident that I can reach the hidden bolt head on the hood where it is attached to the hood and also the bolt head on the inside of the cowl. Maybe I don't need to reach them for...

Here is the problem with my hood not closing properly. I believe that one of the problems causing this is the bracket on the passenger side spring bracket that connects the hood to the bracket is "Homemade". I have the Chinese equivalent of the replacement part but need help in understanding...

swoopNZ Agree wholeheartedly on the need for a younger dude to help out. Can live with Standard gauges if they work. Thanks

jstrez When I took ownership of my 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible in 2021, it had no tube shocks on the rear but it did have tube shocks on the front. I ordered from Bob Drake the following kit: HR-18000-K; 1935-40Car & 1935-41 PICKUP REAR SHOCK & ANTI-SWAY KIT. PRICE WAS $229.75 I had a...

TJ THANKS! I was looking for the easiest way out and you just gave it to me. Thanks again!

I want to remove this gauge cluster from the dash board in order to install Runtz Resisters since I have 12 volt installed rather than 6 volt and my gauges do not work except for Temp gauge which is a mercury filled thermometer. Any help or advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

This is what I would do EXCEPT I would use some MARINE gas with oil mixed in from my two stroke outboard engine and pour that down the carb. VGG trick that Derek uses on cars sitting for umpteen years. Slainte

aussie merc Thank you so much for this positive feedback. I will update the instructions to my self. Your advice is truly appreciated.

nelsb01 Anyone doing this, is doing it at their own risk and peril. You are absolutely correct that "sparks" will fly when I polarize the generator by touching the VR's "F" Field wire to the "B" post on the VR. That is how the Ginny gets polarized. Or re-polarized is maybe the correct term...

Coop Dead on Balls Accurate. This was my chief concern until I researched the subject. Thanks for the comment!

My 1939 Ford had already been converted to 12 Volts but it was left as a Positive Ground. Why is anybody's guess. The generator has been replaced with a rebuilt generator and she starts and runs just fine with no problems. This is a fairly simple process which I may have over...

tom1948 OK Thanks for your thoughts. I will check the header for being warped.

Krylon32 Thanks for the confirmation of the sun working on the top to get it stretched a bit. Gonna try that for sure.

Hey you oldbugger Thanks! Sounds like a plausible idea. I will give it a shot! I have owned for two years and it has never been up for at least that long. Who drives a convertible when ya gotta put the top up, especially in the Sunny South? The top is made out of material that I would...

TJ Thanks. My 39 Ford is used for driving fun only and not for entering in vintage auto shows for trophies etc. It is for the enjoyment of an 18 year old youth locked in a 83 year old body. It serves its purpose on cloudless days. However I do not want to get the interior damaged by rain...
