The Early Ford V-8 Club's 1935-36 book states that the fuel lines were originally 1/4" copper coated steel. Roy Nacewicz supplies "Correct copper clad steel gas line for 1936-48 Fords". I wonder how many folks have seen these lines and mistakenly identified them as copper lines? Jim Wilson

Bob, I have 3 of those pins. Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send one to you. Jim Wilson

I agree, LB should be able to make curtains for a RHD car. The first shipment from LB includes, in addition to the paper patterns, the stanchion covers and the headers. These pieces have been made to fit a top that has not been modified, so when ordering a set of curtains for a chopped top...

Shiny, the chopped top should not be a problem. LeBaron Bonney first sends you a set of paper patterns which you modify to match the openings of your car, and return to them. They say that each car is unique because of different windshield slant, rear bow positions, etc., and each set is custom...

Shiny, I recently finished the installation of LeBaron Bonney side curtains on my 36 Phaeton. I'm located not far from you in Bellingham, and you're welcome to stop by and take a look. Send me a PM if interested. Jim Wilson

There is one here in Bellingham, WA. Jim Wilson

David, Thank you for your input regarding the corrrect installation of the clips. I also talked to Doug at LeBaron and he confirms your opinion that the clips should be fastened directly to the casting, and should point straight down. I will correct mine accordingly. Jim Wilson

Jim, please email me at jamesewilson@comcast.net and we can continue this discussion there. Jim Wilson

Jim, the attached pictures show how the clips are installed on my '36 phaeton. They hold the top pads in place and at the same time hook into the slot in the side header and hold it in position. Let me know if you need more pictures or dimensions. Jim Wilson

I need just one of the guides for my 36 Phaeton. Anyone have an extra one they can spare? Jim Wilson

Looking for a pair of original, not reproduction windshield cones. These are part number 48-711158 and are the part that fits between the windshield frame and the stanchion.

Joe, I'm in Bellingham, WA. Shipping might be a little pricey. I'll send you a PM. Jim

I have a radiator and gas tank, both from a 1940 Mercury and in excellent condition, that I would like to sell. Does anyone out there have an interchange manual that can tell me what other years of Mercury and Ford these will fit?

This is my '36 phaeton in its current state of restoration. Jim Wilson

Dan, my 1936 phaeton is a work in progress. I bought it as a total basket case, with absolutely no wood and, based on some warped panels and melted brass fasteners in the top irons, it's likely it was in a fire. I'm restoring it to original, stock configuration, including mechanical brakes and...

Rsincc, I have an extra left front (and right rear) hood handle for a '36 which should be the same. Give me your address and I'll send it to you. Jim
