Dennis, Tape is a good idea - thanks, Bill

Is there fender welting between the running board apron and the front fender on a 30 coupe? The running boards are original (one piece apron/running boards). I don't remember seeing anything about this in the judging standards.

I think the real question is where did the debris come from? You are cleaning up an old engine that my have not run for a long time. I think I would pull the head. Save yourself time and trouble down the road. You cannot replace a valve without removing the head. Good like, Bill

Nice work - now you're only half done. You still have a 30 coupe to do. Bill PS: your work shows great skill.

I did the same thing with a rebuilt engine. I had the cam set 180 out (backwards). Even set that way the engine would pop and backfire. I checked and checked. I stopped working on it. Two weeks later I thought about the cam, and decided to try changing it - started right-up. Good luck with...

Ethanol?

Mine came yesterday (December 24). So they are on their way. Bill

Bill, The two sockets I ordered arrived today, beautiful work and cleaver packaging. After reviewing this post - it hardly seems enough to say thanks for your time and effort. This grew into a large project for you - Thank You. Bill

I'll bet Bill Jr. never offers to do something like this again. Bill

Why not put a new fitting in – at least temporally? After the job is done, You can clean and replace the original. Bill

If the screen catches debris inside - makes you wonder why they put a drain in the bottom? Bill

It looks like the front shocks are not connected. If they are working, you might want to get some links and connect them. That will make the ride smoother. you sure have a beautiful coupe. Bill I should have read the other posts past the first page - like the others said - connecting the...

Is Bratton offering the 7/16 GAV as a common wrench size replacement? Bill

The pictures are of the drip rails on my 30 coupe. They are welded on and I am not going to remove them. I can straighten the gutter and push it back but there will still be a gap. What should I use to seal the gaps between the roof and the gutters (shown In the pictures)?

What you said - me too! Bill

I have had only positive experiences with Randy, and I highly recommend him for steering and brakes. His dad would be proud of him for caring on with the family business. Bill

When advising people of the dangers of riding in your Model A, don't forget to have then sign a waiver of liability (your state may require it to be notarized). With any luck, it won't get burned-up in the crash. Bill

Thanks for the information on inner nut removal, but I am more interested in the inner nut than how to remove it. The inner nut is a six point not and eight point nut. The standard tools (as you can see in some of the pictures) remove an eight point nut. The lens in the middle is smaller and...

The picture is of the gas gauge from my early 30 coupe. Notice the inner nut. The standard tools I have do not fit. They fit a 5/8 opening. Mine has a 21/32 opening for the tool. The lens in the middle is smaller and does not appear to have a face plate behind it. I looked in the judging...
