    Brake mystery

    Thanks, I will use your suggestion. This car was restored to go to a museum in 2002. Great looking car but they did not restore anything mechanical. Just cleaned up and made to look good. It has been a challenge.

    Brake mystery

    I am working on a friends 29 Coupe. The brakes were converted to juice brakes many years ago. My problem is adjusting the front brakes. If I adjust the brakes so the wheels spins with little resistance, it should work but if you step on the brakes the brakes wont release. I replaced everything...

    What is the best chassis Black frame paint?

    I have used Eastwoods products before and had good luck. I had the frame powder coated on my 29 CCPU. Will see in time how it works out. Great so far.

    How well to repro splash panels fit?

    I installed a set of splash guards and running boards from Howells. The splash guards were ok but the running boards mating to stock fenders was not good. Original parts were not available to me so I had no choice.

    Roof and Visor questions 29 CCPU

    Thanks for the information. I checked out Marco's. A lot of good pictures! 1Crosscut - I would like a photo of your top showing the folds. My wood joints are all sanded and I will recheck everything. Wrong time of year for that hot sunny day. Maybe a hot garage will do. What glue is best for...

    Roof and Visor questions 29 CCPU

    Thanks again for all the nice comments on my first drive a while back. I only have two major things left, roof and visor. I have watched all the videos, etc. on installation of both but still have questions. No one shows how to do the rear corners on the ccpu. I assume they have a fold in them...

    Manual Wipers, 29 CCPU

    I see where Burts says it has to be lengthened. Like so many other after market parts I have purchased, you have to make them fit.

    Manual Wipers, 29 CCPU

    I got a new manual wiper from a vendor. I thought finally something simple to put together, one nut, what could go wrong. Alas I does not fit. My window frame is from a 28 AA and still has the original tube for the wiper. The new wiper is too short to fit thru the tube and allow the handle to...

    First Drive

    I took my first drive in my 29 CCPU today. What a thrill!! Not completely done yet as you can see and I didn't get the pictures in order. That is the trailer full of stuff I purchased from Plucker to start with. Just a year and a half later and around the block twice. I even had tears in my...

    Rear main question

    Tom, our weather is a bit different here in Montana. Low humidity and it was 52 degrees outside this mourning. Garage stays cool all day. I am close to lifting the engine out so things are going good. Really hard tearing my A down when finishing the total rebuild is not too far away. Yes I am...
