reading trough the previous post and for those like me seeking information the http://www.wescottsauto.com/SubIndexes/Techindex.html has interesting information on it. there is a detailed explanation about how to frame inspection on straightness Thanks to Wescotts!

hard to say, I would need some more information about size and weight. I know someone, who loads containers in NY, so it also needs to be shipped to the harbour in first place (how much would that cost?). But without dimensions its hard to get a cost estimation about shipping cost.

Correct, I'm truly struggling with finding a suitable frame. More difficult over here than where you are. It's not for a show car, I want to use it, it shall be functional.

thanks for the link , Brent your advice? keep the hands offa 30-31?

Hi, I think it would be best to get me a new frame for my Phaeton because mine has been modified and "repaired" beyond hope. Buying a new frame seems not that easy, however. I'd have the chance to buy a 30-31 frame. Question: How much do frames differ from the years? Worth going...

so all 28/29 Modal As have the same frame? no matter of their body style? Do I understand correct, that the red stings will show me if it is straight on the length (like in Bobs pics) but also not tilting to the left or right. Brent, how do you do diagonal check? I assume it's hard to check...

I inherited a 29 Phaeton which originated from Brazil. Looking at the car, I assume it had a harsh live and little care. One of the big things, that bother me is the frame. The car must have had at least one accident as the crossmembers in the front have been reinforced and welded as...

the main question here is how grease a rebuilt and clean u-joint. best option till now sounds like a mixture of grease and 600w and that in a volume to fill up the u-joint cover... would be interesting to know what Brent is using when he rebuilds his project.

I'm digging out this old thread because I'm currently rebuilding my rear axle and also had to take down the torque tube and therefore also opened the U-Joint. Sadly I've not taken a picture but what I found is a lot of grease inside the u-joint housing, next to the grease fitting but nowhere...

sent you a private message about the pair of spindle arms, michael

MAC's got them back in stock. Has anybody seen or tried them yet?

I've worked some more on the curtain story. The attachment shows my "conclusion". I'll put it here for you guys to review. Please, give me your feedback so that I can correct the pdf. Private Messages are preferred

@Brent No, the 7 tooth assembly is beyond repair.. I'd like to use the 30/1 column that I bought (from the picture above) together with a 29 steering wheel, the form that was used on the Phaeton. (except somebody is offering me the correct 29 column for a good price and mine goes onto scrap...

I've got a 29 Phaeton with a 7 tooth steering that was modified beyond any hope. That's why I took advice and organised a 2 tooth steering assembly to rebuild instead of investing into the 7 tooth. Unknown as I was, did I end up with a 30/1 column, I just wanted to order all the spare parts...

This is about the best I could do, about the set-up of the fasteners on the curtains.

Hi Ed, wanted to send you a private message because of a steering column. But your mailbox is full.

Hi everybody, This question goes to both owners of original side curtains but also after market side curtains. Please, could you make close-up pictures of the different fasteners used on the curtains? It'd be great if you take photos of both sides! thanks

Hi Richard Thanks for the pictures, it does help to understand the pieces. What I still don't understand is how the flaps are fixed to the top. Are they fixed to the frame or to the canvas? It would be great if you could add some pictures of the roof without the curtains to see how the attach...

Yes, the initial question was for a Phaeton 1929. I assume though, that the differences to a Deluxe Phaeton or between the years are not immense. So it probably doesn't matter if the pictures arent from the exact same model that I have. Thanks for all the pictures, it really helps to get a...

Eric, thanks a lot for the pictures. A good looking car you have. I also like the curtains. It would be great if you could make a few pictures of the curtains when the door is open. Maybe you could also add a few close ups of the studs at the curtains, the body and the roof structure. Are they...
