I also saw the listing for the binding head screws but it doesn’t list where they are used. I’m sure more than one place. Once I saw the pic of the screws in question, I knew what they were. Finding a binding head sheet metal screw with a straight slot has been an issue and my reasoning for...

Thank you very much. Those pics give me a lot to chew on. I ordered some pan head screws. Should be here by mid week. The car I’m working on is my avatar pic. That was taken about 1955 at a car show in Memphis ,TN. I’ve gotten so much done since I retired 3 years ago. I’ve had the car...

That's it. I knew a 3 window owner would know what I was talking about. Those just look like panhead screws. Thanks Tom.

Been a while since I posted on forums. Hope you all can see this. The blue piece is one original that I had. I guess that's the only one I had. Anyway, I made some more and would like to know how they were attached. The unfinished one in this pic is just roughed in. They are finished now.

1932 3 window coupe. There are 4 seam covers (as of yet to find out the proper name) that run along the front edge of the door openings. Just little 1/2 x 1/2 angles shaped to fit over the seam where the A pillar is welded to the body. My questions are: What fasteners were used to attach...

Probably the engine that was put in it when it was hotrodded in the early 50s. Thanks for the info. The car is currently registered with this number. It’s also the number on the title from 1964.

Mine was hot rodded in the early 50s and the body tag is gone but I have the title with the number 183016768.

I got the door stuff sorted out. Just waiting for the parts. Seems they are stranded in Waterloo, IA.

Not blaming anyone. Just was surprised to see one of the biggest at one time going down. I ordered parts from them back in the 90s and had good results. I should have been ordering more back then, I guess.

Rebuilding the doors. 3-Window Coupe. I have most all the original hardware but one of the regulator springs popped when I was cleaning it up. I had pre-cleaned them and worked them all the way back and forth and they worked well. Then I was soaking them in rust remover soak (Rust-Oleum...

No glove box knob. No GLOVEBOX! See my avatar. It had (will have again) gages all across the dash. I’ve made many things for the Coupe and the 55 Chevy Handyman I have. Main reason I became a machinist. Should have been a bank president or something. I could just write checks! LOL!

I made one out of 17-4 stainless. The base in Millington is all but gone now. Just an anministrative skeleton crew now. The airstrip is now Millington Municipal Jetport.

I’m in Millington, Tn (just N of Memphis). I’m afraid shipping would be killer. Unless the price of the w/s was REALLY good (for me). I will have to take it apart and cut it for my car. See my avatar pic. That said, MY frame will have to be repaired and re-chromed which will be $$ too. PM...

Thanks for the info guys. And here I thought someone made every single piece for a 32 Ford. Not these evidently.

I’ve been working on getting my windshield frame ready to go to the platers and I got it apart but I broke one of the little corner thingies. I say “thingies” because I don’t know what they are called nor can I find pics or listings from catalogs on the internet. These things are cast...

The transmissions I have came with the 48 I had. They weren't IN it. I don't know what they came out of. I can say one is an open driveshaft side-shift model. The other is buried under a bunch of flathead parts right now.

I realize this is a few months old but I have a couple Ford OD trans. The car they came with was a 48, is that when the OD transmission came out? Will a V8 trans fit a 6? 48 fit a 47?

https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-chelsea-auto-parts-coupe-re-build.696492/ Here is a link with history, more pics and progress. I went back out checking the bolts again. Seems the ARP bolts I have are the same diameter and thread. I ran thread chasers (not a tap or die) over both...

Do you have a part number for these? I bought some that were listed for flathead ford (got 6 in the set...hey two spares) but the threads aren't right. They go in about two full turns with my fingers and stop. And yes, they came with that same little sheet you posted. Hmmmm, it did list a...

I find stock steel torque specs, but not aluminum flywheel specs. The flywheel I got (Fidanza) didn't list torque spec. So what do I torque them to and should I use the stock washer plate (if I can find it...)?
