Looking for a solid drivers side welled front fender. Might consider one where the front is banged up but the back half is solid. Tried to buy new but appears everyone is out of stock.

Thanks for the replies. Backside is silver but either isn't chrome plated or was not buffed out. In looking at it now there is a "C" stamped on the left and right on the backside. Chrome was a bit dirty but cleaned it off with some soap and water and it cleans up really well. No signs of any...

Hi all, I spent the weekend digging in an old barn attic and came away with multiple original part. Many have the original tags or stickers and I can identify them but I also found a beautiful 1934 bumper. Front side is chrome, backside is not which I believe is typical but there is also a "C"...

1928 Ford Sport Coupe project - restoration started - no rust (no patch panels needed) - needs completion. - Very solid car with all good sheet metal. - engine turns freely and was running prior to storage. - many many parts, 40 year collection of parts go with it. (see photos a partial view)...

Thanks Ted. I'll schedule in the Surratts House. I'll also remember to be careful when skating and drinking :)

Not that I really need an excuse to drive my car - I do that whenever I can - but I've decided my newest hobby (amount 50 others) will be to tour my car to all of the historical sites within 50 miles and form a scrapbook of sorts. Knocked out the first 2 yesterday. Also - I know you'll spot...

Are you running a fuel filter ? I had a similar problem a couple years ago. Would run fine then start coughing and backfiring. I did see some very small debris in the the fuel bulb but I didn't think that would cause it. Normally when she started backfiring I'd shut or down, or she'd stall on...

Maybe I've been lucky but I've timed two cars (mine and a friends) with exactly the method on the plate defines and both run great. When starting cold I set the spark retard 2 clicks down, pull the choke and she turns over in about 3 rotations. If she is warmed up I just set the spark retard...

Sorry - been awhile but here is the picture I was referring to.

In reviewing the judging standard I have not see anything on it but a friend showed me a picture of a data plate on the Model A describing how to set the timing. It did have the Ford logo. I'll work to get a copy of the picture but does anyone know anything about these ?

I have not worked much with the Model Ts, I own a couple of As but, while up at my father's this weekend I ran across some paperwork about an accessory light that mounts just outside the wheel well onto the outer fender rim. The brand name is Protectolite out of NY. Anyone have information on...

Problem does appear to have been the washers on both sides of the cutoff. One was old and dry rotten and most likely when I started the car after it sat in the sun for some time, the washer literally crumbled apart from the vibration. Wiring has been replaced (dash and term to gen). New quick...

Will definitely be ordering a fuse (when I order new harnesses - again). Is there a way to test the cutout ? I have about 5 others that came with the car. I should mention that the car is stock 6V, positive ground.

OK - I thought the electrical on these was pretty basic but ...... Car was running fine, parked it outside in the sun for awhile, couple hours later I started it and backed it into the garage, once started and running the wires started smoking. I immediately disconnected the negative cable...

Dubnutty, Welcome ! First and foremost - have patience. I just, and continue to, go throw a situation similar to yours. Although I consider myself lucky since my 29 Woody was stored inside for 30 years. I brought it home last August and only two weeks ago finally was able to get it to start ...

Well, after 30 years the old Woody is running albeit not very well. Idles nicely after carb adjustment. Took it out for a ride and it was pretty easy to diagnose a bad miss. No power whatsoever. I did compression tests and have 68-70 across all 4 cylinders. The car had new valves prior to...

Thanks Tom. I was hoping you would reply. I've always seen your solutions/insights as great information.

Thanks everyone. I'll give it a try.

Working on replacing the brush end bushing on my starter since the outer edges appear to be cracking. I've search and see bushings addressed but no where did I find an explanation as to how to remove the old bushing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know of an...
