Just remember to place an "Agreed Value" in dollars between you and the insurer somewhere in your policy...makes life lots easier when there's a total loss...This coming from experience.

My '36 Ford Sedan has the trim. The drivers side clips that hold it have rusted beyond repair. Does anyone know where to get the trim clips ?

I should have mentioned that I did send the whole distributor in 3 years ago to "Babba" for all new condensor/coil/points/rotor etc. The problem stems from the storage conditions here in N.W. Iowa...with extreme temp/humidity swings etc....and if you don't use it, ya lose it ! I will...

Well I have committed the mortal sin of not driving my 1936 Ford Sedan for 22 months, including 2 Winters. I have great voltage in my 6 volt battery, juice to the coil but nothing to the plugs. It turns over like a champ. I am certain the points are corroded. As you all know, the...

I took T.M.'s advice and fashioned some clips out of some thin aluminum. I thot I would never be able to achieve the end result...but after about and hour and 45 mins I ended up with some great results. (took about 15-16 trys to get the 9 that I needed) The chrome strip is hanging on better...

Thanks fellas for the info and the advice on how to "homemake" the clips....too bad no one stocks them D.B.

The small clips that hold the chrome ring to the spare tire cover are useless or gone. It looks like there is a total of 9 slots to fill. Does anyone have a source for these ?....same for the clips that hold the chrome strip to the running boards ? Thanks in advance. D.B.

We have a 1936 Ford Sedan, 95% original with only some glass and all new wiring and water pumps O/H. It's been in the family since 1938 and has waaaay more sitting time than driving time. It's lucky to see 2-3 parades and 300 miles in a Summer. What should I do during the long Winter sits ...

I had the same problem with my '36 Ford Sedan last year. I located a fello in Missouri who had a few blank Hurd keys. The nice thing is that he had the punch numbers for the ignitions and tire covers etc.. My lock will work only if you push in/down on the lock ***'y before you turn the...

That was the best piece of film I've seen in years ! A true treasure ! It will circulate itself as a reminder to all of the sacrifices our older generation went through ! Adding "Jimmy D." was great !" Thanks a million ! D.B.

.... just another 2 cents worth...as you are going thru your trial and error and process of elimination etc.....just remember to disconnet or toggle to "off" with your power source, cuz if the points happen to land in the closed position with the juice on for a lengthy period of time you will...

Digger.....I had a carbon copy problem with my ignition key on my '36. For years we drove it w/o locking the ignition. I ended up using W-D on the key way and used a very small (right angle) dentist pick to ease the stub end out of the hole. Then I found a feller in Missouri who helped me by...
