Hi - I'm looking for a complete set of fenders for my recently purchased 1928 Ford Phaeton / touring project. Prefer good to excellent condition and in Southern California for ease of picking up. Interested in metal fenders only. Thanks, Brian

My 6'5" brother drives my 1926 Ford touring with very little problem (he's also a healthy / thin 60 year old). He needs to get situated and he drives it all over the place. His two and five year old grand daughters love riding in the ole jalopy. I'm 6'3", but have really bad knees, so it is kind...

Thanks for the responses. I haven't pursued it yet, other than turning handle and pulling whenever I pass the car - just hoping for some good luck. Brian

Hi - I have a 1940 Deluxe Coupe that I moved the battery into the trunk. I tried to start the car the other day and the battery is dead (lasted over 10 years!). l need to get access to the battery, but when I use the key and turn handle the trunk won't open. I have tried pushing, pulling, and...

Still looking for the floor support.

Still looking for the floor support and a horn for my 1926 Touring. Thanks, Brian

Still looking for a 26 / 27 horn.

Hi - I'm gathering parts and making repairs in preparation to getting my 1926 Ford Touring back on the street. What I'm looking for now is a stock electric horn and bracket. Need one that works and is in pretty good condition. Car is not a show car by any means, but trying to make engine...

Thanks for the responses. I'll clean it up and put a strip of something in the center. Looks like paint overspray, so should clean up pretty easily. Brian

Hi - Does anyone recognize my brake light on my 1926 Touring? I want to clean it up in preparation of putting car back on the road. I think I just need the center part of lens (did it say "stop"?) or do I need to replace all the lens? Don't know if brake light is off another car or aftermarket...

I'm in the process of getting my recently purchased 1926 Touring running again. It hasn't been driven since the early 60's. Lots of stuff to do before I try for the official start. I try to get something done every day. I bought it just to drive locally - should be fun. I'm going to drive it...

Thanks for the responses. Sounds like a flathead is installed just like all the other engines I have done. Just making sure I do it right. I'm 71 years old and just figured out I'm still ignorant of a lot of things.

Hi - I recently purchased a 1927 Ford touring with a model A boxed frame, 8BA flathead motor, 1953 mercury 3 speed, and 1932 (?) rear end. The rear end has been converted to open drive. I have no drive shaft at this time. I'm about to take off the body and redo / improve some aspects of the...

Rotorwrench - Good suggestion on converting roadster rear fender to a Touring fender. Other than bottom bead, looks pretty straight forward. Attached is a picture of a Touring I really like. Sounds like you are an aircraft mechanic that works on prop jobs. Recently discovered "Ice Pilots" on tv...

Thanks for the responses and other interesting postings. I do like the '28' / '29' fenders on the '27' Touring, but prefer the stock Model T fenders. That picture of the TUB is just way too cool in my mind. The fenders that are for sale near me supposedly came from a '27' roadster and is a...

Rotorwrench - Thanks for the information and pictures of a couple ways of building a '27' Touring. I think that TUB is incredible, but the fender less car is nice too. I'm almost 72 years old and have been building hot rods for over 55 years, so I have a pretty firm grasp of work and money...

Hi - I recently bought a 1927 Ford touring, sitting on a model A frame with an 8BA flathead. It is a project that needs a lot of work to be completed and driven. The car did not come with fenders, but I am considering getting fenders for the car. Can someone tell me which fenders, aprons, and...

Hi - I need the drivers side diagonal floor support for my 1927 Ford Touring project. This is the angled part between firewall and horizontal railings. Thanks, Brian
