My story starts on April 14th 1928 the day my Great Grandfather picked up his new tudor sedan. He bought it in our hometown of Madison Indiana at the Madison Car and Tractor Co. for $573.39. He used this car on the farm taking produce to town to sell and hauling feed back home for their...

Thanks for the advice. I removed the rear motor mount bolts and was able to get the timing cover removed.

I have all the bolts out except the hidden bolt. I have not been able to raise the front of the engine enough to access it yet. I have the rear motor mount bolts loose and thought that would be enough but it won't budge.

Thanks, it's a little more work than I thought it was going to be. But I need to check it out.

I am having a timing issue and I am trying to remove the cover to check the gear alignment. It is an early 28 tudor with solid front motor mounts. I have all the bolts removed and was wondering if the cover will come straight up enough to clear the mount brackets or does it need to come forward...

Thanks, thats it. I looked on Snyders site last night and could not find it. I cleaned it up and primered it last night I will paint it tonight.

I am rebuilding the tail light on an early 28. The stop plate was rusted an did not look like it had been painted or plated. What color should I paint it and also the inside of the light bracket? Thanks Jeff

Thanks I did miss those two grommets.

I could run it up the drivers side but I think it was originally ran on the passenger side. I might have to solder in a splice.

I am wiring the wiper on a early 28 tudor. We bought the wire from Snyders and I am coming up about 6" short. I came out of the terminal box and came in thru the firewall, then it runs right along the firewall to the passengers side, then it runs thru a grommet on the back (cowl to gas tank...

Thanks for the help

Whats the best way to bend it?

I am putting new running boards from Snyders on a 28 tudor. Looks like the trim hooks over the top and then I have to roll the bottom under to hold them in place. How much do I roll under? Just the ends or the full length? Jeff

I want to thank everyone for the input on the matter. I really did not aim for it to go this far. I am very impressed with knowledge of the model A found on this forum. At this time we are not building a fine points car. At the most we will take it to a few local car shows and Sunday afternoon...

Not sure if you can tell by this picture. But this shows where the tag was removed from the gas tank. The tank had the original paint on it and the tag had never been removed. Jeff

My dad told me that when his grandfather ordered the car that he told the dealer he didn't care what color it was, he just wanted the first one that came in. I know that you could not special order colors or options. My thought is that knowing Henry Ford would not waste anything, they might...

I asked a question yesterday about a restoration on a 28 tudor. I happened to mention that we are painting it Rock Moss. We knew that this would cause some debate. My Grandfather bought this car new on April 14th 1928. It had been on order for several months. We have the bill of sale but it does...

I went back and looked at the dawn dark gray. Ours is much darker than that. I am positive it is a 28, my great grandfather ordered it and picked it up April of 28 ( have the original bill of sales) We buffed out the original paint and had a paint supplier scan it and they came up with a color...

We are restoring a 1928 tudor sedan. We have a few questions about paint colors. The car will be painted Rockmoss green top and bottom with black belting stripe. Was the spare tire bracket on the back body color or black? Was the firewall body color? Uncovered visor black or green? Door...

Fred, it sounds like I am doing the same set up as you have. I also have the leakless pump.I was worried about frame and body flex and that shaft getting any closer. Sounds like you have already tested this and it works. I was going to call Berts Monday but it sounds like I will be OK Thanks...
