Hello All,
I purchased a 30 Model a Coupe several years ago in pieces that a previous restore had lost interest in. I have been able to accomplish the majority of the needed body work while the car was apart but it is time to assemble it and finish it. My main question is there a assembly manual or website that shows the correct installation of all the wood, misc brackets and proper type hardware (nuts bolts) for each portion of the assembly?

I guess this is what you get when you buy a jigsaw puzzle without the box to see the finished picture of. At this point I am not entirely sure that I have all the needed metal bracket either?:rolleyes:

Les Andrews Mechanics Manual Volume 2 has about 15 pages just on installing wood in that car. Shows many photos of all the brackets. Any brackets you might be missing are all being made new now .

Here is a link to that book.

Where is the fun in that? :cool::p
 
I just put a wood kit in mt 1931 coupe with the help from the Les Andrews book. It made the installation a snap.. If the wood itself did not modifications, it would have been easier...
