Well, it is re-assembly time. The little coupe is finally out of paint and back on jack stands while lots of careful time is spent putting it all back together.
Also, at this time is when we have discovered how crummy the old parts look like against the clean, new paint.
While I can find most of the needed parts, both small and large, I must ask, "does anyone make the little screws that go in the leading edge of the door on a 1934 3 window that hold the original latch assembly in place?". They are 10-32 with the traditional "Henry" oval, slotted head.
I can find Philips head, flat counter-sunk but the jump out like a disease when the door is opened.
Next, is there a source for a "kit" for the door glass? i.e. felt tracks, the back piece that fits in the "web" of the window and bottom felt track.
I tried today, either C&G or MAC's but whichever one it was said they are out of stock until JUNE! I really hope to be driving to an event or two before then... of course this is not a realistic hope but my dream then. Still have wiring, upholstery, back to the painter since we dinged the new paint yesterday and whatever else will come up to delay the reveal.
Those screws and door track are the current issues. I am looking locally for a good woodworker to rebuild the back window wood so we can install the original rear window regulator too.
Thank you.
