Deluxe phaeton seat rest
What kind of seat rest did the 1930 deluxe phaeton use? A peg, a leg, or a cup like the Tudor front seats?

Re: wheel lug nuts
Snyders nuts are fine. Never had an issue. The washers look dumb and are most likely unnecessary. The lug nut issue was from 20 years ago.

Re: Howells fordor sheet metal
