Re: removing hood rods?

Imho that equates to tearing up the hood. Resizing/compressing the rounds back to shape is quite a task; I don’t find it “easy “ to reshape. I have to sometimes compress them because they...

Re: removing hood rods?

Badly need a drivers side latch pillar (jamb) cover. This covers the door post where the striker and dovetail mount. About 32” high. I’ll consider most any condition if complete (not half of one!)....

Re: Stainless Ateel Fords

Exactly right. Some are magnetic (iron) therefore will rust. Many stainless will rust when welded even with stainless wire or rod of same alloy.
As to the pics on Vince website. By looking...

Re: Stainless Ateel Fords
I’ve seen the Model A. 30-40 years ago it was owned by someone in our area ….Chattanooga. Haven’t kept up but the owner was not very welcoming. Had to “know someone”…and I did back then!!

Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton

Re: Garnish ID
I likely have a original roadster one if you can’t find one.
Might consider some trade in of the slant…if not rusted our or repaired on the bottom.

Re: Tudor Rain Gutters
You’d be putting a band aid on a hemorrhage.
IMHO
System 3 makes some filler products but they are just a better band aid

Re: New Shocks vs Rebuilt Shocks

Re: Zenith 3 Carburetor
Don’t know the quality of the builder….looks like a pro operation.
Good 3 used to go for a lot more than $500.
Most I’ve seen are for side bowls. I think non side bowls are more rare…not sure
