Re: Straightening up a couple of Model A's (Advice needed)

Yep, I have to agree with the others. If both cars have curved window tops then they are Murry's. If one has square windows then it is a Briggs and nothing will interchange after the A pillar. But...

Re: 1930 coupe need new left front fender

Here is an option, you said there was a lot of work already done in crack repair at that point. If you can, cut out that area and have a shop weld in a new patch from a toast fender. It will be...
