Re: 1941 Ford bumper end pieces
I initially wanted a set for my '46 "Woodie" but no matter how I installed them, they just looked wrong. I gave them back from the guy I borrowed them from.

Re: Powder coat VS paint for wheels

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks
The correct part numbers for Model A shock absorbers are A-18015-B and A-18016-B. The A-18015-B is a clockwise rotation shock for the right front and left rear. The A-18016-B is a anti clockwise...

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks
Just taking the Model A shock apart can be a real project. I have a 1/2" steel plate that I bolt the shock to and use a 3/4" drive, 3' breaker bar with a 1 and 1/2" deep socket to remove the flange...

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks
The Model A Ford is a fairly complex part. It has ball checks, needle valves, vent plugs that have very small tolerances. I would bet that all the passages are clogged with the old glycerin oil that...

Re: Speedometer for 46 Ford Car
If you do try the repair yourself and I agree with others that say don't try it, do not use WD-40, use clock oil. Over time WD-40 will gum it up.

Re: making your own body trim clips
Restoration Specialties & Supply has just about any moulding clip you can need. I don't know what your's looks like but they have several listed for '40 Plymouth. They also have a great catalog.

Re: Ma Bell's working woodie wagon?
Two "Woodie" commercial pictures that come to mind are of the Ansel Adams photographer on the roof of his 1941 Cadillac Station Wagon and Dorothea Lang, also a photographer, atop her 1933 Ford Wagon....

Re: Hershey Stats
What get's me is the people on their golf carts "hugging" the flea market vendor tables and expect you to get out of their way so they don't have to get out of their cart. I'll stand their for 10...

Re: Electric powered Heater/AC question
With all you need to go thru for cool air, that cowl vent and roll down windows look pretty nice. Your '36 looks too nice to start drilling holes all over it to mount all the hardware.

Re: Electric powered Heater/AC question
Ggmac, that's my thinking. I can't imagine the amperage that is required to power that compressor. Unless I'm missing something, you will also need relays and heavy gauge wiring along with a new...
