Re: 1930 Blindback Restore to original?
I do have bumpers and spare tire mount. Not sure about rear valence though. I may have to go through stuff I have. If pics of them would help I can get them on here too

They are a handsome car when completed. My brother took 13 years to finish his, and replaced the wood sills and other stuff.

Re: 1930 Blindback Restore to original?
Love to hear your daughters are into helping. That's how I got my start loving vintage cars. I think I was more of a hindrance than help sometimes. I dropped a small wrench into the inspection hole on the tranny. He never let me live that down since he couldn't get it out and had to take it out to get at the wrench. So, I was banished from the garage for a few days. I'm in my mid 70's now and my garage is full of old iron.
Those times in the garage are some of the best memories with my dad. Barbara Jo Birt |

Re: 1930 Blindback Restore to original?
The rear valence appears to be the same as my car. Which means it will be hard to find-not sure why but I don't think they are reproduced. You may call Bert's in Denver. since you are not concerned about the money portion I say go for it! The time with your daughters will be sooooo worth it in the long run. For a heads up as to what you will be in for, pick up the set of DVD's about the Model A and how to fix it from MAFCA.

It would appear you have a Deluxe model by Briggs. 167 is Briggs terminology Ford 170-B

Re: 1930 Blindback Restore to original?
Woodwork huh? I've done that. It can seem difficult at first but once you get started, you'll probably find it's all manageable. Just awkward.
