'29 Phaeton
Hello, bit of a problem as I am trying to restore the body behind the rear seats. Does anybody know where I can find an illustration of how it looked originally as after 90 years I don't think mine vaguely resembles how it left the factory?
Many thanks John |

I believe it was Canadian then exported to Argentina before rocking up here in the UK.

The center portion at the rear where the rear quarters attach? I have some pictures, just not sure which ones you looking for.

Re: '29 Phaeton
Yes, thanks. Anything would be of help as most of the wooden frame is missing and the various metal pieces suffering from tin worm attack.

Re: '29 Phaeton
Your terms 'rocking up'& 'tin worm' made me think 'not an older gent'!
Glad you are still into old cars, especially Model A's. I saw a list recently of known Model A's in the UK & most, except a lot of AA trucks, are sourced from outside Britain. I am nearly 65. Cheers- Tom in NZ. |

The book: Restoring the open As by Mack Hils has a picture and drawings of the wood inside the body of the phaeton and roadster. Charles

Re: '29 Phaeton
Most of the wood in the phaetons was there to hold the back seat and for trim tack strips. Other than the bustle, the doors, and the seat frame, there isn't a lot to it. The "How To Restore Your Model A" series of 7 books put out by MAFCA is the best I've come across for overall restoration.

Re: '29 Phaeton
When should wood be installed? before final paint? after painting?
