I'm in the process of cutting down an S10 bench seat for my 29 A. Scrap metal 48 - I never really considered the seat back being low. :( I'll...
45 with a 29
I'm in the same canoe with ya! Haven't touched my 29 since spring, but I did rebuild my fence and landscape my backyard, including laying in a...
Greetings, Mitch! I live in Littleton, just to your southeast, right up against the foothills (southeast of Bandimere Speedway). My folks still...
Unbelievable skills, Flop!! Subscribed (and thanks for accepting my Facebook invite) :)
Here are a couple of shots of the reflector. Unbelievable that someone would think this a proper conversion...
Unfortunately, the reflectors are wasted - whomever zip tied the bulbs to the reflector cut the center out to make the bulb fit. I like the...
No, Mitch, looking original is less important than actually being able to see. Having said that, though, I'd like to use these buckets if I can....
I thought I'd attached this pic, but...
I'm rewiring my parents' 28 Chevy Sedan, and one of the things on the list is to make the headlights brighter than now. This car was built in the...
Awesome find!! I have it's year-older brother, similarly found in a barn, up by Canada. Mine was different in that the prior owner had rebuilt the...
Awesome, gashog! Great photos, thanks!!
Yeah, I'm almost afraid to peel that top off. Right now, the car's kinda like a 20 foot paint job, so, at the risk of having it look worse, I may...
Red, here's a shot of the back glass area. The top looks like shit (funky creases, etc) and the drip rails are just awful. The brown Special in...
I'm pretty sure these parts are not original, but in case I confirm that this is originally a Special, I may be forced to re-use them. I checked...
It's as kickass as your avatar!!! :)
Does anyone have a good method to determine whether or not this is an original Special Coupe, without peeling back the top? Since it's still very...
That is smokin!! Great looking ride! My wife saw that and said she would drive that car. I don't quite know if that's good or bad :)
Alright, I've looked at these pics again. Do all special coupes have all wood in the corners instead of metal? I took a speaker magnet to the...
I guess when I hit the top area at the back with my knuckles I was hitting wood, not metal :(
I just did the search - TONS of info. Thank you!!! It may change what I do with the top, and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but at least I...
No yelling here, friend. If you can post up some pics I'll be very grateful :)
Bob, I was mentally deciding that would be a part made of 'unobtanium' if I honked it up taking it off, so thanks for confirming my suspicions!
Thank you, Red! Would there be a good place to go to find pictures of what it looks like under there? I think I get what you said, which I think...
Greetings, all. I've taken the last couple of months' ownership of this 29 Model A to get my paperwork in order (out of state titles are always...
Make sure you have a grip of heat dissipating gel/paste, something to keep the heat off the spring and spindle mount holes. If those get too hot,...
Merry Christmas from Littleton, Colorado!
Thanks, John, and you're right, it only counts that I'm happy with the trade. I appreciate the offer of assistance. I'm going to spend the day...
I couldn't agree more, Mike. I've already had several 'builds' in my mind, but most go back to a more traditional approach. My friend who did...
Thanks! I feel very lucky to have such a good starting point. Everything but the horn works (someone clipped the wires to it, so that may...
