I can't say what the Lady is from, but the cap that it's mounted on is 1928-1929 Model A Ford. You might have better results on the A.A.C.A. site....
10/32 x 11/16" oval head screws are what you need.
As others have mentioned DRIVE IT. I can't tell you how many people I know build these mega HP motors and don't drive it because the gas milage...
All depends what you want in a car. If you are building a "trailer queen" and all you do is put it in the trailer to and from a car show, because...
If you want to reduce the structural integrity of an "I" beam, remove one of the webs. I wouldn't trust it. Do you know what that piece is and...
Another thing I find nice is that every car pictured does not have side mount spare tires. It seems every '32 Ford nowadays has to have two welled...
By the looks of the cotter-pins someone has been in the motor already. Probably to pull out a shim to tighten up the motor. Model A's are probably...
One thing I noticed is that you don't have the starter support bracket attached. I hope you are going to use one.
Duke, I had basically the same situation and did need starter insulation. I purchased a starter insulator from a company called Design...
I answered your question on the Ford Barn, but I'll answer here also. Restoration Specialties & Supply has just about any moulding clip you can...
A friend purchased one at the Nat's in Louisville and we both had a problem using it. Anyway, what makes them "period correct"? Restoration...
I get most of my Model A parts from Bratton's in MD. You are correct that many places are not stocking parts like they did at one time.
I 'm also in New York and I learned a long time ago that the less you say to the DMV the better off you will be. They almost force you to be...
When you purchase a car cover from CCC for a Deuce roadster there are several types you can choose from. By the looks of your cover it was made...
Magfiend, you're a year too late. I started reading and subscribing to Street Rodder in 1972 and kept a written content of each issue for...
Restoration Specialties & Supply has dozens of assorted styles and lengths. [email protected] 814-467-9842. Great catalog by the way.
It's a well built hot rod as far as I'm concerned. She own's the car so she can pick any color she wants.
I did back in the '60's when I raced my '60 Corvette every Sunday until one day the light bulb went on. I said to myself "what the hell are you...
It can't be that different from a 1946 Ford and that information along with illustrations is on the Van Pelt Sales web site.
If you do order one from Bratton's Model A, ask about the fit. At one time the reproduction cowl bands did not fit well.
Restoration Supply Company, www.restorationstuff.com has what is listed in their catalog as "Half Oval Moulding. It comes in brass, aluminum and...
It's used on Sport Coupes and Business Coupes and not reproduced. It is a very hard part to remove without damaging it. The inner part is nailed...
Not by much. The Bratton's Model A catalog has them listed for $270 each, $1080 for a set of 4.
Last time I looked, the new shocks were something in the range of $1600.
X2, Not Model A.
There is a book available for rebuilding the Model A shock absorbers available and I would recommend purchasing it before you start, as the '32...
I'm sorry to be a downer on this subject, but I could never understand the big deal about getting someones autograph. Once we were in a crowded...
If you go to the site's dedicated to "Woodies" you MIGHT get one post a week, if that. The last post for Woodies on the A.A.C.A. site was over a...
When you put weight on the axle and splay the shackles further out as they show now, you will need a panhard bar. If you don't, that front end...
I answered on the Ford Barn, but I'll answer here also. I believe Restoration Specialties has door panel material.
