Re: Stainless Ateel Fords
I’ve seen the Model A. 30-40 years ago it was owned by someone in our area ….Chattanooga. Haven’t kept up but the owner was not very welcoming. Had to “know someone”…and I did back then!!

Re: 1931 Tudor Phaeton
Don’t be taken in by an”restored” chassis….assume it still needs everything.

Re: Garnish ID
I likely have a original roadster one if you can’t find one.

Re: Tudor Rain Gutters
You’d be putting a band aid on a hemorrhage.
IMHO
System 3 makes some filler products but they are just a better band aid

Re: Vicky front seats
Bobs pics are early seats. Are you looking for early or late? The later has the wider drivers seat and the slide setup for the drivers side. The passenger side is same floor setup. And, they don’t...

Re: New Shocks vs Rebuilt Shocks
I’ve rebuilt shocks in the past. Fairly successfully…not always
You have to start with something decent to end up with something decent.

Re: Zenith 3 Carburetor
Don’t know the quality of the builder….looks like a pro operation.
Good 3 used to go for a lot more than $500.
Most I’ve seen are for side bowls. I think non side bowls are more rare…not sure

Re: 28/29 vs 30/31 phaeton top irons
Yes deluxe are made from flat stock; not tubular like standard phaetons and roadsters .
