Re: Carpet 34 Tudor Sedan

Re: 1937 Ford kick panels
Not kick panels but I recently did side panels for the trunk of my ‘39 using CAD. That’s cardboard aided design. Starting out with a basic shape and size in my case I traced the curve of the body...

Re: 39 seat springs
Thanks V8 Bob,
I thought of rebuilding the seat either with springs or with a platform and foam but as this started out with replacing the headliner and has since grown I’m pushing the boundary of...

Re: Headliner

Re: 39 seat springs
Reviving and old thread but thanks for the tip. I was going to tear into my front bench now that it’s out and sitting on the shop floor. Cover is very nice but the support is not.

Re: Headliner
Thanks, brushed cotton then. I have the old torn out and only three of the bows needed painting. The #1 bow was the worst so it got a trip to the wire wheel, two others got only the rattle can. I...

Re: Headliner
With 89 views and no comments maybe I need to rephrase my question. Any advice on headliner fabric, bushed cotton vs foam backed flat knit? Installation ease, has the longevity of the foam improved?

Re: Knee Replacement
My wife has had both of hers done (at the same time) and one revision. Doesn’t do well with the drugs but did well with ice, ice and more ice. Best of luck and a speedy recovery.

Re: Fuzzy stuff
I’ve found the kits, my channels etc are fine. It’s just the felt stripping on the garnish molding. I’ve seen the window felts with steel beading. My old stuff is just felt and was secured by...

Re: Air Filter Cleaning
Safety police here. Naptha (sp?) available at the hardware store works, doesn’t usually harm paint or decals. Hot water and Dawn (for ducks) works well on my dirt bike K&N’s.
