Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
Yes sir, I do... on my car, the rubber is missing as well. The part that is about that shape in my pictures is a whole lot bigger, if that is the one you were referring to.

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
Thank you! Now I know where to focus my searches. I don't suppose you know the part number for those two braces? They don't seem to match any items on Bratton's or Snyder's sites, or a few others...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coupe
Thank you!
I'm looking at my options. I'd love to have it be original, but that looks expensive. For a occasional use, no show car, I think I'll target the middle of the road after market...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
So that bracket thingy is for the mirror, awesome!
My father had collected some reference materials, and I'm waiting for them to arrive so I don't duplicate anything. The Bratton's catalog has...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
Got some time to fiddle around with the car today.
First up was to drain the coolant - not sure what it was, but it was a bit milky and there might have been some oil in there. I'm hoping it is...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
Well, I've no idea how much run time it has had while disconnected. I know it has been driven around a parking lot a time or two, and probably idled a bit.
When grounding it out, does the wire run...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
Well, it *was* a lot worse. My dad sent me some pictures from back when she first arrived. This was back in 1978, I hadn't realized how long he has had this car!

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
A small update:
The car had both a 12v and a 6v battery sitting in it. The 12v was hooked up as negative ground. My uncle put in the 12v battery and coil - I verified 3 ohm - because he felt it...

Re: Intro & Questions - '29 Special Coup
I would love to see those! Right now though, I'm waiting for the boxes of parts, manuals, etc. that my uncle is shipping up here. Once I have that, I'll have a better idea of what I don't know... :)

Lots of great information on your site. I found the articles on the trunk/rumble seat and will look into them further. I had read somewhere that there is a floor pan or something that...
