Re: 16 Day transformation of 30 pickup.

Re: Front seatback riser question

It doesn’t look like the seat riser on my 29 roadster. The coupe seats that have a wooden frame are also different from the roadster seats which don’t have a wooden frame.

A lot of the cheapskates want the parts cheap so they can re-sell them to people who need them. I’ve been to a lot of swap meets where the sellers leave their wives at their space while they’re out...

Re: Model "A" Reliability

Logo Lites (logolites.com) also has a fuse box call “A Plate”. It’s pricy but it has a lot of features in addition to fuses.

Re: Southern Ca banger machine shop?

That’s great for someone in Washington or Oregon but it’s like 1,500+ miles from Southern California!

It’s a great road trip to British Columbia (which I have made several times) if you have time...

Re: 28-29 cowl post stanchions inside bracket

I see it now. You may have to buy a whole new stanchon(s). I see originals in the swap meet section occasionally and on Craig’s List.

Re: 28-29 cowl post stanchions inside bracket

Re: snap on door arm rest for 1931 roadster

It’s $159.95. You can’t beat that price even if you made them yourself.
