seeking photo: T descends steep embankment
I've seen a period photo -- maybe even a film clip -- of a Model T descending an impossibly steep bank of a creek bed (?).
The suspension is twisted and contorted in a way that really displays the...

Re: '42-'48 Convertible windshield gasket
The Carpenter catalog lists only one seal for '42-48 with chrome, both convertible and closed car, and that's the one I bought (Not disputing you, Supereal, just recounting my experience).

Re: '42-'48 Convertible windshield gasket
Thanks, Paul. I am aware that there are two different gaskets, and I'm pretty certain that the one we have is correct for the stainless trim -- the three grooves would be (1) glass, (2) pinch weld,...

Re: '42-'48 Convertible windshield gasket
Our windshield stainless project has not gone well. Here's the '42 convertible from which we took the dimensions used to construct our windshield frame. Notice the appearance of the stainless:

41-48 windshield divider bar: ignorant question
I am missing this bar entirely for my phantom convertible (the car is a '40 Ford, but the top is a faux '42-'48 convertible). I'm not clear if the original part is in two or three pieces, including...

'42-'48 Convertible windshield gasket
I find that Carpenter lists a gasket with part # 11A-7003110-B, while Drake shows # 21A-7603110. Both are supposed to be for '42-'48 Ford cars with stainless inserts.
As some of you know, my car...

Re: '39 Stainless side trim -- Drake vs Carpenter?
I didn't say anything about a Fordor. I presume that the curve of the quarter trim is similar between a convert and a coupe, although the convert would be shorter at the front by the 6" difference in...

Re: '39 Stainless side trim -- Drake vs Carpenter?
Thanks for the advice. Because my car has sedan doors, I shouldn't have a problem there -- although I still don't understand how the 2dr sedan and convertible door trims are different. My quarters...

Re: '39 Stainless side trim -- Drake vs Carpenter?
Yes, I would consider buying gennie parts. I had imagined that original '39 trim would be a bit scarce, and would of course involve additional expense for polishing. From your comment I guess it's...

'39 Stainless side trim -- Drake vs Carpenter?
I plan to use '39 side trim on my phantom '40 convert (shown in post #19 of this thread: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122229).
Both Drake and Carpenter offer repop stainless for...

Re: 53 vic tires
I have 215-75R/15s on my '51 Vic, and 205-75R/15s on my '56. Both of my cars, and probably yours, came with 670-15s. The 205s are the usually recommended equivalent for 670, and I think 215s are a...

Re: 1939 cowl mirror??
Many thanks! This is the car in question, obviously still in process. It was originally a derelict '40 Std coupe:
