Re: 1934 Fordor roof
Last '33 we did the compressed paper was 80% gone so we removed the rest of it, then drilled the rivets and removed the thin metal channel that held the paper. It was in good shape so we had it...

Re: Hot rod steering box
Looks like the F-100 box in your picture has had the output shaft cut square to fit a Model A pitman arm along with most of the flange cut away.

Re: sagging drivers door -1936 ford tudorsedan
Check the door gap on the A pillar, if it is uneven bend the hinges to correct.
If it is even, something else has sagged and you probably will need to shim the body to bring the back of the door...

Re: 1936 driver side door latch
Maybe a little clearer picture. The arrow points to the original ears that retain the spring. Many times these ears break off when spread to replace a broken spring. The piece that Deuce posted is a...

Re: Brake drum question
They do and at a better price than Eklers; but curious about where they come
from (Argentina?) and if they more accurately machined than the ones that

Re: Directionals switch
From what you described; the power from the flasher isn't getting to the switch or there is a problem inside the switch.
I would remove it from the column, take it apart, and check the wire as...

Re: Oil Pressure Sender... 6v & 12v
Put a T in the engine and mount both senders then all the gauges would be operational, although a mechanical aftermarket would be preferable.

Re: V8 Rear Axle Width
While you could probably find a machinist that could shorten the stock tapered axles; it might not be so easy in this day and age.
You may be better off to switch to removable axles like Hot Rod...

Re: V8 Rear Axle Width
The number you need the seller to provide is:
"wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface"
Armed with that number, you can determine how it will fit your project.
If you had a picture to...

Re: Tiny ends heavy axles
Hank, always asking about "early" period correct; nothing is more old time correct than one of Stewart's "dago" deuce axles as they were one of the first around.

Re: "early" '32 rear end rebuilders?
Maybe check with Ben Haag @ Bluefield Vintage in Mooresville, NC he does a lot of axles.

Re: Horn relay sparks/install question
If the relay isn't connected to steering column or the horn and the only connection is the power wire and it sparks when touched to the fender panel, something isn't right with the relay.
