Re: Side Curtain part names
Bob C- That's encouraging! Hopefully, it means they're coming out of hibernation and will be open for business. I'll send my order and see what happens.

Re: Let's talk rear bumpers
As near as I know, my 31 Deluxe Roadster came with dual fender-mount spares, with full bumpers on the back. I can only assume it came that way, as I only have knowledge of it from the 70's and the...

Re: Side Curtain part names

Re: 1930 Roadster Roof Resources?
David- the rivet for the top irons will be a solid iron rivet. This is not the same as a pop rivet, which is hollow. You can get iron rivets by internet searching iron rivets. I know MSC Industrial...

Re: 1930 Roadster Roof Resources?

Re: Pic request 30-31 Roadster windshield (Deluxe)

Re: Model A Accessories
My accessories are a set of overriders on the bumpers. They were used to keep bumpers from overlapping when pushing another car. I hope to get them chromed and installed once the car has been painted.
