Re: Roadster vs. Closed Cab Pickup

I have a 31 CCPU that I noticed had "shrunk" over the years. Took the seat back out and replaced with plywood covered in egg crate foam and burlap. Looks great and gave me the space I needed.

Re: Model A pickup cover

Anyone know of the vendor that has the kit? Living away from any major source of wood, a kit might be the best solution.

Model A pickup cover

I have a 31 pickup and want to make a bed cover for this. My idea is to build a huckster-type cover. Plan to have the sides open like you might see of a truck that would sell produce, or the like,...

Re: What is a cure/treatment for squeaky fan belt?

Belt dressing. We have used this on a number of cars, new and old. Customers come in thinking they have a bad bearing. Most time a couple of squirts save a lot of $$$$.

Re: Which Wood Would You Use?

If you want a hard wood, that will withstand the weather use teak, or ipe. Neither need, or will accept, very well any top dressing. Teak should be oiled about once a year. Another hard wood is...
