Re: REAR Fender Questions ? ? ? ?
Your car looks fine to me just as it is. I think you should enjoy your car and not focus on this fender issue. No one will notice this minor fender difference so you should put it out of your mind...

Re: 1929 Rumble lid replacement
Used a Brookville deck lid on my 29 roadster and was very happy with the fit and quality. It was one of the repro sheet metal parts that required the least amount of work to get it right.

Re: 1929 roadter
I folded mine under the sub frame using hammer and dolly. However, The question I have is do you leave the scalloped edge open so it will drain water or should they be sealed off?

Re: Spellings/Misspeling?
That is it in a nutshell. The information forthcoming from you Ford Barners is much too much important to even consider or have a concern for misspellings.

Spellings/Misspeling?
Couldn't refrain from commenting on some of the "misspellings" on Ford Barn. Many are comical and I often wonder if they are deliberate.

Re: Cowl Band - Repair or Replace?
Definitely use the reworked original. What you haven't given any consideration to is the fact that the repo will probably not fit like the original - and then will you take on some fun with the repo!
