Yep! friend had '32 Chev, hinge screws, like lag bolts, screwed into WOOD! Drilled, glued in hardwood dowels, still not very good. (sagged)
But they are pretty smooth cars, Pappy, my Uncle, had three '29's a long time ago. He & I went Ca. to Oklahoma in one, did good, lost 1 outer front wheel near Kingman, Ariz. We had to use the old 66 thru Oatman, Ariz. in the Black Mountains, low & second gear switchbacks, and in the WINTER!! Water is trucked in, a loooong time ago paid 10 cents for a glass of water & I don't remember what it cost to fill your radiator!!
Look up Oatman, Ariz. on the net, fun place, even now. OLD mining town w/ donkeys roaming the streets, lots of movies shot there! Bill W. (travel guide) My T-Bird (that's a Ford Too) buddy goes there every year.
