Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
Good stuff here guys. Thanks for the information.
Pluck, I'm only about 90 miles from Walla Walla and will see you in June for the NW MAFCA Meet. Maybe you'll have the trunk on your coupe complete by then. An article on rumble seat-to-trunk conversion would be a significant contribution and I would look forward to it! Mike |

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
Hi to All,
I'm posting two photos showing the trunk inner rear body panel, striker, and rubber stops. Also note the Anti-drum Cardboard size on my Original 1928 Mid year Ford Roadster. Jim |

Also visible in Jim's pics are the small rubber plugs in the rain gutter, in the hole for the rumble bracket to fasten.

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
When I started this project a couple of months ago, I asked the gentleman that I purchased the car from in 1968 if he or any one else changed the trunk panel and he said he did not. He got the car from his aunt and he knows for a fact she never had an occasion to replace the panel. So I am just about positive that it came from the factory that way.

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
I to am looking to convert our 28 coupe back to trunk lid ,is the inner panel and rail with the bump rubbers and latch position in one piece?
i suppose with all these being converted back to trunks the necessary panel will be hard to get? Last edited by roddyb34; 01-26-2015 at 09:26 PM. |

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
I received part # A-161-ABTR from Snyder's this morning. It is the inner panel for the trunk conversion which fits in place of the curved rumble seat panel, and it seems to be the correct size (9-1/2"). It includes the anti-rattle brace, the L-channel, and the latch. Of course I won't know if it fits until I get into the project, but this now completes everything I think I'll need to return my coupe to a trunk.

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
I have the curved rumble rear floor panel that was added I guess when the conversion from trunk to rumble took place. I can not see any water drain holes in the rain gutter. If the rain is to drain out both sides, not much opening there either.

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
It runs off the end of the rain gutter and on to the ground . there a big opening all the way across . And off the curved panel at the ends under the guide shoes .

Re: Converting 1929 Coupe from Rumble Seat to Trunk...
Dennis, I just went out and looked at my gutters and the one pictured does seem to be upside down. Mine is more like a channel with an inner edge. The picture might just be a deception from the camera angle.
Here is my gutter with the rumble installed.

At the panel under the bolt follow the curve downward. It dips further down in an area you can't see for the angle.
