Hi Ben, being married to a clock collector, over the past 50+ years I have changed a lot of clocks - twice a year.

Yep, but sure wish we would pick one plan and stop having to switch back and forth.

Okay, good to know. I will shave a bit off the template if it looks too tight tomorrow when I go to the garage. Thanks, John.

Took the glass out without removing the frame, part of the rear edge broke off. Enough left to make a template.

I removed the passenger side vent window that was delaminating and had been replace by the previous owner with something from the scrap yard. Questions are: 1. Best source for replacement glass? 2. Standard color of glass in '39? It almost looks light grey but might be clear. Thanks for any insights, John V.

Well, don’t know how to convince you, but there is no number on this lens. I know the lenses on my ‘39 have numbers that I have seen, so I am not unfamiliar with what to look for. The only reason I have this lens is it was on my car when I purchased it. I could see it was different than the right side lens. I found the numbers for correct lenses on the Forum, and confirmed the right side lens was correct. I was able to locate a correctly numbered left side lens and thus put this one for sale. Regards, John V.

Sorry Matt, but there is no 6 digit number anywhere on this lens. There is a very small 33 on the bottom left flat edge, but that does not match up to any part numbers I am aware of.

James, I still have the lens - here are a couple of photos. If this is what you want, I will weigh the box and get shipping costs from the PO today.

Jameslwalker, this post is from 2012, I will have to check to see if lens is still available. I will search for it later today and let yo know. John

Have you checked the fuel tank cap for any blockage that would cause the tank to build up a vacuum, reducing fuel flow on hard acceleration?

Here is a shot of the Cars parts - I will check the car today to see which set I need.

Will order some parts and see how it works out - thanks for your thoughts.

the door does drop a little when opened, and the vertical gap is wider at the bottom on the latch side. I have adjusted the strike guide, so it does square up better when closed. Have tried adjusting the top hinge but haven't had any luck getting it to improve. Thought about just slipping the pin up and inserting a washer to adjust, but saw that there are bushings available at Cars, as are replacement pins, which sounded better to me. John

The driver side door on my ‘39 coupe drags on the sill plate. I am thinking about using a bushing under the lower hinge to raise it a little. Anyone have another possible fix for this issue? Thank you for any suggestions.
