I may need to look at other tubes to get the longer valve stems. 

I had the old valves removed and longer ones vulcanised onto my tubes.

Are you talking about a hot vulcanizing?  If so, where can you get the new valve stems that can be vulcanized into the tube?  I have a couple of tubes that had the stems break, but the tubes are still good. I know glued stems can be purchased.

I got them from the truck tire place that did the job. I think. 20+ years ago so a bit hazy.

 

In fact they are brass with a 80^o bend and the stem screws onto the base on the tube.

Thanks gentlemen. Larry, I bought this car in 2005 and finally got started doing something with it in March 2016. 

 

Hoping all is well with you and your family this holiday season, Derek ! I see that you have not been around here for a while. I think and wonder about your 1929 sedan frequently, plus those amazing tires are on my mind from time to time. Any progress ?      -    Carl

You may have problems fitting a 700x20” into the wheel wells on the sidemounts. 
 

if they go in, one advantage will be that you may be able to see out of the sidemount mirrors.
