Matt, how you did what regarding welting?

I'm about to welt the frame on my 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster and having done this before on a Model A coupe I've got some questions. First I can now buy welt that is with or without an adhesive backing. Sounds good because keeping it in place while trying to sandwich it between the frame and parts to be mounted always was difficult. Second once in place I've always had problems making holes in it so that mounting bolts could easily pass through. I'm certain there will be many suggestions so thank you in advance.

Don't really know what is motivating this narrative, you would think Pennzoil would want to sell oil not curtail it. However, on a non-automotive but oil related topic last year I bought a new pressure washer with a Briggs & Stratton gas engine and their narrative was that I would never have to change the oil, just add more as needed. It all sounds rather bizarre and I don't get it.

I should have been more specific in my comment. Sure, all cars eventually have their headlights moved into the front fenders, I just do not care for the style when applied to 1920s - early 1930s cars. On another note I believe that Pierce coupe would make a fine restoration candidate. It's quite an automobile.

I'm working on a 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster and I was fortunate to find a decent used radiator which only required a minor repair. The radiator technician who did the cleaning and repair warned me not to use anything to flush the radiator other than water and no pressure. This may be because of the honeycomb design or just because the radiator was 95 years old. He is well versed in his profession.

To each his own, I never cared for the appearance of the fender-mounted headlights on the Pierce Arrow automobile. Was that feature ever copied by any other manufacturer?

I found a pair of windshield wing nuts on Ebay that fit my Model 72. One difference is my wing nuts do not have the threaded shank, they have internal threads and the threaded shank is part of the stanchion assembly. The convex washer would be a good find, do you have the dimensions? Looked online for convex washers and there are many, just need the approximate size and a chrome plating.

NO PRESSURE in this radiator!

Yes Rocketraider I've been driving the vehicle with the mothballs in place with no incidents. Problem Solved: This product and it's reviews indicates it works using oils to produce an odor that mice and other vermin do not like. Wanqueen 4 Pack Rodent Repellent for Car Engines

I've been using mothballs for years to successfully keep vermin out of my engine compartment on a vehicle parked outside. I kept them in small plastic containers with holes mounted on top of both inside fender wells under the hood. Now I've come to know they are combustible according to what is printed on the box. Substitutions???

Difficult crud, if accessable, a wire wheel does wonders.

Hi Bloo, yes my Chrysler has shocks, well actually Hassler wound strap shocks, not very effective I'm told.

Evil bay is unfortunately what has evolved from the once sacred flea market and I must confess I participate in the sacrilege. It's become a real excrement show with specific searches bringing up so many unmatching hits. And when we are talking about car parts many of the sellers have no idea what they are even selling. I would love to see more items posted for sale on these forums (AACA).

Interesting jack. Can we get some more photos please?

This topic is very interesting because my 1928 Chrysler Model 72 roadster's owners manual specifically says not to lubricate the spring leaves at all. Apparently all that movement is allocated to the rubber ends on the springs themselves encased in the clam shells mounted to the frame. Puzzling indeed?

When you say a supplier for bits and pieces what are you in need of? A bare block doesn't really give you much. Please elaborate.

Does anyone have a pair of these or just one that could be used to cast reproductions?

Does anyone have one of these that could be used to cast reproductions?

The parts include 4 doors, 2 rear quarter windows, rear window, cowl with firewall, rear body tub section, front windshield visor and several other misc. body parts. Price $500. Body by Fisher. Reasonable offers will be considered.

You just want the bare block? No internal parts?

Do a lot of research before you buy anything. You need to know exactly what you need and exactly what you are looking at before doing anything.

Bill, when you say you unbolted the hinge at the top and they pulled out, was the seat backrest attached to the seat bottom and they came out together or do you mean after you pulled the seat backrest out you then were then able to pull out the seat bottom separately?
