Check out Hupmobile
Yes I knew that. I do not know why I typed Hudson. Duhhhh! I have some Hudson around somewhere and probably had them on my mind when listing these Hupmobole ones. Thanks for advising.

I have some armored wire like what was used in the day.

CNC probably won't work as these cars weren't held to tolerances tight enough to allow true interchangeability of wood parts. Also include poor assembly line QC and it is difficult the to produce wood parts that will fit every car. Also add differing body styles and limited common pieces there would be no real quantity savings. Given the high number of makes, body styles, year to year changes, and loose (by modern standards) tolerances the only real fix is making and hand fitting parts to a specific body. One size fits all will probably result in less then satisfactory fit which I have seen on many restorations using self made and purchased wood pieces alike.

As I said I have one of each door pictured on my Facebook page. I cannot see a Cabriolet door working on a coupe but anyway look at the pictures I have and then tell me. By the way there is only superficial trim and paint differences between US and Canada GM production during that era.

So I am hoping to take things to the next level and get organized to really produce solutions for those needing wood for vintage and antique cars. To this end I have started a Go Fund Me campaign for "Automotive Wood Bodies". Check it out on godundme.com and help out if you can.

I would say they are not aware of the value of a 1931 Cadillac Cabriolet. Worth much more as an original restored car then any configuration they could conceive of as a rodded or customized car. Sad.

I have a really nice rear fender for 1929 1930 Pontiac Sedan and Coach model 6-29, 6-29A and 6-30. Pictures are on my Facebook page "Antique and Vintage Car Parts" for viewing. Other Pontiac parts are also pictured there. Only correspond via e-mail indicated on that page.

Pictures of the doors I have available as well as other 1929 Pontiac parts are on my Facebook page "Antique and Vintage Car Parts".

Coupe and cabriolet doors are different. I have one of each. I have pictures of Pontiac parts on my Facebook page " Antique and Vintage Car Parts" if you wish to have a look.

Thank you very much. Nice to know what it fits.

Distance from front bottom to back bottom and center to center spacing of the holes that mount to the running board would confirm application or not.
She measures 42 3/4" front to back. About 10 1/2" wide and the front mounting holes are spaced 3 3/4" with the first one 1 1/2" from the inside edge. Thanks.

Can't be certain without measurements but looks like Series 6-29, Series 6-29A and Series 6-30B Pontiac.
What measurements would you need?

As mentioned there would have been an oil separator/crankcase breather in that hole with a pipe to the air cleaner mounted to the carb. Without it you will have a buildup of gasses in the block especially if you have the early top pan with no vent holes. Finding these three parts can be very difficult and expensive if you do. By the way the correct air cleaner only fits the original Carter carbs. As this seems to be an early car it would have had a Carter 125S carb that has the short fat accelerator pump. You can use the later 136S or 150S carbs with the long accel pump but they are not 100% accurate. If interested I can check as I may have these parts available as well as a NOS 150S Carter carb. I also have various 136S carbs that need rebuilding.
Also with the fuel pump if it does not have the correct lever to engage the cam there could be fuel delivery issues to the carb or eventual damage to the cam lobe. It should be verified same as the proper pump.
Another thing you have the wrong cap on the oil filler tube.

I have part of the bows , but don't think they are right . Would like the whole thing if possible . I have factory drawings , and photos Kings32
If you have drawings do you need the wood bows made?

If this is the early version ( which the rocker cover indicates having no vents) there should be no sealing around the spark plug holes. They are open for venting. On the other side of the engine there should have been an oil separator just ahead of the bellhousing with a pipe that goes to the carb. Air was sucked through the here from the crankcase to remove blow by gasses. If you seal the spark plug holes then the crankcase won't vent. Later in 29 Chev changed to a vented rocker cover and the small pipe from the carb went to the oil filler tube further ahead on the block.

If you have pictures of the style you want and dimensions of space they fit into then I am sure seats could be made.

Have a look at my facebook page "Automotive Wood Bodies" as I am presently rebuilding a 1928 Durant. Your wood will be similar and I have many pictures there.

Not selling my books but could scan the pages. All parts are listed. So far looking for 30+ years I have not yet come across any parts for these heaters. I have not yet even seen one on a car and I live in a city where these cars were manufactured.

I have a 1929 only and a 1929/30 parts book and they have illustrations of the systems. There was a first one in early 29 and a later system that differs slightly. Both fitted around the exhaust pipe as you describe.
