  1. Willy you might try adding to the actual Dodge Brothers section. Ads for early Dodge stuff kinda gets lost in the later car listings. You might also confirm if you need left- or right-hand threaded piece. Around car No 1586** there was a change from both being right-hand thread to the left side having left hand thread. Who knows what has been swapped around in the last 100 plus years.

    You are right!   I've seen the design of the screen at the top, but on those the gas INLET was in the center, so the screen was over the outlet. Yours is the opposite design. 😉

    Just went out and looked. My fuel inlet is in the center. It is Model S.

     

  3. No he did not influence me, but I did get most of my mechanical skills from him. Most all the cars he owned were out of necessity/price not as a collector. Back in the 70s, I was looking to buy a Model A, he talked me out of everyone we went to look at. He didn't see what I saw. He just saw a pile of parts (basket cases), I saw a running car. 

    My grandfather had a shop in Spokane Washington back in the mid to late teens, worked on Model T's, that was more the influence that led me to T's. 

  4. You are coming in on a post from 2011 that until you posted, was last seen 6 years ago. Chances of someone getting to the end of it or having the information you need are slim. You need to start a whole new post/topic using the info of what you need in the title.

    I sprayed two coats of black Flex-Seal on the top of my Model A top ten years ago as a temporary band-aid, and it’s still acceptable.  Eventually, I may get around to replacing the top…

    When I built my Huckster I used light canvas and sprayed with that same stuff. Faded over time and had to redo but worked fine overall.

    It looks to be "accessorized" and prepared for cold weather - that hood cover is interesting.  Bet it was fun climbing over the luggage rack. :lol:

    Many city's required you to exit the (USA) passenger/curb side anyway, so no big deal getting in on that side. :)

  7. Just got a nice 115 Johns Manville speedometer, have the cable housing. Couple of questions: Could someone post a picture of the of the square drive end (speedometer end) and does anyone know who could make a new cable for it? I have a length of cable with the square drive but it came out of an AC speedometer so there would be a gap between the bottom of the drive and where it should ride in the housing which would allow too much up/down movement. 

    Thanks

  8. Sorry but, what do you mean by the crank was resurfaced? Was it ground or did you do the sandpaper polish? If it was ground, the bearings will need to be redone. Yes, the spacers came in different thicknesses to adjust clearance. Clearance, I would shoot for .0015-.002.

    I don't ever recall seeing those cool step plates on anything. 

    Custom made?

    Thinking somewhat modern piece. Notice the size of the rectangle around the DB emblem, bet they could just change the center to a bowtie or Ford as examples, instead of redoing the whole master for each car brand. Could have been sold by someone like Restoration Supply Co. or others. The shape and size looks like the more modern (last 40-50 years LOL) Ford and Chevrolet ones I have.
