Iron is a great nutrient!

Thanks Walt, now back to Old automobiles, please?

Google didn't work? Certainly must be some clubs.

There were laws in some areas that prohibited entering and exiting on the street side. Ford made millions of cars without a drivers door!

What would be any good purpose for doing that? Why not just put carpet over the old if you don't want to do the whole job.

Actually they could ask a few hundred more dollars if they washed it and vacuumed out its interior!

Olsen's gaskets for your gasket needs. There is a Studebaker section on this site also.

So what is your price? Nice looking car. What additional work do you think is needed?

Paint remover, find it at your hardware store. Black paint and turn them to the inside. There are two ideas for you.

That is very nice. There are businesses that can do custom tiles, but you will have to do the research.

I think you would have some luck in a sale if you could research a bit and find this carburetor's application.

Here is a Car talk broadcast.

$12,345 says you can have it.

Some radio shows are truly entertaining. Do you remember Car Talk with the tappet brothers, Click & Clack on public radio? They offered repair advise with a big dose of humor. I think the shows can be found online still.

I see what carbking is saying and I believe I have the adjustable Zenith.

I use one on a model A ford now and it works without troubles. it is important that the carb works for the size of your engine. I use an autolite carb from a 200 CI Ford on my 206CI Chevy 6 engine and it works better than the old Carter that was on it. Experiment and have fun. I once built a Zombie carb out of Pontiac, Zenith, Tillotson, and Autolite carb parts for my model A and it worked very well. I just like to play!

I was wondering if anyone knows of a shop to cut some front door wood from the original as patterns. I'm on the West coast in Oregon. Leads my get my project kick started. I also need a driver side louvered hood panel. I'm working on a 1928 Model A Hupmobile. Thanks

No worse than watching a shoplifter clear shelves and walk out the door without offering any sort of resistance. This is happening all over. Many people are becoming Wusses!

Eaton springs, look them up. They were making them when grandpa was driving your car!

When I click on any thread first or last I always get the very last entry and have to scroll up to the beginning. Just the opposite of your experience. You don't happen to live in Australia do you?

Any car way out of specs might drive a bit funny. Mine is a standard so no knees in it. The one for sale is a standard also.

I started with something similar, they drive well for a '30s car.

An Austin rear axle is going to be similar enough that you shouldn't be afraid to figure out what is going on inside. Release the brakes and go from there.

What I do to test is open the points on the cam and use a screwdriver blade to short across the gap to test for spark. If it sends a spark every time but not through the point contacts while cranking to start it, it is definatly dirty points. Sometimes point contacts get a film of something that is very dificult to clean so try more than once if that is the case.

But it is running and drivable! All running cars are now in demand since they can't get chips for the new ones.
