  1. I was there on Friday; back after nearly 10 years of what seemed to be always bad timing for me. I dug through a lot of stuff on tables but came up empty handed and ended my day after about only three hours. Like mentioned above, if I were a “T” or “A” guy, there were many such parts. I was surprised to see how reduced this meet had become. Also, I learned that it would be the last year for it as the sponsors have decided to discontinue this. I overheard a number of conversations suggesting that parts vendors had for one or more reasons become disillusioned. I have to wonder if this is the natural course of declining interest in the hobby, Chikasha, or other competing meets gaining popularity? Maybe I’m part of the problem as I had already decided it was going to be my last year even before I heard that it was its last year.
  2. Mark, the arc-length of that spring is 32-1/2” and its width is 1-1/2”, maybe just a 1/32” over that. It’s 1/4” thick. Thanks! Joel
  3. These parts came in a box inside a basket case ‘28 Cadillac that I recently bought. They almost look like old wagon parts or Model A bumper. Anyhow, I don’t need them. 24” framing square in there for size reference. Thanks, Joel
  4. Yes! I got it! My search was too narrow. Thanks for that lesson. Joel
  5. For my ‘31 Model 67 restoration, I just noticed that my two headlight lenses that I had stowed away do not match each other. So, I’m looking for another lens that matches one of these. The picture shows a TWOLITE version and a TILTRAY. My preference is the TILTRAY but I just want them to match. Overall diameter is 10”. There are some out there that are slightly smaller but they just won’t work. Thanks, Joel
  6. Dave, thank you for taking the time to get the pictures. Maybe someone will read this and have a spare set! 🙄That’s a long shot. With these pictures I should be able to come up with something very close and get them to the chromer. (I have a good size box of all kinds of stuff for the chromer) $$. Progress is slow as usual. Thanks again!
  7. There are a couple features about that small steel plate that I felt were strong clues that it had something to do with this bracket. First, the holes line up perfectly with those on the cowl. Second, there are two embossed (raised) portions that would flank the hinge bar. Beyond that, I don’t know that it belongs here. Something that comes to mind is that maybe it’s a backing plate of sorts that actually goes on the nut side of this?
  8. Oh wow! There it is. It won’t be too hard to make. Now I’m guessing both are chrome plated. I’m really glad you mentioned the firewall pad. I had planned on installing the bonnet as one of my final moves but that’s gonna get messy with the firewall pad in place. I’ll have to rethink that. You spared me a headache no doubt. Thank you very much again and if you happen to notice that the other end is different, please let me know. Joel
  9. Thanks John. I suspect you’re correct about 32 being like 31. The loose small parts that I got with this car were in three coffee cans. Still, so far I’ve been lucky and only a few parts are missing which include these. The car, along with its pieces, had been moved twice when I bought it. I am guessing that the bracket at the cowl end is painted and the one affixed to the grille shell is chrome? I’m also guessing that they should look alike shapewise. maybe someone will chime in with a 31 pic. Thanks again, Joel
  10. Can someone please send me pictures of the pieces that hold (fasten down) each end of the bonnet hinge? My 1931 Series 60 was partially disassembled when I got it and these parts were missing. my pics show a little rusty piece that I think may be part of it. Thank you! -Joel
  11. Wow, that’s amazing what’s out there. thanks again!
  12. Gentlemen forgive me. I asked for your help and failed to check back; been caring for my wife after her shoulder surgery and just forgot. Some good ideas and thank you for taking time to respond. Joel
  13. This broken pot metal linkage connects via rod to the carburetor from the lever actuator at the bottom of the steering sector. As you can see in the pic it’s broken where it clamps to the 3/8” rod. I suppose a modification with JB Weld might work but I thought someone may have been down this road before with a better idea. Thanks! Joel
