CARB the California Air Resources Board is a bunch of ultra liberal environmental Nazis. Preoccupied with cow farts, camp fires, etc. Wouldn't surprise me if they passed legislation to euthanize our elderly to reduce CO2 emissions. They recently sent out a questionnaire regarding the Model T's I ow...

I got the rubber for the bottom window channel from Lang's.
Can you post pictures of your installed felt window channels?

Cool build. I like your color choice.
Did you have to replace the door glass channels? I'm trying to figure out how to do it for my '27 Coupe.

HI...I received your email for the package tray.
It's still available.
I'm in Fontana,
It's original in pretty good condition for it's age.

Thanks, Dave

I went with FORDWOOD. The window wood kit was $326.70, which included shipping. It took about a month from the order date to shipping. They manufacture the parts in their family shop in Utah. They kept me abreast of each step with emails of beginning manufacture and shipping and they marked each pie...

Thank you, Varmint. Very detailed.

Yes. I did call Classic Wood. The price suddenly jumped from $246 to $348 when I called. The guy said that they are still showing old prices from years ago.

Wow! The cost of the window wood is out of this world. $360, $254, and so on.
I might as well fab my own.
Anyone have the dimensions for the 27 Coupe quarter windows and rear window wood?

Good info. Thanks! After looking for Fordwood, I also found Classic Wood Products.
Now the sites are jumping out at me.
I never heard of these businesses. Glad you told me.

What is a good source for the quarter and rear window wood trim on a 1927 Model T Coupe? I looked at Howell's, Mac's, Lang's, and searched the internet. Mac's wants way too much money for their trim. I don't have the tools to make my own in my garage so I can't do that. I thought about just using wo...

I found what I was looking for just around the corner from me. I never knew the place existed.

Street Rod Glass in RIverside, Ca.
Decent price, Very knowledgable.

Thanks, Humblej. Perfect pitch for those not in the know about glass.
What about thickness? How thick should the glass be?

Thanks, Steve.
Very informative and interesting. I've never seen this before.
I'm sure it'll be a great help if I have to have the glass made.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: I am ready for the glass for my 1927 T Coupe. What is a reliable source for purchase of the complete glass set for doors, quarters and rear? I want to get laminated glass for safety. How thick should the glass be? Most of what I am finding is 1/4" thick but I think that might be ...

What is a good source for glass for the 26-27 Model T Coupe?
I checked on Macs and Vintage Glass but am wondering if anything else is out there.

Typical USPS tracking...

Can someone post a photo of theirs with the rubber gasket on the hinge?

Have the rubber on the sides and the bottom. There is also a seal that goes on top of the windshield hinge.I don't know if we are using the wrong rubber seal or not. He got it from MAC's.
But, yea, there is a seal that is supposed to be used.

I am helping a buddy restore his T Coupe. Our problem is with the windshield hinge weather stripping. We don't know how it is supposed to fit. We don't know if it is supposed to slide in to the rail or if it lays flat on top and we punch holes for the 1/4 x 20 screws. How does it fit? Thank you for ...

Whew! Upside down pictures. For a second I thought that you drove to "down under".

Mark, Exactly what I was talking about. The wall to close the trunk area from the main cabin.
I assumed there would be one like the Roadster has but there isn't one.
I guess that I'll fab one up. I need that area closed off to suite me.

Thanks to all for the reply's. They are very appreciated.

Thanks, Humble. I did not know this. Very interesting to find this out. I guess I'll fab one up.

Thank you, again.

Hello, everyone.

I am looking for the seat back panel for the 1927 Coupe. I have checked ekler's, lang's and a few other sites but am only finding them for the roadster.

Is there a manufacturer for this part or do I need to fab one up?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

.Sorry for the confusion. I meant to say that I checked the other side pillar.
It looks pretty straight forward but I like to make sure of things before I tear into doing anything, especially on the older model cars.

Thanks for your feedback.

Dave

Thanks, JB

True with what you said. Did it. Just want to see it before I do it.

Your post is greatly appreciated.

Hello, All I am going to be replacing the passenger side B Pillar on my 1927 Model T Coupe and have never done one before. Has anyone had to replace a B pillar on their coupe? I would like to know if it is easy and straight forward or if it should not be attempted. Pictures of the process would be a...
