Re: '27 Fordor Restore......# 5 !!!
You ain't wrong Dennis, but I have to give the priors credit that they truly deserve. That patch of wood or that gob of bondo may not be a good or safe way to do it but, it did help keep the car around for 93 birthdays. If the car could talk the story may justify the why's. 93 years later the car is...

Yup, its time for a whole new base frame. Sometimes life gives you no choice, not unlike the doc ordering up a coloscopy....Thanks DOC !! (1927 Model T Fordor).

Re: '27 Fordor Restore......# 5 !!!
I've mentioned on prior posts about the main-rail crossmember tenon wear. Here is a perfect example of just that. The main-rail outer edge has settled more than a 1/4" on both sides of the car. This may seem minuscule but when the time comes for the final fitting and door operation it can make for a...

Yup I recognized your name, i'm glad it worked out for you. The handles can be bought thru Langs or Snyders I believe. They use to offer them anyway, not sure if they still do..

'27 Fordor Restore......# 5 !!!
Well lookie what showed up at my door today. All the way from Syracuse NY. It should be a fun winter project. The car hasn't been touched in 40 years. She's going to running the roads once again....in the spring...sometime.. I hope.

Re: Door bumpers...
I've always used Locktite PL-S30 Roof Flashing Sealant. It's black, cleans up with Mineral Spirits and sticks to anything. Be sure to let it cure fully before using the doors.

Re: '16 Centerdoor restore...
So the '16 is put away for the winter. I took her for a drive to Frankenmuth (60 miles RT) and she drove great for having a 20 mph crosswind. But being a chicken @#$% I took a hammer to the wood spokes....yup gained a half dozen clinkers !! So its stuff the Stutzmans wallet time.
