Vernon, thanks for the tip. I did buy the wood from Fordwood because I'm a mechanic and don't have access to woodworking tools. However, it would have been nice to save the $$. My original plan was not to do a restoration. Now that the issue with the body has come up I've decided to restore the car....

James, thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I did some measuring and it turns out that my entire body has bent back and down to the rear of the car. I've got some work ahead of me to get it square again. Interestingly, someone put a new top on the car many years ago. Instead of squaring...

Here's what I'm faced with. I don't think this is normal. Thanks for all of your comments.

I have a question about a 1927 coupe roof. Is the roof flat from back to front, or is there a slight drop over the back of the door to the front? I have never seen another '27 coupe so, I don't have a reference to go by. If I clamp the side rail to the top of the door, it sticks up about an inch at ...

Are they still available? I'll pick them up tomorrow.

What are you asking for these parts? Will they fit a 27 Coupe?

I'm pretty sure that these were made. My dad told me that Henry lost his fortune in the depression.

I replaced 4 tires, tubes and flaps on my '27 Coupe back in August. Got to do my first flat fix in October. I went out in the shop and noticed that my right rear tire was flat. Picked up a roofing nail. It isn't that hard of a job but I'm going to need a better turn buckle to pull in the 21" split r...

Is there anyone in the Southern California area that can straighten a 1927 oil pan? I've tried a couple of places but no help.

Thanks

That's the one!

Thanks much

I don't live in the Joseph area anymore but I thought I would pass on a Model T story that I heard back in 1970. An old cowboy and I were sitting at the Riverside Garage in Imnaha one day, just looking at the bridge into town that crosses the Imnaha River. At the time I was collecting Model T parts ...

Thought that it might be a good idea to replace the tires after 48 years. The tread was fine but there was lots of sidewall cracking. I can't believe how much better the ride is! Amazing what new rubber will do! Now that I'm retired, I take a ride 3 or 4 times a week.
