I have 2 sets of late '13-15 nearly perfect front fenders, these are repo fenders and were on a 1914 speedster. They have been sand blasted and now in primer. I can take detailed photos of any areas you want to see. All 4 were on a speedster when it was restored. No rust no dents no wavey side trim. I will sell either 2 as a pair or all 4 . New...

My 1927 Coupe has a positive ground, 6 volt battery (yes, I checked the ground). It will only charge to 35% and is very weak.

Some months ago Steve Jelf mentioned that he'd heard of a company in Florida that made wheels for classic cars. I tracked them down and learned that the owner, Rodrigo Diaz, was in the process of developing demountable, non-demountable and split-rims for Model T's. I offered my help and encouragement and thru this process we became friends. I've...

I’m looking for a decent set of lugnuts for my ‘26 roadster with wire wheels. I know Chaffin’s did a run of lugnuts but those are sold out. I called today and got on their waitlist. They said I’m the first one on the new list…..

I recently picked up a 1914 touring car that has had minimal restoration and mileage (due to lack of wear on the internals and moving chassis parts). Cosmetically, the car's fenders and splash aprons were repainted at some point, but the body, upholstery and tattered remains of the top are original.

The engine assembly date is late November 1913,...
