  • Fender Repair Fixture

    In one of my old articles that Mitch posted, there's one about a Fender Repair Fixture that some of you asked about. In that there are no more patterns, I did contact the person I gave the last original steel one to. I asked him if he would sell it.
    His response was, paraphrased, have someone contact me ([email protected]) and I will give it to him/her if they pay shipping to them. His name is Marshall V. Daut. He lives in Davenport, Iowa. Wonderful offer! Now..

    If we are actually true to our hobby, we could do this: When you are done with it you could send it to the next person who would like to use it. Then they could repeat the process. Like a travelling Model A restoration tool! Think about it. Use of a great tool for only the cost of shipping it to you!

    I have one of those with a set of front fenders mounted on it - old model a Frame rails mounted to a Radial Arm Saw stand... And it is borrowed, so I have to give it back to a fellow “Aer”

      In my humble opinion, Mr. Marshall V. Daut has contributed lots of his valuable time on Forums helping and telling Model A owners about his past Model A mechanical& electrical experiences.

      His offering to give this Fixture away ..... as mentioned above ..... is definitely a wonderful offer ....... let us remember this gift is coming from a wonderful gentleman who always tried to help Model A owners!

        I have invited Marshall to join VFF. If you know him, please extend an invitation too. His diagnostic articles are the best.

                Bill look at article #1 in this link. It shows the fixture that Larry made

                With a tremendous amount of advice and encouragement from Mitch, I present a Series of older Articles I wrote pertaining to the restoration of the 1928 to 1931
                3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

                  Maybe the person that gets it could trace it out so others could use it as a pattern to avoid recreating the jig by trial and error.

                  Rear fender jig for coupe type is simple. A flat piece of metal with holes in the right place. I used a piece of thick MDF I had laying around.

                  I have never done a sedan fender.

                    Alright, here's a story from a few days ago in my town: i went to a garage sale, and the guy had a large assortment of tools, so i was paying for the tools i bought, and we get to chewing the fat, so i mention my Model A, so he says he recently lost a friend was 97 years old, and used to work on Model As, until his passing.

                    Coming Soon to a Town Near You, A New Scam
                    by Tom Wesenberg
                    Usually the scams are easy to detect because they come from countries that don't know our language too well.
                    Now it starting to be homegrown. I just read this one on the Studebaker website.

                    "Hello, I got a phone call, the caller new my name and I liked 1951 starlight coupes He said someone from the east coast was going to buy his starlight and backed out but gave him my name...

                    Where is FLOP from Pittsburgh?
                    by Tom Wesenberg
                    FLOP use to post pictures of his Model A rust repairs and metal shaping, and he did excellent work. I wish he would start posting on this site, as I really enjoyed watching his repairs.

                    I found this link to some of his work, by doing a Google search. His posting could even help someone wanting to do their own repairs.

                    Ok, i'm a Model A person, but was at our yearly parts swap meet put on by the Model T club, and a guy came by my space and bought a part from me. So we get to jabbering, and he explains how many who have tried to do welding repairs to T sheet metal, using modern welding rods have trouble, well, here's his technique (since Henry Ford used vanadium in his manufacturing), cut a strip of metal from an...

                    Aluminum Model A Front Fender Build
                    by RockHillWill
                    This is a project that I have wanted to try since getting more involved in the metal shaping segment of automotive restoration. I have taken a particular interest in doing aluminum work because it looks to be more difficult to achieve by both welding and finishing. This project is a 1930-1931 Front fender. I have been involved the last few years with a gentleman in Belfast, Tennessee who asked for...

                    Fender Markers
                    by Michael M
                    I seem to recall someone on here asking about a means to mark the front fenders so his wife would be more comfortable driving the Model A. I did a search for the thread but couldn't locate it.

                    at any rate, I was reminded of that when I saw this picture. Yes, I know it's on a Ch%#}*€, but I thought it was interesting nevertheless.
