  Well, I see other years/body styles available in my catalogs, and a repair kit that will fix the one I have. Haven't seen one in a catalog however for a '37 Tudor.

Thanks, though.

  Stellar,
Try Joe's Antique Auto for your '37 Parts.
I was on a website that showed your in-progress restoration of a humpback sedan. Nice work!
What can I expect to pay to have my '37 slantback done to driver status? I'm talking paint.
I would send you pictures for your estimate.
Mike

  Iam also looking for one, Bob Drake is in the process of reproducing the 1937 window regulator. It will be available middle of 2011. Worth the wait i reckon.
Regards

  It would be more realistic to expect the Drake piece in 2012, than 2011, if they run true to form. The repair kits usually contain the crank parts, and if the teeth on the regulator sector are worn or missing, they can be rebuilt by welding on metal, then grinding it to conform with the rest of the teeth. It is also possible, in some cases, to remove the rivets holding the toothed sector, then turning it over and refastening it. Regulators take a beating because they are exposed to the weather. Rear wundows, in particular, are badly rusted because they get less use than the fronts. Most of the junkyard regulators we have bouight need major rebuilding, anyway.
