A good source of fasteners and materials is LeBaron-Bonney. Their web site is www.lebaronbonney.com. e-mail: lbb-hc@greennet.net You didn't mention the model type of your car. There are lots of '34 experts out there, and that info will help them.

Your serial number indicates an early car, about 15000 out of 776878. The door handle change was made very early in the model year and most 1934 cars had the door handle in the center. You can purchase the body to frame webbing from Dennis Carpenter and Roy Nacewicz may have your bolts. Roy may also have the webbing. LeBaron Bonney should be able to supply the tack strip for the roof. http://www.dennis-carpenter.com/ http://www.fordscript.com/ I would recommend that you buy the V-8 Club's 1933-1934 book. It can be purchased at the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum tiffany@fordv8foundation.org or on the home page of this site.

TomO after due consideration..i have decided to express my opinion concerning the 33/34 ford book (restoration). You not the only mamber of the v-8 club that has touted this book...its must have, etc,..etc,.... I BEG ALL OF NOT TELL PEOPLE THAT THIS IS A MUST HAVE BOOK..iT DOES NOT SHOW YOU HANDFUL STUFF AND YOU CAN EVEN USE TO RESTORE ANYTHING...WHAT WE NEED IS HOW TOS::::I.E., HOW INSTALL THE ROOF *START TO FINSH*; hOW TO YNSTALL THE FRONT FENDERS GRILL, RAD... ALL THE BOOK HAS IS A BUNCH OF NICE THINGS TO SEE.. ITS A SHAME TO SPEND 65.00 ON NOTHING... SORRY TO PUT TO YOU LIKE THAT, BUT GET A LITTLE UPSET WHEN PEOPLE ARE TOUTING A BOOK THAT IS NOT A RESTORATION BOOK...RICHARD

I'm gonna side with 3334capn on this. Don't get me wrong..... I own, review and like the book tons.... I find it very helpful in showing what it likely should look like... It's just limited when it comes to hands on stuff.

33334capn & savvy, None of the club's books are intended to educate the would-be restorer on methods and techniques. These skills are best learned first hand at Community Colleges or at Regional Group tech shops if your group has one. Ask at a meeting, others have been there, done that, and would be glad to help or instruct. What our books do extremely well is to inform the reader on matters of what his car was like when it left the assembly line back in the day. What was the exact material, texture, and color of top material, what was the finish on the bolts used to hold the grille in place? The air cleaner had which decal where? Which manifold is correct for my car? Top irons painted or plated? All these questions and hundreds more are answered in captioned pictures and paragraphs of text. Years of research on original cars and in Ford archives, dedicated V8ers contributing their time, experience, and knowledge to insure that restorers have the right answers to the way it was. I'm sorry you consider our books "nothing". If you want "nice things to see", go to a neighborhood car show. If you want to see a correctly restored Ford, go to an EFV8CA Meet Concourse. Those are the guys who read our books.

Thanks Alan for defending my suggestion. I will continue to advise people to buy the Club's books, because they are the best reference to a correct restoration. There are many 'how to' books on the market, but IMHO most of them are not worth the price as they are too general to be of much help. The best 'how to' advice comes from the different forums and other Club members.
