[QUOTE=Dave Severson] Did you guys get the snow this time Tom????

No snow YET. Had lots of slush last night to drive through. Got home tonight around 8:00 and it was snowing real lite.

Junked out two cars today an old K car and a Nissen, prices are still holding at $300.00 a ton for car bodies.

My son told me about a coupe the other day, looks like something in the '30s, I'll try to get some pictures, from the road it looks like several trees are growing through it.

Tom,
How come your son scrapes cars, and you have to get your window parts off ebay? I scraped 3 gm cars and kept 3 different types, they all should work. I kept all the power everything & controls.

I wouldn't run the door popper latches(stock) I did in my '47 KB2, and the doors would pop open some times and were in great to perfect condition! Good thing I run seat belts! I put bear claws in my '37 chevy. they are not hard to put in, but you have to think about it, so they line up. My pins floated like a factory one does.

I just thought that it would be easier to put the stock ones back in. In my stock 27 T tudor they work perfectly. Never even thought about using newer ones and then I might even start looking for electric ones.

Tell me more about the latches/door hinges

The easiest way for you Tom, is to have you know who, do it for you, I don't want to make work for him. I hooked mine to the stock door handles.
There are templates for some out there, I have seen them, I made my own. You'll need to drill screw holes, and a cut a notch in the door for the pin to pass thru like on your everyday car.
I bought mine at Ax Man's, they had a barrel full of them, at the time, for $2.50 each (double latch). about 7-8 yrs ago. I only bought 8 pair, and 7 of the chrome wiper motors with park at $6.00 each. I like bargain buys.

I don't want to add any more to "you know who's" work load.

Does anyone have a picture of the latch on a T closed car?

I just noticed a picture in the gallery of Briansrup (you know who I mean ) and he has a caption that says you can't run glass with the bear jaw latches cause you have to cut out the rails. Is that true or was it just on his???? It get's too damn cold here for no windows!!

Oh yea, and who sells those weld in templates??

Thanks,
Sean
