  I am in the process of restoring 1934 Ford Cabriolet. Somewhere along the line there have been some parts "misplaced", that I can not readily obtain. I am searching for the door window glass tracks, a fuel gauge, and an ignition switch. If anyone knows where I might come by these items it would be greatly appreciated.

  Southside Obsolete in Minn. had the fuel gauge NOS check with Fred. He has a web page.
Third Gen Automotive in Tenn. may have the ignition switch check with Mike in about a week.
Glass tracks I have no idea

  I am not aware of the glass, side tracks, being reproduced. You may want to keep your eyes open for originals.

  Check with Regulator Roy who advertises in the V-8 Times. He has some glass tracks

  I bought one from MAC's for my Fordor 34. My channel was rusted away and the reproduction one as wrong. the brackets welded to the channel were in the wrong places.
I welded the original brackets to the new channel and it works fine. (New channel was cheap cr*p, but a careful mig job worked.)
I sent pictures and diagrams with accurate measurement to MAC's. Never heard if they used them or not. Good Luck.

1934 Ford's since 1972
