Who's making wooden firewalls now?

You might check with Jonathan Anderson <jpautowood@gmail.com> I've also seen this ad on Facebook Marketplace but I've had no contact with the seller whatsoever <https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 01155e4250> John Regan used to make some great firewalls, might still.

I got mine from Snyder's when I was restoring our 11 touring. I believe that they may make them. It was nice workmanship and a reasonable price.

Based on prior suggestions on the forum site, I used Laurel Mountain Forge cherry stain that you can buy from the link below. My car had the original firewall (that was falling apart) that I replaced during the restoration, and this stain matches well the original stain found on areas that had been covered on the firewall. I also used multiple applications of hand rubbed "tung oil" equivalent to seal the wood.

Off topic, I looked at the photo and wondered if your car had a radio antennae! It's just a lamp pole lined up with the side lamp bracket.

Yes, it was on of those rare aftermarket accessories for the Model T! The lamp does provide some good light while driving in the dark. LOL

Neil...LMAO!! Try that pic like that again and it'll never work!

Are you looking for a specific one or just want to know who's making them?

A friend is building an early 11 and needs just the windshield spacer.

Don,
Here is the drawings for a 1911 Filler board, which would be easy to make if your friend is handy with some basic power tools. I can send you a high res drawing if you want it.

Thanks , yes send it please.

Great drawing Mike. Would you mind emailing me the print as well? If you have the main firewall drawing as well, that too would be welcome. Email is Distagon2 at aol dot com.

I strongly suspect by the draftsman's signature, that this is a product of a fellow Forum Member.

If so, you may wish to contact him directly. There may or may not be a small fee involved, but might as well compensate him for his efforts if that's the case.

Thanks, Scott. Good point you make.

The author of the filler board made it available for download to members

I am starting this topic to help answer Art Ebeling's question about Dash Fillerboards for the 1911 cars. My brother owns a 1911 Touring built in August 1911. This was the car that came out of the Ford dealership in Dublin, GA. During the restoration we were able to use the original fillerboard. I created a drawing from the original fillerboard on his car to answer Art's question. It is attached below and can be downloaded and printed.

Excellent!

thank you for the update, Frank, and a big THANK YOU to the draftsman, Alan.
