    I can't speak for anybody else, but I certainly don't feel that way
myself. I'd be glad to help, but have absolutely no clue whatsoever about
cars that old - I mean, wow, 1929! My dad's been dead for a decade now, and
he was six when that car was new.... I'm not even sure the parts you need
are still here - people crush stuff like mad these days.
    Anybody who can save a nearly century-old car deserves nothing but
praise in my book. It's the sort of task I only thtink of as being
undertaken by museums and the like. Best of luck with your car!
