Well, after many hours of matriculate cleaning, part replacing, gauging, scrounging parts, bartering and measuring the old gal fired up this weekend and runs like a charm. She sat for 49 years, all toll, waiting for this chance to bark once more. I started her with the hand crank as did my son. It's an experience only an "A" guy could appreciate. It's a proud time for me.

Congrats!! Nothing like that feeling for sure on getting that "Sleeping Beauty" Model A engine running after a long sleep.

With those 2 x 4's it looks like you already have a good start on a Woody body?

Thanks - tried to put a video of her starting up but there were security issues - and yes, lots of wood work to come!!

Yo, Ray,
Nobody mentioned "GOOSEBUMPS!"
"RIP-VAN VERMIN'S" new engine had been sleeping since '87, fired right up, perfect, as though it had been run yesterday!! Bill W.
