    OK! Let's get personal!

    I’m 25 and loving every mile in a Model A! Rolled my odometer to 70,000 earlier this year (or 170 or 270!) so I’ve put about 12,000 miles on my A since I’ve had it.

    hood support

    Is your upper rad tank missing the hood tabs?

    Hood Prop Kits

    FYI, original radiator upper tanks had tabs for holding your hood up! They work very well on mine! (Although the original '29 core left a little to be desired in Texas summers).

    Brake de-conversion question

    Hi all, I recently recieved a phone call from family asking me if I wanted to purchase a coupe that has family history. I'm interested in it, since none of my cars have any family lineage, but the car has hydraulic brakes. My question is, assuming the set-up was done fairly well/is...

    First adventure with my new phaeton

    Nice car! I saw it at chickasha and wondered if it went home with someone, a very nice car that looked ready to be used and maintained! Have fun!

    Vintage photos

    I've looked for them just out of curiousity and this is the only one I've come across lately http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=311145360910

    Vintage photos

    And those aren't directionals on the fenders, those are ford accessory fender lights, I know of a few cars around me with them, very neat, the lenses are shrunken versions of the headlight lenses, fluted for 28 and the same pattern as the later twolite in 29. The horn may be a motovox, or...

    Spark arrestor

    I wonder if the rocks were there to prevent gas from splashing from the initial pull of the lever on a gas nozzle that has a fixed (high) pressure. I remember awhile back someone found broken mason jar glass in the bottom of their screen, removed it, and the next time they filled up, realized...

    29 Sedan front seats

    Are the reversible seat brackets already in the far position? (Somewhat 'S' shaped with a pin through them.

    Can the Model A hobby survive?

    I agree the hobby will definitely survive, I think it'll evolve a little, I'm one of the younger members of my club (21) but there are a few children or grandchildren of older members that are taking interest in the hobby, and I do agree with mike as far as the shortcomings you have mentioned...

    Shock-ing! Christmas arrived early

    Great video, those are beautiful! Something neat would be to film your car from the outside going over some bumps and cornering without shocks, and then film the same places once the shocks are installed!

    Engine compartment pans

    I like them, but correct me if I'm wrong, the only ones reproduced are 30-31, I have a 29 and they fit, but not as well as original 29 pans I've seen. As far as function I believe yes they were to aid airflow and to keep the compartment clean especially considering roads of the era. Also if you...

    Using original 29 core

    I was looking to get original top and bottom tanks for my 29 and ended up coming across a complete original 29 rad including the core. I've heard these are pretty inefficient at cooling and I live in Texas and drive my car quite a bit, year round. Does anyone have any experience running an...

    Powerhouse rebuilder?

    He rebuilt my 5-brush top mounted cutout and added a regulator earlier this year, it's worked flawlessly over quite a few miles so far!
