I installed retractables on my 31 coupe that I first saw on Vince Falters site. Installation photos are on "got belts" web site http://www.gotbelts.com/installation-photos/ford/1931-model-a/ The best part about these is they don't fall out and ding the splash aprons like my other car.

Does this mean the cabbies and the A400 will all have tops??? Good Job! Frank

Yep, a perfect Anniversary, congratulations. Frank

Art Moore FAST member in Southern California uses Chrysler automatic in his A's as he does not have use of his legs. Jim Brierly who post here often can put you in touch. Frank

Here are what looks like nice retractable, on Vince's site. http://www.fordgarage.com/ I've purchased a set but have not yet installed. I can get all the info on the company and installation procedures if you like. Frank

Bummer John, at least you have an Arizona blindblack to drive until you get the cabby fixed. Your sad story will appear in the next edition of "The Desert A" Good Luck on the settlement. Frank

I am nearing completion of a 4 year restoration project on my standard coupe. I'll soon be doing the roof and the upholstery. Any advise on doing the headliner before the roof or visa versa? Thanks Frank

Perfect, just what I have been looking for. For my 31 Std Coupe. Frank

MAFCA, MARC, Model A Restorers Club of Arizona, Model A Touring Club, F.A.S.T., AA club, and probably a couple others.

I have a diamond block (no cracks?) block, a recently ground, drilled & balanced crank, new inserted rods from Eubanks and trying to figure out what to do next. Have'nt worked out the thrust yet, interested in what others have done. Frank

You are in the right place. Actually quite simple once you get the feel of it. I may even have the coupe ready for Vancouver. That's the one I offered you for Dallas. A bit behind schedule. Bugger! Frank

Looking good Richard! I too enjoyed your 2009 trip. Frank

Yes, not too difficult. I have just done it to my coupe. You will see it in the fall. Make sure to get the "good hinges" at Arizona Model A. Frank

I think this format will work well, when I get it figured out. Frank in Arizona
