With all due respect to Snyder's, who have one of the best reputations in the Model A parts world, they didn't have everything I needed either, thus Bert's who did have everything in stock. I've ordered from Bert's before and always been happy. The mechanic who was putting my "A" back together...

I'm pretty sure that sales of his products are cyclical. i.e., this time of year there are probably lots of folks ordering parts for their winter projects. In May of this year I called in an order on Thursday (late in the day). On Tuesday morning the parts were delivered to the Bartlesville...

47; If you're up for it cruise over to the H.A.M.B. and search. There are several threads over there explaining and showing rearching of springs. There are probably as many ways to accomplish this as there are people performing it. Many of them are shown there.

I imagine that most of your clubs have a Christmas party Let's hear about yours. The Mid Missouri Model A Restorers Club usually has a lunch meal. Meat and veggies catered and everyone brings a side dish also. The catered food usually is chicken, ham, mashed 'taters, green beans, and rolls...

I'm amazed all over again every time I look at this thread.

Here's how I came to love original/restored Model A's: I'm 75 years old and have been into hot rods all my life. My (late) best friend would start building a hot rod, get half way done with it, and lose interest; just to go buy another old car and start another hot rod. Some time in the...

This story might or might not help someone on here. Quite a few years ago my friend (let's call him John Doe) bought a Model A coupe in a state other than Missouri where he lived. Missouri required an ID/OD inspection for all cars titled in another state and bought by a Missouri resident in...
