I just had that problem. Sounded like chipmunks in a cage. Only heard it when there was high vacuum, like at idle. It was a vacuum leak between the carb and manifold. I removed the Tillotson carb and checked the flange flatness with a straight edge. It showed about .040" gap. With the carb in a...

Uh-oh! Looks like the cold weather and cabin fever are having their effects.

It's redneck for "well, I'll be".

I don't need another car, but people rescue dogs no matter how many they have, right? It does look solid enough with a little cleaning it could be on the road.

http://www.kikoauctions.com/?nav=auctions&details=8227. A friend sent me this and said he would like to attend the auction to bid on his next hot rod project. That means I'll have to go to the auction to rescue this Model A. It looks solid and complete. What do you all think it' worth?

I'm retiring in 23 days and I bought a '52 F1 2 years ago for one of my projects. Can't wait to get started. Seeing your pictures just make me anxious! Good luck and keep the progress pictures coming.

My 2 cents worth. If the whole system is restored correctly, all the worn parts are gone, and the brakes are adjusted by the book, mechanical brakes are great. I recommend getting cast iron drums. You will notice a big improvement, especially braking on a longer hill.

$10 shoes would spell the end for me. I have flat feet and have to have New Balance shoes and orthotic inserts. Once they're tuned in, I'm good to go.

When I was in 7th grade, my shop teacher lived in the neighborhood. He had brought a '29 pickup from Colorado and was restoring it in his garage. I was overcome with curiosity and my Dad saw this. Two years later, I received a basket case '30 tudor for Christmas, best present ever. Well, Dad and...

According to The Weather Channel, Wednesday and Thursday, 82 and Friday 79. I'll take it!

You can go on the AACA Hershey Region website and print maps of the whole show and individual fields. Then, if you have a few spaces to stop at, you can highlight them. Light poles numbers are noted, which helps. See all you Barners there!

I can feel the excitement. Looks great. I have a Vicky that I bought for a retirement project and retirement is 102 days away!

Dual AAOOOOGAH horns!

Great find! I would have bid on it if I were at an auction. The toy box is almost full, but can always make room for another. Personally,I would leave it like it is and drive it for a while. Have you all seen some of the cars at cruises lately? It would fit right in, minus the mouse smell, of...

Jeff, we're all drooling for pictures!
