Yes...I think I got in for the Leonardtown class! Fingers crossed...:p

jcfox, Another invaluable resource for new owners is a local Model A club...trust me on that one. Here's a link to our club in the DC area: http://www.gwcmodela.org/ Dan

Bratton's primarily...they have most of what I've needed so far (and they are close, so I get the parts very quick). I've also used Mac's for a couple of items...no complaints.

I clipped this from an older post.

Re: Pittaway’s 1729 c.i. S76 Fiat "NOT MODEL A BUT WORTH THE WATCH!!" Ho. Lee. Crap.

Welcome. I'm with you, going for drivability first, as I started with a bodged-together 28/29/30....but I'm already looking for my second one :D.

Back in the days when I worked in a marina, we used a spray-on vinyl paint to restore/re-color vinyl seats on older boats that we were trying to sell. It worked...to an extent. I remember that the seats would feel tacky whenever they got warm (e.g., sitting in the sun for a bit).

I was sort of born with the nickname Boomer (born on July 4th)...USMC for Uncle Sam's Misguided Children :)

Warren, Any recent transmission work or replacement? There was a recent thread on a similar issue: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158973&highlight=jump+gear

Fred, Some tips for visual ID: -Early 28 hoods had bottom edge of louvers parallel to bottom of side panel, all others (later 28 thru 28), the top edge of lovers were parallel to the hinge line. Also, early 28 hood handles have two rivets per handle...the rest have 4 per handle. -28/29...

You probably hit CTRL + B when you meant to hit Shift + B to capitalize the B in "Best Buy"...CTRL+B is a way to quickly switch between bold/regular font in many applications.

I like it...might steal the idea for mine.

Can't wait to check it out...as soon as my Restorer gets here ;)

Dino...not sure how close you are, but I'm in Stafford, Va. Holler if you need a hand.
