I know a club in Cedar Rapids Iowa that would love to have lunch or dinner with him if he makes it though Iowa on his trip. probably even get a few cars to travel a ways with him

In a few years we will be seeing posts that say "please help, i had the model A plugged in all night and it still wont go" :)

I have flown a pietenpol, it was built in 1929 with a model A engine but has since been upgraded to a C-65 out of a cub.

sounds like a great trip. so back on Monday night that means you can start planning and preparing for next falls road trip. :)

The best answer I've given to the question "how fast does it go" and this doesn't matter weather it be on two wheels, four, or has wings, is "Fast enough to scare you"

DJ S two words, two syllables: ROAD TRIP!

Dad and I just joined a model A club. I am the "kid" in the club, which is sad since i'll be 40 in a couple of months

I'm pretty sure there were paint and body shops in the 1930s just like today, if you want your car another color you could get it painted then just as today. It's your car, you will be the one driving and showing it off. Paint it whatever color you want and enjoy it.

nice looking car. I am a flyer too with time in several old airplanes from cubs, champs, taylorcrafts, T-6s, and even a pietenpol powered by a 40hp model A engine

Are you ever done? there's always one more thing you can do, or go back and redo because it was one of the first things you did and now its time to redo it. and if you ever do get it just perfect you will then be on the look out for your next one.
