Jack will be missed! When I first found my Model A Coupe in a barn, I contacted Jack to give me advise on what all I needed to do to get it running. He was very helpful. Jack even talked me out of putting hydraulic brakes on my car and stick with originals, which I am gratiful for. Thanks Jack...

I own a 1930 Coupe that was a barn find. My suggestion to you is before you buy, see if the seller has any photos of what had been done to the car in the past. Mine had a nice paint on it with some cracking and pealing, but I wanted to know what condition the body was in so I had it taken down...

You would be surprised what a few extra inches will do for you. I did not do anything but move the seat back that 3-4 inches. Reducing the size of the...

Dougs, I bought my Bergs radiator by calling by phone and ordering that way. Sorry don't remember the phone number. Hugh

I to bought the clear Gano filter. It has collected some small particles from the engine before it reached my new radiator. Well worth the money.
