Charlie, where are you buying the American Classic tires. ? I need a set of wide white radials 215/75/R15 for my 49 Ford F-1. Thanks

I’m going Friday with grandson Red Pond 2. I will be leaving my 3 at home though and riding modern with him.

Well I am Grandpa to Redpond2. I am a preservationist, Owner of Fords from T to Pinto, and a 61 year Model A owner. I was so pleased with his interest in this truck, and in its preservation. It is truly a rare find. I am also pleased with your interest and support in his project. Believe...

I filled a few cracks with epoxy then painted with PPG single stage Concept urethane. It has held up well for more than 15 years

I finally bought a Greg Smith 4 post lift 2 years ago. it’s wonderful. I’m sorry I waited so long. I wanted a drive on lift to accommodate Model A and Ts and other vehicles that require getting on floor to arrange lifting arms. I am also able to store a car above and still drive under. I...

For years I have been accumulating parts to change my stock 49 Mercury to overdrive. The completed unit is assembled but with cover off it turns freely in neutral but will only shift into second. When shifting to high, low or reverse it will only turn a few degrees. The 28 tooth cluster...
