When you register and license a Model A in Arizona you can get an “Historical Vehicle” copper license plate, I have 6 cars licensed that way and insured with Haggerty.

Thanks very much, looks like he's the guy.

Wondering if anyone has a contact for either rebuilding or acquiring rear window curtains for a '29 Town Sedan. My Town Sedan has the original brown mohair interior and the silk curtains are severely stained beyond cleaning. The fabric needs to be replaced but it looks like the fabric is...

I bought a 16’ aluminum V-nose fitted with an aluminum front cabinet, interior lighting and aircraft L-track tie downs. With a V-nose you get a little extra space to offset the shorter trailer length so I’m happy with my set up, since I occasionally tow with a 25’ motor home the shorter length...

Nice video, looks like a great adventure. Doesn’t look like AZ is on your list, but if by chance you wind up going through Page, Az., (northern border @ Lake Powell) I’ll offer up my shop for maintenance work. I have a fair inventory of spare parts also if in need.

What model are you working on? I have photos of an install I did on a ‘30 coupe.

It took about half of the backlash out, but was enough to get rid of a slight wobble I had when slowing down while straight ahead.

John, I just finished doing this on a ‘28 Tudor with about 4” of backlash and it worked very well. Thanks for the post, it’s a simple and easy procedure that I would have never thought of.

I own 5 cars in Page, does that count?

Tom thanks for the reply. What you mentioned about the baffles is exactly what I found when I tried to use the old style housing so I'm glad I have a newer case with snap rings. Interesting about the roller bearings, I ordered new ones but the old set looks good so I'll take your advice. I...

I'm in the process of rebuilding the transmission on a '28 Tudor. I have two good cases, one with the shoulder for main bearing stops, and one with snap rings. The case that came out of this car is the one with the shoulder (prior Sept. '29), but one of the issues with this ****** was...

Re: Trailering ‘28 Model A Phaeton Depending on the gradient of the ramp and height of trailer you may want to consider putting a ****** block on your cable, it’s essentially a pulley that floats on the cable, the hook end of cable is connected to near the winch, and the pulley is connected to...

I’m with Holdover, need to drive my 5 more often too, maybe bring up some new issues that need attention. 28 Tudor, 29 Tudor, 28 Phaeton, 29 Roadster P.U., 30 Coupe. But big changes for the 29 Tudor hopefully destined for the 2021 MAFCA NH tour: Mitchell Overdrive 6V Alternator Leakless Water...

Thanks for the good advice, it looks like the fluid leak is oil, so what is the best oil to replenish?

This is somewhat of a departure from the original conversation, but pertains to shock fluid. I recently acquired a completely restored running chassis with restored shocks. Two of the shocks are leaking fluid and I’m not experienced enough to tell what type of fluid was used in the...
