Thanks guys for all of your responses, I knew I could count on you all.. Gyrodoc, I will definitely be in contact with you soon. :-)

Hello fellow Model A'ers. My family and I are looking to join a local Model A car club in Southern California particularly in the area of Ontario, California. We've emailed a couple in the area to ask about joining but they do not respond. :confused: We are already members of MAFCA. Can any of...

Today I removed and cleaned out the light switch assembly at the bottom of the steering column. It was full of gunky grease/oil.. It was nasty to say the least. Now my horn works all the time. It also fixed the high beams issue. :)

Thanks, Carl! This is exactly what I needed. :)

Can I add this column support to my 1929 Model A or is this for 30 and 31 only? Thanks, Flamingo!

Ok, I'm going to find someone who can do this for me here in So Cal. Do any of you know someone who can do this type of work? I'll pay good money. Thanks guys!

Hello Neil.. I certainly dont want them to rebrand my Model A. :eek: Thanks for the heads up. I will be in contact with you soon to get more advice from you on the other options.

The VIN number on the chassis matches the title certificate but the engine doesn't.

Thanks CarlG.. I agree. I think the engine has been replaced. But weird thing is that the out of state (Colorado in this case) title certificate shows a different VIN number on it. Is that going to be a problem when CHP inspects it?

Guys, I bought my Model A out of state. I need to register it in California. I just got back from DMV and my Model A didn't pass inspection because the engine serial number didn't match the Title Certificate. So, the DMV referred me to the local CHP office for further inspection. I have an...

Go Team USA!!!

I agree. Thanks Purdy for your advice.
