Was there ever any sort of weather seal gasket for the outside bottom of Fordor windows? There are gaskets on the rear window and everywhere else but no apparent way to mount a weather seal outside as there is on the inside When I wash my car I am always careful around the windows to keep water...

To answer Barry my 29 Fordor is pretty well dialed in suspension wise and the streering is about as good as it gets thanks to Robert Lancaster, my Model A guru since my teen years but...I don't have shocks. When I hit a bump at high speed it feels dicey so to speak. That momentary hop over the...

I have been assured that my current problem with my engine doesn't have anything to do with the way I drove the car. My low mileage engine developed a miss and was not firing on number three, no fire to three at all. All the standard remedies were tried, wires checked new plugs and carb but it...

I restore om and took it apart to better clean the "marbles". It turned out they weren't marbles at all but were a solid glass molding with the silver painted on the back. I have to believe that it is an attempt at mirroring. I was able to get it clean and it looks and reflects beautifully.

What wonderful responses! My hat is off to the true gentlemen of the Barn! I never thought of what RV people are doing or that there may be other folks doing the same. I can try the generator today just by running a cord and air tube to my car from the trailer. I will investigate the refill...

Vision of vaporizing in a flash of white light comes to mind when even I think of my present situation. Yes.....I do know pure oxygen supports fire and burns rapidly. Probably dangerous huh? I have COPD and have been prescribed 24 hour oxygen. I have to walk around tagging a little trailer with...

Clyde Ross Morgan does some terrific work and has a web site easy to find by name. Model A sculptures that look like die cast in bronze

Here is one picture of the wax so far. The specks are packing foam that are attracted to the wax for some reason Looks bigger than it is

I used to do jewelry work in college and art later. I've Now done a mascot of my springer in wax would like my noble dog immortalized on my model A radiator cap. Does anyone know a Barn member or firm that will do one off castings or a small number in the pewter like substance of which the...

Thank you very much for your intelligent answer and respectful reply. It is just what I wanted and I appreciate it very much. The fellow that has my car and overdrive is 60 miles away and I don't have access to the instructions. For those who sought to hijack the posting with biscuit and...

Could someone please go into depth as to what is involved adjusting the lash and what exactly that is when re-installing the drive shaft and pinion gear when installing a Mitchell Overdrive. Am I even in the ball park......? I envision the adjustment as adjusting the depth that the pinion...

I took a battery back today that had gone bad because I had cycled it one too many times by letting a small draw run the battery down to zero. My fault but I trusted the warranty would save me and I abused the battery through my neglect. The warrant didn't save me and I was disappointed to...

Really guys? Peppermint Patti made a post turtle out of her dead husband's 37 coupe......this has to do with Mitchell Overdrives and Model A restoration how? Who are we hurting being so off the track and silly discussing trivia not related to the original post? I say no one. The Forum isn't a...

Aloof and Sanctimonious .........Now I get the meaning in context!
