    Triple R oil cleaner???

    Thank you Dobie, I'm younger so have only been around newer stuff. Never heard about toilet paper oil filters! That got me on the right track, seems like they were a thing back then. I looked it up and now see Frantz sells the same kit but I think updated. Seems like there are reviews of them...

    Triple R oil cleaner???

    ]Stumbled across some filters called Triple R filters... Two cases of them! I'm really not sure where to put a post like this, so I'm sorry if this is not allowed, I'm hoping one of you may have remembered using these back in the day. I also managed to find an entire dealer catalog, new...

    Custom textured cardboard paneling?

    Hi all, Have a Ford truck that is not a V8 and a diesel, but it is older. I need a custom cardboard headliner made. Stuff like you'd see in 50s-60s cars, that fine textured colored cardboard paneling like for kick panels and package trays. Does anyone here have access to large sheets of that...

    Enclosed Transportation inquiry

    I've used Montway I think twice now. No complaints. Like others have said, they are simply the "dealer", kind of like on eBay. You buy from an individual, not eBay, it's just the service/broker.

    Gas Gauge

    Test the new float first if it is one of the metal ones! Leave it in a gas can for a day before installing and watching the gauge go to zero again because there's a hole...

    Nice 1930 2Dr. Sedan

    Depends. What's nice to you? Some people consider a mostly original pieced together rusted A with an older repaint and a worn out engine and chassis 'nice'. I see those for $10-$15k. There are ones that have a rebuilt engine and somewhat refreshed chassis, which is what I would think of as nice...

    Shouldn't the wheels always pretty much be black, especially for a standard model?

    1929 Murray Exterior Door Handles

    Personal opinion here, but frame off restoration would be restore what's there in my eyes, and if you're spending the money and time on that, a good rechrome probably wont kill you. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the reproduction handles not known to be the best anyways? Maybe...

    Left my Ignition on Like a Dummy....

    Sounds to me like a dead battery... I have a vintage car (not an A) that went into storage for the winter on a trickle charger, charger said 100%, yet car wouldn't start in the spring. The cold cranking amps were gone, just a dead battery. You can also get an multi meter and check the voltage...

    Trouble starting my Model A

    Ethanol sucks in moisture from the air, and could grow algae and other sediment, which could clog the small passages, and it gets "stale" quick, within a few months.
