All my toys were neglected last year, trying to plan better to not do the same this year. I visit Florida each March to do a couple motorcycle track days with my son and friends. We were down there when things started shutting down in 2020, came home to chaos and panic (the great toilet paper...

My wife and myself have different tastes in cars mostly, except for the muscle car era. She loves the big large boats and I can't get enough of the 20's and 30's. Been together over 20 years, I did recently add another motorcycle to the collection, never told her. Got to the DMV and I just...

Just had my radiator pulled out and sent to a shop to be repaired. The top hose neck was leaking pretty bad from a poor repair job from previous owner. Was $90 to be properly fixed, cleaned up and made to look like new. Perfect time to install new hoses and clamps. Dang clamps are $$$ but are...

Anti-theft for many decades. Heck, sadly a manual transmission is anti-theft device now as so many fail to learn how to do this is as well.

Have them on my '29 deluxe roadster and the tire may touch the sides just a bit but with the lugs tightened (2 at the top, 1 at the bottom) the whole car shakes when you try to move the mounted wheel. I did have to remove the right side wheel this past weekend as I thought I had a carb mounting...

Have thought about possible installation of seat belts. Even with it being an open top Deluxe Roadster I don't see more than lap belts being used. The other flip of the coin is why mess with it. I ride motorcycles on the street and do track days were you hit 140+ mph every single lap. At...

Keep it simple Follow the power and see where it stops. Armored wire going to the bottom plate, make sure you didn't screw it in too far. The flag terminal on the bottom plate that the armored wire goes to. I replaced mine and lost voltage to my points. Drove me crazy till I found the...

some good prices,

when women say it, its the only excuse you need to not do anything. :D

anyone ever watch Fast and Loud, they used a mastercyclinder on a few A's mounted to frame under floor board and has linkage to connect it to the brake pedal.

glad you got spark. such a great feeling. I spent many evening burning brain cells till that one faithfull night I said "screw it, will redo it again" then a spark and holly crap we got a spark...

went through this issue last year on the '29. Fought it for 6 months. flag terminal where the wire connects to the bar where the armored wire contacts on the bottom plate of the distributor was close enough to make contact with top plate. or closer to the top plate that it would spark there...

Doesnt last forever, really cool stuff if you dont mind reapplying seen it applied to a sidewalk and after two weeks the sidewalk was back to normal.

Re: Owner of Recovered Ford Model A Doesn’t Want Vehicle Back Being a young buck (34 yrs old) I love driving my father in laws A. Had it for 14 months working on it. Cruising in a model A is nice and relaxing while holding up traffic on the back roads. I gave it back to him 1.5yrs ago but still...

Thanks guys, he really liked it. to be honest I liked it enough to keep it for myself, but wrapped it up and give it too him. He also got two lamps with images of A's on them from my brother in law. The lamps look to be make from old clear tall jugs.
