    Fun With Asphaltum Paint!

    Don't know how much it counts, Darryl, but I spent the summer of 1964 at 24 mile Chena Hot Springs Road. Homesteaders.

    Fun With Asphaltum Paint!

    I am liking you, gwhite. But I still don't care what kind of black is black. Call me thoroughly modern Larry.

    Fun With Asphaltum Paint!

    I like modified Model As myself. Will slip in a dropped axle and hydraulic brakes here and there. Should we be communicating on H.A.M.B instead of the "By God, how it was in the first place/how it should be now site?" Your thirst for accuracy is admirable, I suppose, but aren't you a bit over...

    Frame Number

    Thanks, 160B. I am starting to like this place. Buncha ... wise guys.Tom Wesenberg, whom I trust implicitly in such matters, has said: "The engine was stamped when completed, then the same number was stamped on the frame when the engine was installed, so it could be a few days or months later."...

    Beautiful brakes

    You got my drift, Pete. Sayin' those parts are beautiful, that's all. I have heard every debate there is about mechanical vs hydraulic since I, at age 16, got my 45B in 1959. That was the same time, BTW, I started craving hydraulics. I got the car, my first one, because it was so old timey, and...

    Beautiful brakes

    Got my new MT Car Products hydraulic brake kit today. It is beautiful. Costy, but no moreso than a correct original setup. Saying beautiful. And BRAND NEW. Hope that is OK. Some of you might want to recommend me to the hot rodders, but I like it here with the older and wiser guys. If you care to...

    Such A Clutch

    My '30 coupe, which is fairly dilapidated, but not terminally infirm, and can move under its own power, has suddenly decided to present me with a clutch stuck in the disengaged position.This fills me with dismay and keeps me awake at night. Why? Why, say I? It was just sitting there in my Ford...

    16 inch wheels

    Hey, I'll say that again...

    16 inch wheels

    Jordan is right, Slackcat, about those wheels being applied to Model As ever since 1935. My 45B was, and had been for years, wearing them when I acquired it in 1959. And except for some excess air 'twixt tires and fenders, you are right about looks good. Looks much more stable. Of course...
